Importing Flash into Dreamweaver

Im creating a website in Dreamweaver, and have made some
interactive features in Flash to import over. They import over and
work fine, however, it is also importing the white background with
it, which i do not need. Is there a way of getting rid of the white
background, so it is transparent?
Its a right pain, because the background of my site has a few
designs on, where the object will be, so a white square behind it
ruins it!
Cheers
graeme

In the flash object, add the following parameter (or change
it to transparent if it already exists) :
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
and in the embed tag add:
wmode="transparent"

Inserting FLASH into Dreamweaver cs3

I am trying to build a VERY basic website in Dreamweaver. Using their single fixed column, centered,template, i would like to ad 2 flash items, a menu and small movie, in to he top of the column. (Both flash items are larger than the column with, if that matters,i was going to resizxe them nce i got this part of the cose correct)
For some reason the flash movie shows in my Dreamweaver preview, but not when i load it live online @ www.srg-buffalo.com.
The address i have used for the flash movie is: http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
The website is hosted at www.swq-buffalo.com, if you want to check out the source code.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong, i thought it was pretty simple, there is no flash block via my go daddy host.
How i inserted it via dreamweaver cs3:
Insert> Media> Flash.
URL= http://www.srg-buffalo.com/flash/header_v8.swf
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.

Thank you,
That rung a bell.
I uploaded both saved .SWF documents to the Scripts directory.
There was also a Scripts dirrectory saved with index.html, in this directory was the AC_RunActiveContent.js file,any thoughts on that?
i uploaded it to scripts,along witht he others, and the space dedicatd to the flash events is there, but they are not showing.

Subject: Inserting FLASH into Dreamweaver cs3
When you insert the SWF, you shouldn't have to actual type anything - it's a browse and select process and will automatically enter the correct path to the SWF. Then you have to upload the page and the SWF file. This next part I think has changed in later versions of DW, but in CS3 I'm pretty sure the process will also create a folder named Scripts. This folder along with it's contents also need to be uploaded.

Importing moview into Dreamweaver

I've imported a movie into Dreamweaver, I set the movie fill
to the same colour as the background in Dreamweaver. I don't like
the way when I go to the website I'm working on a white box appears
before the movie starts to run. Is there some other setting I
should have changed to the same colour as the background too? It
just doesn't look very good.
Also, the stroke line seems to be a slightly different colour
even though I've set everything to the same hex code in Flash.
Thanks

Hi mikehx,
It has been quite some ages for me to use PageMill (and
SiteMill). Like others have said, lot has changed since PageMill
and these days with Dreamweaver.
Along with transition from PageMill to Dreamweaver, I would
think that it is fair for me to say -- learn some HTML and CSS.
Because it is what it is. The more comfort zone you work with HTML
(and CSS), then you feel more comfortable working with any web
authoring application, perhaps with Dreamweaver CS3.
I would think that you probably feel overwhelmed with
Dreamweaver as to get used to use this app, because it is rather
much more powerful HTML editing application around Dreamweaver as
opposed to PageMill.
Hope that helps and good luck with your project.
Cheers, Brian

Problems importing avi into dreamweaver

I am trying to play an avi animation in Dreamweaver but the
animation will not play.
I have tried insert/media/
flash/shockwave/applet/Plugin/activex.
None of these methods work. There doesnt seem to be an action
button for inserting avi's.
Is ther any coding I can use to import my avi into a table in
my dreamweaver page or is there another way to import an avi into
Dreamweaver.
I have also tried dragging the file onto the screen from the
site menu but error appears "fail to open document"
I have tested the avi and it plays okay in a media player
Please help

You would embed it or link to it, but honestly, if you have
access to Flash
8, I would advise converting the avi to a Flash flv ..
wonderful quality at
a fraction of the file size.

Importing Flash into PowerPoint

Hello - I have a Flash file that I would like to import into PowerPoint. Below are my questions. I am hoping to get some guidance on this.
First a few pieces of information:
1. I use a Mac but have a Parallel system at work so I have access to Windows PPT 2008. I am using Flash CS5.
2. The Flash file is not huge, it's just these animated curtains that open up to reveal a logo and text.
Questions:
1. I have found the only way to import the Flash file is to export as a .mov and then import that into PPT. This works great EXCEPT for that the text and logo look blurry in PPT. I have no idea why.
2. Is it possible to export a .mov file with just the curtain animation but with a transparent background so that when I import into PPT, we can just type the text directly within PPT and not have to include that in the Flash file?
3. I read online that you can import SWFs into Windows PPT but I have not been able to get that to work either.
Thanks in advance for any and all information!!

Importing Flash into FCP

I have Flash Pro 8 and FCP Pro HD and am still trying to learn both.
Can I create a piece in Flash and import it into FCP? If I need to upgrade FCP, I will - I just need to know if it's possible, and how to do it.
thanks a lot.
j.

On a related question, I have a number of flash animations for a client, a comic, and the movie is in 5 parts...I have the latest version of FCP and of Flash, and I am having a lot of problems exporting to quicktime and importing to FCP. I have tried export movie>quicktime and quicktime movie, with a variety of codecs (animation, motion graphics, DV), and every time some tweens(individual) are dropped, and some sounds from the flash movie. There must be a way to just clone what I can see in my swf into FCP? If anyone knows how, please help.
(and please, dont tell me to learn the apps as I have a professional level knowledge of both.)

How to import Muse into Dreamweaver

I am trying to import my muse website into Dreamweaver because i want do design my website in muse and then use PHP and MySQL to make blogs and membership systems etc. When I open dreamweaver and right-click on the Muse website and press "Open With - Dreamweaver", it starts opening it (it only opens the Muse website and just shows a blank HTML)... then Dreamweaver stops responding and i have to close it. If there is any way of making a membership system and blog in Muse (which only certain people can edit [not using Muse]) then please reply an answer... or if possible can people please respond on how to open a muse website in dreamweaver.
Thanks in Advance
Richard

As a non-coding designer, I'd rather design and hand off or collaborate with a Dreamwear person who can do the html coding and maintenance. My interest is in what the viewer sees and how they use it, not necessarily know how to create code. Most of us know how to drive a car, but few know how to build one. Rather than let Muse become a "whipping post" and the bane of all Dreamweaver coders, perhaps Adobe might entertain the idea of making Muse files Dreamweaver friendly. They certainly have accomplished this in other areas ala Creative Suite. Business Catalyst is just their answer solutiion, but for many clients, isn't the way they conduct their business.
So in the meantime, it would great if people who are Dreamweaver evangelists provide some insight about figuring out how best to make things work. I mean it's you folks that are working under the hood. And, I respect that.
Thanks,
David

Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

Greetings,
Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

Problem when bringing flash into dreamweaver

Hi All,
I am creating a website in dreamweaver using my flash file. I
have a few buttons that link to pdf files in a blank window. The
pdf files open fine while in flash, but as soon as I bring it into
dreamweaver, the pdf's won't open. I have them all in the same
folder as the flash file...so, again, there is no problem in
flash...only in dreamweaver.
Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks so much!

Could you either explain how you are calling for the pdf
files or submit a link to the fla and html? Its kind of hard to
diagnose without really knowing what you did.

Integrating Flash into Dreamweaver

Hello All,
I am a newbie and just finished a Flash class. However we
didn't hardly talk at all about integrating Flash with Dreamweaver.
What I want to do is create an intro page that has Flash and
then you have to click on a Button to go into the main site. I
understand a little of Behaviors and Actionscripting so thought
that I would do the GetURL Behavior (going off memory here) to get
me from the Intro page to the main Dreamweaver site.
Question is... do I export an SWF file, put that in a
index.html page for the Intro page and then link to the main
Dreamweaver site but have the main site not an "Index" file but
another name...maybe main.html.
Is this what people do? Or do they take the generated .html
file from Flash (its published) and just use that as their intro.
Naming it index.html. And then linking to another *.html created
with Dreamweaver but that is not saved as index.html.
Also, how often are people doing a PURE Flash website and not
mixing the Flash and Dreamweaver together? Just curious.
Thanks for clarifying.
Computerkitten

Hmm... looks ok to me. You should be able to place it in a
folder without
problem. I'd try using SWFObject to put the Flash on the page
though - that
_might_ fix your problem. Odd one.

Can we import Flash into Edge Animate

Hi
I would like to know if we can import Flash animation into Edge Animate and into Muse

Hi Dan,
There is no such workflow as far as I know. However, Animate does support native HTML5 videos.

Problems Importing Files Into Dreamweaver

I have previously imported files in Dreamweaver by dragging them from my desktop & dropping them into my websites local files. Suddenly today, I can't get any files to import into Dreamweaver. I am using Dreamweaver 13.2 on a Mac with OS 10.9.2.

Nothing. I drag the files from my desktop to the target folder in Dreamweaver, and nothing happens. I have tried shutting everything down & bringing it all back up, and I have also tried re-saving the file to the desktop. I was putting an html file into Dreamweaver when I noticed it wasn't working, so I tried a Word doc & PDF, all with same results. Out of desperation, I just tried re-synching my website, but (as I expected), nothing changed.

Import Snippets into Dreamweaver CS4

Have searched in Help and not able to find out how to import
snippets into DW CS4 from DW CS3. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5. The snippets folder IS in the configuration folder for CS3,
but not the needed subfolder within the snippets folder with all my stuff in it?
There is no ApplicationData path for on my machine either. I have WPXPro.
Why not just create an import function.

Help please copying, importing files into Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am having trouble imporitng files into dreamweaver from Godady. What is my best route.
I downloaded Filezilla and connect my ISP, Hosting and passwords and successfuly my files loaded to filezilla.
I am perplexed at the next step as to how to get my files from FileZilla to Dreamweaver.
I am connected with the hosting, isp and file server as it shows in the box on the right.
I simply at the end of the day just want to make a few edits to content.

You can create a site in DW and download all the files using the "Get" action...
In DW go to Site > New Site
Give it a name (and an http address if you want)
When it asks "Where on your computer do you want to store your files? you can use the default folder it creates, or browse to a specific place
Next enter in all of your FTP info (like Filezilla)
Once you're finished, you should be presented with a FILES tab that shows your new empty folder.
Click the little extension cord plug-in icon on the left of that palette. This will connect to your site. Once connected, you can click the "Get" button, it's the down arrow in the same pallette.
This will download your entire site to your desktop as it currently exists. From here on out, you just modify your local file, then connect and "Put" the changed files.

Inserting Flash into Dreamweaver

I don't know if the solution is in Flash or Dreamweaver, so excuse me if this is the wrong location. I created a Flash Photo Gallery (swf file) and want to add it on my site. It's a fairly large file, so I also created a preloader to let viewers know that it's installing. The problem is my Flash file won't start playing until the whole thing is loaded, therefore you won't see the preloader until the whole thing is ready to play and so you don't need a preloader by that point. I can't get this Flash file any smaller and all I need to know is how you force Dreamweaver to start playing an SWF file before it's fully loaded. What I'm doing now is Insert > Media > SWF and then I find my file. From there, I can't find any option or code to tell it to start playing as it downloads. It's seems like it should be so simple, and I feel like the only person who can't figure this out!

If there is a nextg time, simply post a link to the live page (http://www.myproblempage.com) and people can peek under the hood.
Glad you got it solved.
Gary
