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

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,

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?

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.

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.

Thanks,

Hi guys,
I have upgraded from CS3 to CS5. The snippets folder IS in the configuration folder for CS3,

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.

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"

Sliced and imported photoshop layout into dreamweaver

First, I am a newbie to all of this web design stuff and
coding and dreamweaver. I wanted to create my first website so here
I am. I went through 2 different tutorials (youtube and on
lynda.com) I created a layout in photoshop and I also sliced it. I
imported it into dreamweaver (CS3 by the way).....I somewhat
understand what I am doing. I did all the defining a site and I
clicked on the content box that I sliced and deleted it and
inserted a div / added the image that go there, then I made that
area editable. The layout I imported I saved it as a
template.Anyway, so basically I am clicking on each sliced area,
deleting it, and inserting a div there. No problem. Now, the sliced
areas that has about, home, contact, etc.....those I needed to make
as links/clickable images. So, before performing the delete then
inserting a div part.....I first clicked on the sliced area then at
the bottom of the screen, where it says link, I did a point to
file, basically linked it. Now, when I preview it in the browser,
it displays boxes around the sliced navigation menu, which it is
nit suppose to. see here is a screen shot...
http://i36.tinypic.com/2eowewm.jpg
What did I do wrong? Why is it showing up in a table when I
didn't create it in a table? How can I remove that purple looking
table border?
Also, when I go to each of the sliced navigation menu, then
delete it and insert a div..... the image there...it will not let
me turn it into a link.
How do I turn my sliced navigation menu images into links. I
know I am doing something wrong but just don't know what it is. Is
there a code I can use or am I suppose to modify or insert
something? and how do I remove the box from around it?
What is an easy way? Is there a tutorial out there?
I want my layout to look like what I mocked up in photoshop.
Is there a way I can create the same layout in dreamweaver? The
problem isn't the background, it's trying to get the pink area in
the center of the lalayout. I didn't know how to do that so thats
why I tried the way of creating it in photoshop.
Please help

Importing Fireworks CC html into Dreamweaver CC

Hi guys. Hope you can assist.
I have never encountered this problem before. I have always used Fireworks to "cut up" my flat designs from Photoshop, export it as html (nav bars, footers, etc) and then I simply import it into a Dreamweaver html page in which I have created a table.
Now I suddenly have an issue where the Fireworks html table is broken once I import it into Dreamweaver - viewed by itself it's perfect - even in Dreamweaver its perfect. It also adds a space underneath the FW html/table.
Only when I view it in a browser does it appear messed up.
What is causing this?
Thanks in advance.

That looks like it could be the browser default text descender padding from the html5 doctype, and/or the IE linked image border.
Add the following to your css...
img {
display:block;
a img {
border:none;

Video is not scaling properly when importing a flv file into dreamweaver

Hi I have recently imported a flv video into dreamweaver and i have specified the width and height (including skin size) but i keep getting white margins at the bottom or the top of the video. It has nothing to do with the css because ive checked and when i change the size of the video in the html file it worked for some browers - google chrome, firefox but still had the white border on internet explorer. I dont understand why different browers are rendering a video width and height different and whats causing the white borders to be there in the first place. Can anyone help me with this?
I have spent two weeks trying to sort this out after failing to add a clickable thumbnail to play the video as the video image on the site is black which doesnt look very good. Is there any way that i can choose the thumbnail that flash player decides to feature for the video? I know you can do this with youtube videos.
website in question - www.juanajimenezflamenco.co.uk/videos.html

I just don't see any white border on the right hand videos... if the problem continues, post a screen shot of what you are seeing. Also, 250 x 199 is not a 4:3 aspect ratio... 250/4 = 62.5, 62.5x3= 187.5.... so you are off by 11 pixels or so. Correct height for a 250 wide video shot at 4:3 aspect ratio, is 188px.
Now on the left hand YouTube videos, the controls are under the video, not over the top of the video as the right hand videos are... so the height of the <object>.... not the video itself... the <object> needs to be tall enough to hold the video and the controls (video height + controls height).
And since you are working in standard 4:3 aspect ratio video, you need to be careful to select the correct pixel shape, square or rectangle when starting any video project. Your video editing program, Premiere Elements should allow you to select between square pixels (used in computer monitors) or rectangle pixels (used in TVs). Selecting the wrong shaped pixel at the very start of the video capture process can mean distorted video once you render the project.
Because TV pixels are rectangle, slightly taller than they are wide... it doesn't take as many rectangle TV pixels to equal the same height as square computor monitor pixels. For example, when you start a video project to output to DVD (TV viewing) you would choose rectangle pixels, so a 720 x 480 video dimensions would give you the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.... for TV.... but 720 x 480 is NOT a 4:3 aspect ratio mathmatically ... 720/4=180, 180x3=540 !! So for computer monitor viewing you would select square pixels at the very start of your video capture process and capture the video at 720x540, giving you the correct video aspect ratio for viewing on monitors.
So besides setting the correct aspect ratio for the video in the <object> be sure that you started with the correct pixel shape.
This might also give you some help... or just Google "square vs rectangle pixels" for more info:

Can I develop a site using Bootstrap and then import into Dreamweaver to update to the free Business Catalyst hosting?

Can hand generated code be imported into Dreamweaver in order to use the free hosting option?

BC provides you templates to use to modify and sell to a client. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be there. For example, the templates are offered when you go to create a new site. BC asks if you want to use a template, import a site, etc… so your analogy doesn’t apply in this situation.

How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?

Hi;
How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?
Developed a DBase application for a vertical market using MS Access. Worked on it for over a decade.
Have been in contact with a rather large company and we are talking about licensing my program with them.
BUT; they want it "On the Cloud"
Here is what needs to be accomplished. Ideally a user can log in from anywhere, (similar to on-line banking), enter data and print reports.
Read this a few days ago:
"If I were in your situation and felt that there's a growth market for your offerings, I would personally go with a PHP/MySQL-based model. The printing issue can be readily resolved with PDF-based output.
So the Querys, Forms and VBA Code needs to be brought in from MS Access to Dreamweaver.
Can this be done? Or is there a better way that I haven't learned yet?
Would someone be so kind and point me in the correct direction.
Thank You for taking the time to read this post.
Andy

>Can this be done?
No, not any way that I know of. You would need to completely rewrite this as a web application. Obviously the MS Access tables can be migrated to MySQL and the Access queries converted to views. But the forms and custom code needs to be written from scratch in html and your choice of server side programming language.

How do I import a website created using Frontpage into Dreamweaver

How do I import a website created using Frontpage into Dreamweaver?

Nothing to import. Simply define your local site folder in DW -- Site > New Site. Tell DW where to find your FP site files on your hard drive.
Under Servers, input your remote server's FTP log-in credentials and site Root Directory:
Some FP proprietary stuff like extensions will not work in Dreamweaver so you'll have a fair amount of code clean up ahead of you. Most people find it easier to just rebuild their site with DW.
Good luck!
