2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will

3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what

4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

Problems inserting flash buttons in CS3

I used to be able to do this but it's not working like it had
been.
When I go to insert a flash button using the built-in styles,
it gives me a source that is "undefined" and does not create the
SWF file of the button. This happens on a site that is already
using these buttons and a new website I created to test it out.
I'm on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.6, Dreamweaver CS3.
Any insight would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Are you really set on using Flash buttons? You understand
that there are
many good reasons not to?

Inserting Flash Video Error

I am using CS3 and trying to insert a .flv file that is on a
remote server and I keep getting this error:
/Scripts/ - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder
/Scripts/. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be
a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on
the server and the server is properly configured.
Scripts\AC_RunActiveContent.js - user cancelled
The file exists and I have permission to access it. I can't
figure our why because I can upload the .mp3 files that are in the
same folder as the .flv file without a problem.

Thanks in advance for your help!

When you insert flash into DW pages, DW creates a folder for
you in the root
called Scripts with the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in it.
This JavaScript
enables ActiveX content to run without sending up nag alerts
to visitors.
Since your web page is looking for this file, you need to
upload the Scripts
folder to your server.

Flash buttons in dreamweaver 8

Hi,
i am having a problem with inserting flash button in
dreamweaver 8, when i insert the buttons it appears on the page as
a grey box with "F"(flash) and not displaying the proper text. The
user is a standard windows users and has not administrator
privilidges. but if an administrator loggs into the pc and does the
exact same process then the flash button work.
has anyone come across this problem ? does anyone know how to
resolve
cheers
david

You'll need to go back into Flash and build the links into the buttons before you create the swf's. Look in the Flash help docs regarding the getURL function as far as the code you'll need for linking. If you have problems, post in the Flash AS1 and AS2 forum.
Beyond that, don't be surprised if some feedback arises here regarding using Flash buttons.

Flash buttons don't work

I created my template in Dreamweaver and 9 other pages from
the template. Now I inserted flash buttons in the original template
and linked them to all other pages. Buttons work in the original
template but not in any of other pages, even though I updated the
pages with all the changes. What am I doing wrong??? I am losing my
mind here.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Flash buttons don't work in any real sense of the word,
anyhow. Why are you
using them?
If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
This problem is due to the fact that you are placing the
buttons into a
Template file. In this case, and assuming you want to inherit
all the
problems, make the links to the buttons ROOT RELATIVE.

Flash button in a frameset

Hi, I'm a novice to Dreamweaver/webdeveloping.
I have a simple site with a 3 frame frameset. I have flash
buttons in the leftframe openining the links in the mainframe. Well
But when I test it in a browser (Safari) The button opens the link
in a new window, not the mainframe. If I use hyperlinks they work,
they open the link in the mainframe. Any ideas why this is.
Another quick question, Has anyone had problems running under
rosetta or at all. When I'm in the "Insert Flash Button" screen
when clicking on the target drop down menu, the program gets stuck
and won't let me leave the "Insert Flash Button" screen. this has
happened twice only.

Best practice methods suggest a) that you only use frames
when you have a
need to use them, and b) that you not use Flash for
navigation unless you
cannot accomplish your purpose with other methods, and unless
you also
provide plain-HTML redundant navigation.
Frames extract a penalty on you as the developer, and on your
site visitor,
that neither of you may be interested in paying. That being
the case, it is
incumbent on you as the developer to make a considered
decision to use them,
not just because they seemed easier. To find out about the
many problems
that come with deciding to use frames, go here -
http://apptools.com/rants/framesevil.php
http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/frames/
Using Flash for navigation without redundant navigation
methods eliminates
the use of your pages for the following classes of visitors -
1. Those who do not have the Flash plugin installed (and
there are some)
2. Those who use a screen assistive device for surfing
3. Search engine spiders - meaning that your site will not be
ranked
In addition, you create a maintenance problem for yourself if
your linked
file ever gets renamed or moved. Again "it seemed simpler" is
not a good
reason to use Flash navigation.
All of these considerations dramatically affect your
questions below. I
will not address them until we hear further from you.

My Flash Button

Hi,
I made a flash button with a simple rollover animation
(&sound) and I pasted a swf. in both flash buttons and flash
buttons preview in Flash Objects in the Dreamweaver application.
But I can't see it when I go insert- flash button in DW. Now, my
swf file says SWF file whereas the others say SWF movie, is this
the problem? I'm exporting as movie, how else would I go about?
Would be so grateful for help.
Thank you.

Error message when inserting built in flash buttons

Anyone help point me to a solution?
Previously worked fine - but now a problem. When wanting to
either add or edit existing flash buttons, all I get is "Error
unknown" - no ref ID to help me.
In the html editor window - I can no longer see the flash
buttons. They have been replaced with the greyed flash icons. The
flash functionality has just disappeared for some reason?
I run mac os x - and have the current MX 2004 upgraded
version 7.01
I've reloaded MX 2004 - but no good.
Any ideas anyone please?
BTW - I'm not an expert by any means - but just baffled and
frustrated!

Alan
Thanks for the pointer I will scan all of the code in the
morning for non-standard characters.
I do not see any with firs scan but I did change the path to
all of the files whan I moved the data to a new disc.
I went through DW and reset the paths in the site menus and
had it recreate the file map and the cache.
I did not get any errors for that process but that does not
involve the Java interpeter;-)
I will post the results later EITHER positive or negative.

trips up on the character and can't resolved the path to the

so it doesn't create Flash Text or Flash Buttons and gives an

And will give constant nags that "the selected homepage is

please do this.
open a new dw document using File->new

type some text, select it, and using the property inspector's

view the code, copy the link code and paste into reply.

Flash Button insert error

Hi
I currently using dreamweaver 8 on a new macbook. When I want
to insert a flash button to page I get the following message :
IDS_ERR_UNABLETOCREATEVM. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix
this? I've exhausted all avenues!

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate
internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will
not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
You will have
to remake those buttons.
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons - and for
these reasons,
Adobe has removed Flash buttons and Flash text from the next
version of
Dreamweaver.
Also, since you replied to a very old post, many of us have
no idea what
your symptoms are. Care to repeat them?
But the best solution is to not use Flash in this way.

Unknown error when inserting Flash text [was: Error]

When I try to insert Flash text into a document, I keep getting an error message that says "Unknown error". What should I do? I'm taking a class online and we happen to be covering this feature.

After nearly ripping my eyeballs out and chucking my laptop out the window, I finally fixed the problem!
For some reason I didn't have a CMaps folder in my Adobe - Common Files - Font folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\CMaps
So I made the "CMaps" folder and copied and pasted the files "Identity-H" and "Identity-V" from an "Adobe Reader" CMap folder, and now I can save text in an *.ai file with PDF Compatibility checked.
It's pretty strange Illustrator was working for 2 years without this folder, and now all the sudden it needed it. Also, this is a very obscure fix.
Hopefully the programmers at Adobe have fixed these bugs in newer versions.
