Inserting a Flash Movie with Dreamweaver

I'm trying to insert a .swf file into my html using
Dreamweaver8. I go to inset-media-flash video, browse to my file
enter the width and height and click ok, and I receive this warning
everytime: "The URL cannot contain spaces or specal charaters.
Change hte path or file name and try again." The file is located in
my main directory of the website, and the file is titled
clienttv.swf. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, This file is a television commercial buit in avid and
compressed in squeeze, but I don't have the .flv file, only a .swf
file.
Is there a way to convert my .swf to .flv, or is there a way
to add a skin to my .swf file so that I have the movie controls
(play/pause, stop)?
thanks,
nofx1728

Thank you for helping me!

Integrating Lightroom Flash Gallery with Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unsuccessfully attempting to edit the gallery files created by Lightroom from within Dreamweaver. The index.html file comes up with this message when opened:
Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed. Download the Macromedia Flash Player
However, I have the player installed...
I have tried uploading the files directly to my server from Lightroom but they do not display. The loading icon whirls endlessly and never resolves.
Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.

You can't edit a flash gallery with Dreamweaver.
To make changes to the LR flash gallery you would require a copy of the original fla file and a copy of Flash to edit it.
The index file you see is the one that loads the flash player to play your gallery. The message is what is seen in a browser that doesn't have flash player installed.
You can make amendments to the gallery itself by changing the xml files, although the changes you can make here can also be made in LR itself so why bother?
You can embed the gallery itself in your own html page. Using insert, media and then finding the gallery.swf file. As long as you then upload everything in the correct locations (including the scrippt files abd the new html file in the same folder structure it will work.
There are other flash galleries that are far easier to embed available. However in order to make serious changes to flash galleries of any type you will require the original fla file and most designers are not going to give you that! Adobe does give away the fla's for the galleries that ship with PS.

I cant centre flash movie in dreamweaver

I am currently building my 2nd half flash site http://www.network3000ltd.co.uk/
i am unable to centre the flash movie in dreamweaver
i managed to do it easily in my first site http://www.contemporary-design.co.uk/
im a complete newbie to flash and html as well as css but hopefully someone will have a simple explanation to this
thanks in advance for any assistance

Try using div and centering tags surrounding the Flash embedding code...
<div align="center">
<center>
Flash code
</center>
</div>

Centering a flash movie within Dreamweaver cs3 on Y axis

I have published a movie in Flash cs3 which has generated an html document however the Flash movie is not automatically centered I have attempted to centrally align the movie within Dreamweaver cs3 by adding:
<center> after the opening body tag and </center> befor the closing body tag
This method has centered on the X axis but not the Y axis
I would have put in a table or a div tag, but when I open the html doc in Dreamweaver I have no visible repressentation of the Flash movie in the design view as I would have if I had created an html document from scratch and draged the movie onto the page, all I can see is the "get flash" hypertext and some other text. I did actually experiment by creating a div tag and dragged my movie into it but ended up with two movies one sitting on top of the other when I ran it in a browser lol. I'm quite intimdated by code and much prefer to work in the design view (wysiwyg and all that) which is quite restricting.
Any advice for centering on the Y axis would be much apreciated, Thanks in advance, Dave

I don't believe there is code to prevent this from happening
on a client computer. The default is enabled my Microsoft, what
should happen is a yellow bar should appear at the top of the
browser which will allow you view the content.
What might work is to use a program called Zinc by a company
call Multidmedia Limited www.multidmedia.com. Search the site for
samples, one of the samples is a Flash Browser this will run Flash
a browser that you can use. You will need to change the URL a bit
in the Flash code but it's very clear on how to do this.
What this will do is run your web site in a Flash browser I
did a quick test and I did not get any errors. The program will
create an EXE file. I also believe they have a MAC version if you
need one. With a simple "Autorun" call on the CD-ROM you could have
this up and running in not time.
Just be careful of how you call the pages. Since the web site
is not running from a Web server you need to make sure that your
links are local and not Site Root. The best way to test is to
disconnect your computer from your internet and see how it runs.
You want the CD to be self-contained and not have to get content
from the web (your end user may be on a laptop and not connected).
Good Luck

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

Hi BalusC, i have saved the datamodel (a ArrayList) in SessionBean. It can't be null. The rows of table display correct. I don't understand, why functions buttons with ObjectArrayDataProvider, but not with ObjectListDataProvider?
I found a page with same problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=549675&tstart=30

BPM Workspace can't display the flash movie with IE

Hi
We have the following problem, we have a BPM project with a flash screen, when we execute the project in the workspace of BPM studio we can see the Flash, but when we published the project in BPM Enterprise , the workspace can't display the flash movie, it just display the panel without buttons and fields. This happen just in Internet Explorer, in other browsers we can see the flash.
Any idea or solution ??
Thanks in advance

Actually, I got it working now...
It seems that I have to have all the files in the same folder
as the page it displays on!
Historically I would dump a standard flash clip (not a
converted movie with buttons) into the /images folder.
I tested this intitally in a /video folder (just to keep all
the files in one place) which would display the clip but not the
buttons but as soon as I moved the files in the same directory as
the page itself (which is the main index.html) it worked fine!
So if anyone does read this is there a reason for that as I
would like to keep everything in separate folders!
Cheers, J

Masking entire flash movie with setMask() ?

Hi,
I have a long linear flash presentation with many scenes. Besides web playback my clients asked for a standalone projector file as well. Upon making it full screen with FS command during playback, initial off stage area elements are visible when they animate into the stage on widescreen monitors...for example text moving in from left. I don't want to mask every layer in over thirty something scenes...is there an easier way by applying a mask in actionscript to the movie itself? I know setMask() works for movieclips but is there a way to apply the setMask() method to the entire presentation in AS2 because the following did not seem to work:
_root.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); or _level0.setMask(stageMaskShapeMC); ?
Thanks,
Attila

Ok, I have figured it out. The code works but in order to call the MC from the library as a mask it has to be used with the attachedMovie function first to make it appear on the stage. So the following works if the linkage is set up under the mask MC properties in the library:
_level0.attachMovie("StageShapeMC", "stageMask", 30000 ,{_x:0, _y:0});
_level0.setMask(stageMask);

How do I embed flash movie with detection

Hi - I want to embed a movie below a banner image in a web
page. I want to use flash detection so that the right player is
used. I've got Flash professional 8 so it spits out an HTML page
with the flash detection script written to it. In the body section
of the HTML is a <script> tag with the document.write called
if the detection is succesful. What I've tried to do is put my
banner image in a div above the script tag. This seems to work in
Firefox but gives me a tiny little stretched banner image and a
tiny little stretched flash movie when I try the page in IE7.
I've attached my HTML below. Why is this happening?

I found the answer - I was using dynamic positioning of
elements in a javacript file and was using
document.documentElement.clientHeight to get the clientheight. IE7
no longer recognises this and has started using the standards
compliant document.body.clientHeight.

How do I center my flash movie in dreamweaver

Hi!!
I currently have a behavior assigned to a slice I made in
imageready. In dreamweaver I assigned a pop up browser
window to it...it will be a link to a flash movie(.swf) I
made, but I don't know how to alter the code to make the browser
window centered on the screen!! Right now it opens on the top of
the screen.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!!

Thanks Gorka,
I looked it up and found this useful summary:
http://probertson.com/articles/2006/12/14/deep-linking-flash-application-states/
However, I'm now trying to figure out how write the flahs
vars so it can see what section / folder the page is in so that the
swf knows to play the same frames for both
swinsidelodge-hotel.co.uk/pages/hotel/awards.php and
swinsidelodge-hotel.co.uk/pages/hotel/guest-comments.php. So
basically it doesn't look at the last bit of the url but the first
bit... I would like the flash vars to be dynamic so that when the
client adds a new subpage in one of the sections the swf will still
know which frames to play.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Konrad

Playing different flash movies with Javascript

I've been researching this on the web to no avail so I figured I would post.
I am developing a homepage similar to http://www.extractable.com/
I have several different areas of text, which when you hover over them, I would like a different flash movie to play. I have created this using pictures (example of one piece of the code is below), but want to increase the flashyness with, well, flash
      if (obj.id =="txtHolderPrograms")
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").style.filter="blendTrans(duration=.5)";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Apply();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").src = "PMDO.png";
      document.getElementById("imgLargePicture").filters.blendTrans(duration=.5).Play();
      document.getElementById("imgLargePictureHREF").href = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
I have a div where I want the different movies to play in. What is the best way to get the different flash files? Keep in mind that extractable site is doing just about exactly what I want to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can't tell how you have things set up between the title of your posting and what you say to explain the problem. What are you calling pages? How do the pageselate to the 2 flash file in the doc you mention?

Problem dreamweaver to insert swf flash movie cs6

when i isert in dreamweaver a movie created in flash cs6, i push the bottom of play for preview only show a white frame, the action no have. somebody have the solution plese share. Thanks

I don't see anything obvious in the code, unless there is an issue with the paths. For example, the following path is not likely to be correct:
../../../web140/sitedesigns/bradley/assets/audio/test.swf
But it is impossible to know for certain without seeing the page in its normal location. If you upload the files, including the dependent files, to a Web server we would be in a better position to help you.

Problems inserting flash movies with DW CS 3

I just started playing with DW CS3 and I got a feeling I'm
doing something wrong here but when I go place a Flash SWF in a
Dreamweaver HTML page the Flash portion of the page is not showing
up when the site is placed on a sever and looked at over the net,
I've tested it on a couple of PC's now so I'm pretty sure its not
the brower messing up.
Now’s here’s the crazy thing. When I preview the
page from DW CS3 the flash elements are coming up just fine!
They look like there is some kind of auto swfObject attached
to them cause of the removal of the "click here to activate this
control" message.
I've been using Dreamweaver 8 as a work around but this
seems really strange to me any one got any ideas on what’s
going on here?
Thx for the help
John

Certain flash movies will not play - including Adobe TV movies with Dreamweaver tutorials

For months, certain .swf movies will not play. No error, won't even load the player. I thought it was because of IE8 which I installed several months ago. Now I loaded Firefox and Opera and the movies still do not play in those browsers either. At least I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference".
I have newly installed Dreamweaver CS4 and when I launch it, there are links to Adobe TV videos. These will not play. Here is an example of a video that will not play: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/
I have googled the error but the results seem to be developers talking about code in Action Script 3.
Can someone please help? I have spent hours trying to get this resolved.
My Flash Player version is 10,0,45,2 and I had the issue when I was at 10,0,32 whatever as well.

Ya, it's a very old post. This forum actually has a very high response rate (more than 90%+) thanks to people like Pat, Carl and Xircal who volunteer their time and knowledge to help the community.

Opening a flash movie in dreamweaver

Hello, I am a professional photographer and I am trying to
open a flash image viewer automatically created in Lightroom using
the airtight image view. The viewer creates a top folder named
simple viewer and two sub folders. one with images and one with
thumbnails. It also creates a javascript file, an index.html,
gallery.xml, and a viewer.swf. I have placed this entire heirarchy
in my assets folder in my dreamweaver web page structure. When I
double click on the swf inside the assets folder of dreamweaver the
viewer works fine. If I drag the swf to an html page I get "simple
viewer gallery not found". I know this is just a structure problem
but I cannot figure out how to fix it. Can anyone point me to
someone that I can call to get some help on how to fix this. I am
willing to pay consulting fees.
Thank you
Jim

<If I drag the swf to an html page I get "simple viewer

DW is not a drag and drop application.
1) Keep it simple. Keep the 'Simple Viewer' folder in the
root directory of
your local site because that's how the thing was put
together. When you
move folders into other folders, you complicate matters.
2) I think for this purpose, it would be OK for you to use an
iframe to call
the 'Simple Viewer' index.html into your site page.
