Inserting flash in Dreamweaver.

now I have seen tutorials over and over and I have done this
website 3 times now. I do the div's first at then I do make an
editable region and save the template. Then I do the pages.
Then I go to the left middle div to insert the flash (in the
template) and then save the template.
It asks me to update site.. I choose Entire site and library.
After that I check my pages... and the flash fil wont show..
It only shows in the template,
I have read some many website the my eyes almost pop out. So
now this forum is my last resort.
Why does the flash not show???
http://nilleagentur.dk/test/nilleagency/index.html
thank you in advance

i would think that you would just copy the code from the html
page that lightroom generates and paste it into a div on a page in
your existing site, no?
to know for sure, i would probably make sense for you to post
a link to your site and tell the community here where you want the
lightroom content to go.

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.

Insert Flash with Dreamweaver CS3 Question

So I have been building websites for awhile and have always relied on the built in insert flash object that came with dreamweaver as I have never had issues with it.
However as I finished a site recently the client had a friend look at it and brought up the red flag that the site was not w3 compliant. So I go and look at the little tool they have and the only error that comes up is related to the insertion of flash on the page.
I googled it a bit and found a number of people saying that the insert flash through dreamweaver will no show up as compliant. A couple solutions to fix the problem.
But before I go down that road, I want to ask. ...Does it really matter here? Seems like Dreamweaver insertion would be compliant? I mean come on the link that the w3 give to fix the problem is a link from a fix created in 2002.
I have never heard of anyone saying no the flash does not show up so right off I am not terribly concerned but it would be nice to know..
Also if it is important and suggestions as to a nice fix to the issue would be great.
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Right you are!
I tend to spot check pages and haven't done a W3C check on a flash embed in my websites (apparently). Just did one pursuant to your question. The page is 100% compliant without the Flash video. has 51 errors, 35 warnings with it. Lots of those errors are Adobe-generated Javascript that handles the flash video insert, skins it and so on.
Here is where Adobe may not be compliant with the W3C.

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.

Inserting Flash into Dreamweaver document question

When I insert a Flash swf into my Dreamweaver document, the flash file will be displayed in the same dimensions as it is on the flash file on every computer correct? So for example, if I insert a swf file that is 550 x 400 into my Dreamweaver, whether it is displayed on a computer with a 2000x1220 screen, or a 1270x800 screen, the swf file will aways be 550 x 400 (so on the 2000x1200, the swf will be much smaller). Basically I'm asking how do I make it so the flash swf is stretched to fit the entire page no matter what the resolution is?

The short answer is you can't. It's because of how images are handled. FLA native files are vector images. However, the animation/interaction itself when saved as a SWF file becomes rasterized, thus the image gets blurry the larger you make it. So if you make it bigger no matter how you save it, the image will become blurry. What you should do if you need to fill the background is create a repeating background image to put on your page behind the flash that will expand regardless of the resolution. With the repeating background the image is not stretched but rather printed on the screen over and over again making the effect that the image is stretched across the screen.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (.flv) File in Page Using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert Media Command

I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
"While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
with an OK button.
If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

Integrating a little Flash in 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.

It's the new IE functionality (introduced in the April 2006
patch update for
IE6 and made compulsory by the June 2006 patch update) to
comply with a
ruling against Microsoft's patent infringement.
It's triggered by the <object>, <embed> and
<applet> tags on a page. Flash
is normally imported into a page via the <embed> tag
hence it's affected by
the change. Content imported into a webpage by these methods
is known as
Active Content and now requires an extra click to activate it
and interact
with it.
The workaround ultimately rests with website designers who
are now advised
by Microsoft and Adobe etc to implement the controls for
Active Content in
their sites indirectly via Javascript rather than direct HTML
tags.
If you have DW8, the 8.0.2 updater will insert Flash with
Adobe's
recommended Active Content fix already included in the code.
With any other
version of DW, you'll have to do it manually.

Can only select English font when insert flash media

I am using Windows XP SP2 Chinese version and installed
Macromedia Studio 8, but I found a big problem when I using
Dreamweaver 8. When I insert flash media by (Insert -> Media
-> Flash Text or Flash Button), I cannot select Chinese font.
But if I insert general text, I can select chinese font.
Please help me to fix the problem. Thank a lot.

Flash media works only with TrueType fonts. This restriction
applies to
all languages, including English.

Inserting flash into HTTP

I have been trying to insert flash file but I keep getting error messages that
Not Found
The requested URL /annimations/Snow.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I firstly publish flash into both swf and http files.
Then, I opened view source of the http file and pasted the code onto the dreamwaever file.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0" width="700" height="500" id="Snow" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
<param name="movie" value="Snow.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <embed src="Snow.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="700" height="500" name="Snow" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
In addition, I deleted code that swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) on the http file.
The dreamweaver gave an error message that the code swfobject.registerObject(FlashID) can cause error when downloading the flash.
Finally all http, swf and flash files were uploaded.
But I still got the error message above.
In the past, I managed to upload flash using the method above, although I did not get any message regarding swfobject.registerObject(FlashID).
Could someone help me and point out what went wrong?

Based on the error message the problem has to do with an html file, not an swf file.

Inserted .flv into Dreamweaver messes CSS

When I insert a Flash move (.flv) in my website (using Dreamweaver CS3) it messes upu my div boxes and all my webpage collapses. I tried to get rid of some div boxes to check if my CSS causes problems, however after inserting .flv my div boxes that contains this file shrink/collapse.
Here are URL with the web page without inserted flash move and others URLs with inserted flash move and deleted some of div boxes.

My, but you do like JavaScript, don't you?
I can't spend much time in the JS, but for some reason the navigation.js in http://www.k-state.edu/elp/lab/BookReviews_7.html is adding KSU_twoColumn to your body tag so that it comes out as
<body class="KSU_fixed KSU_left1 KSU_twoColumn">
Which results in the margin-right property of KSU_maincontent to 0 by re-writing it thusly:
body.KSU_twoColumn div#KSU_mainContent {
margin-right:0;
Now, I have no idea why navigation.js doesn't do that for http://www.k-state.edu/elp/lab/BookReviews_7A.html as well. In there, your <body> stays as:
<body class="KSU_fixed KSU_left1">
And the KSU_maincontent properties stay as defined in the CSS:
div#KSU_mainContent {
margin-right:190px;
margin-top:0;
padding:16px 25px 20px 20px;
I don't understand the need to complicate simple CSS with JavaScript appending the classes, but if Jeff Croft (author of the class appender function in navigation.js) is still available to you, I recommend asking him for help.

Controlling Flash in Dreamweaver

Hello all,
Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this problem!
I am building a page in Dreamweaver 4.0 and adding a large
Flash movie (using Flash 5.0) which I want to start by clicking or
mousing over a smaller image elsewhere on the page. However when
viewing in Firefox, the movie starts off as soon as I load the
page, rather than when I mouse over the image that is being used to
start the big movie. It works in IE 7 but not in Firefox. Is there
a piece of code I need for Firefox.
I have followed the directions for Controlling Shockwave or
Flash within (Dreamweaver as follows:
1 Choose Insert > Media > Shockwave or Insert >
Media > Flash to insert a Shockwave or Flash movie,
respectively.
2 Choose Window > Properties and enter a name for the
movie in the upper leftmost field (next to the Shockwave or Flash
icon). You must name the movie to control it with the Control
Shockwave or Flash action.
3 Select the item you want to use to control the Shockwave or
Flash movie. For example, if you have an image of a "Play" button
that will be used to make the movie play, select that image.
4 Open the Behaviors panel (Window > Behaviors).
5 Click the Plus (+) button and choose Control Shockwave or
Flash from the Actions pop-up menu.
A parameters dialog box appears.
6 Choose a movie from the Movie pop-up menu.
Dreamweaver automatically lists the names of all Shockwave
and Flash movies in the current document. (Specifically,
Dreamweaver lists movies with file names ending in .dcr, .dir,
.swf, or .spl that are in object or embed tags.)
7 Choose to play, stop, rewind, or go to a frame in the
movie. The Play option plays the movie starting from the frame
where the action occurs.
8 Click OK.
9 Check that the default event is the one you want.
If it isn't, choose another event from the pop-up menu. If
the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in
the Show Events For submenu of the Events pop-up menu.
I have followed all these directions, but the big movie
starts playing as soon as I load the page, rather than waiting
until I mouse over/click on the small jpg below. I have even added
the <param name=play value=false> to the big movie code to no
avail. I am viewing the site on Firefox.
Here is my code for the large movie:
<td width="380" height="280" valign="top"><object

How do I maintain responsive scaling on an edge animate animation when I insert it into dreamweaver?

How do I maintain responsive scaling on an edge animate animation when I insert it into dreamweaver? Please and thank you!

example.com is a generic http:// address to illustrate the difference between what you gave, file:/// and an actual URL address. There are no tutorials on that site. Sorry for the confusion.
#1 Have you procured your domain name and web hosting yet? You'll need to do that to publish your pages online.
#2 When you sign-up for web hosting, the company will send you FTP log-in credentials to your site's web server. You will enter this info into your DW Site Definition. Site > New Site > See screenshots below:
Under Servers: Root Directory is whatever your hosting company tells you to use. This varies by web host. Some commonly used ones are public_html, www or htdocs.
After your site definition is set-up, hit the TEST button to confirm it's working. If it's not connecting, go to More Options.
Go to the Files Panel (F8). Use the UP Arrow to PUT files to remote server.
Use the DOWN Arrow to GET files from server to your local site folder.
Post back when you have finished uploading your work to the remote server.

Insert Flash 6_and_over in Keynote 3.0

I want to insert flash animation in my presentation within the Keynote application ! I've already activate the Flash content in Quicktime... is doesn't work !!!
I heard that quicktime just run the flash 5 files and older versions. Is it possible to run flash 6,7,8,9 and others ??
If it's not possible, is there a way to convert my swf files in flash 5 files ?
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions, gabriel_parent.
You would have to own a copy of Macromedia Flash in order to open those files and resave as the older version.
