Inserting Flash in DW 8.0.2

I am trying to insert a flash file into my webpage using the
update in DW8 that is supposed to automatically convert the tags to
work in IE so the user doesn't have to activate the Flash content
first. When I go to insert the flash onto my html page DW asks me
if I want to convert the tags to browser safe scripts. I click yes.
I preview it and the Flash content shows up. I upload the page to
my server and the only thing that shows up on the page are the 2
html links outside the flash object ....No Flash. Any suggestions
on what I am doing wrong?

You probably didn't upload the scripts folder and file that
are necessary to
run the thing. Upload again and click yes to dependent files.
Then verify
that you have a scripts folder with a file in it on 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.

CSS Help! Inserting flash into a div has caused layout change

Hi,
I am trying to insert flash into a div. I'm new to CSS so I
think I must be doing something wrong. As soon as I insert the
flash the layout goes wrong and all divs below it are pushed down
out of my "main" div. I've now taken the flash.swf out and inserted
an image again, but it's still wrong. It previews fine in the
browser though.
Any ideas!?

No Insert Flash dialog box in PPT files with links to Word

Presenter will not display the "Insert Flash (swf)" dialog box in PowerPoint presentations that have slides linked to a Word document.
It works fine in PPT presentations that do not have the links to Word.
I need to import a SWF in the presentation as well as have Word link to the slides in PPT.
Is there a solution?

The solution was to install a later version of Presenter. It works now.

Insert Flash not working in Presenter 7.0

Hi
I've been using Presenter for a while without any problems. I've recently had to install the Tech Comms Suite (2.0) onto a new laptop though and now I cant insert flash into my slides. All that happens is that the systems moves focus to any of my other windows.
Anyone out there help?
I'm using Office 2003, XP and full Tech Comms Suite v2
Nick.

I think I found a fix.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=153&platform=Windows
Even though the Adobe updater said I had the most up-to-date version of the software it was lieing. I had to go and apply all patches from 7.0.1 onwards. This seems to now allow me to insert flash again.
Thanks for the posts and I hope Adobe sort this app out, not being compatible with Captivate 5 or AS3 is not good.
Regards,
Nick.

Inserting Flash movies

I often insert .swf files in my html pages however, lately I
have been trying to insert flash movies in the middle of a bunch of
text. I do something similar with and then, using the property
inspector's align dialog box, I either set the image to be on the
right, the left, or one of the other options. By doing that, the
image looks the way I want it to with the text wrapping around it.
I see that the same type of options appear in the property
inspector when I insert a .swf file but I don't get the desired
result as I do with images. The only way I can fake the look I want
is by putting the flash movie in it's own cell in a table and
breaking up the text above,below or next to the movie the best way
that I can but this is not reliable and I sometimes end up with too
much white space. Is there a parameter I need to set or a style to
add to the swf object? I'd appreciate any suggestions.Thank
you.

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.

Update for Insert Flash Video command

I looked at DW for the very first time, having recently
upgraded all my hardware and software. I now have the full Master
Collection - very exciting. Opened DW with great trepidation after
a lifetime with my beloved GoLive and was confronted with the
strong recommendation to do an update to protect against
insecurities arising with the Insert Flash Video Command.
Eventually I printed out the instructions provided in the technote
and followed them to the letter. All went well until the
verification stage. The technote tells me that the updated files
should have a creation date of 15th January 2008. Mine was 9th
January. I just want to know if this matters? Do I need to repeat
the whole procedure as the instructions tell me I should if the
files are not updated. In fact they have updated but just not to
the correct date. And why should it turn out any differently if I
do it again? I am puzzled.
I have obviously never used the Insert Flash video command
since I've never even used DW itself so maybe I didn't even need to
do the update at all in the first place anyway. But I thought I'd
better, in case I used the command at some time in the future,
although the possibility of me using something so technical seems
remote at this stage. (I am yet to learn Flash.)
I updated both DW and Contribute as suggested in spite of not
even knowing what Contribute is for yet.

The "Security Update Available" still shows on my welcome
screen, even after updating it.

Insert flash video? Won't play

Any tips on inserting Flash video into a project in Captivate 4?
I can get video to appear an play in Preview, but after publishing, the video doesn't appear and the slide forwards.
(Also, there seems to be a conssitent problme where preview is inaccurate.)

The videos are in the same folder as the project, and they appear in the published folder.
Tried path 2 ways:
myvideo.flv
/myvideo.flv
Neither made a difference.
There are 3 videos on this slide --- could that be a problem?

Mac Install Issues: Please Insert Flash CS4??

I just purchased and downloaded PSE6 to replace my old version, which was 4.0. Well, I started the installation and got a message to insert Adobe Flash CS4. I don't have Flash installed. I had the trial a long time ago, but I uninstalled it. So at the advice of other pages I found on google, I downloaded and ran the Adobe CS4 cleaner script, but it informed me that I had no CS4 installations.
I don't know why the installer is insisting that I insert Flash CS4 when it isn't even on my computer. Since I don't have a Flash disc, the only thing I can think of is downloading the Flash trial DMG, but I'd rather not if there is a simpler solution.
Here's the error I get: http://img.skitch.com/20090402-n9attpcr2d5pf5dma8hu7dukcp.png

You need to run the cleanscript again.

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.

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

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?
maylandmac

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.

Inserting Flash into Breeze

I finally started getting comfortable with Breeze and
publishing to the web. But now I wanted to insert an .MOV. I ran it
through Flash to convert it to .swf and put a skin on it. Then I
used 'Insert Flash' from the Adobe Presenter menu. It works fine
when I viewed it using slide show, but when I published it to my
computer the .swf slide came up with a small flashing symbol and
the movie never appeared.
When I sent the ppt to a friend who has the same programs he
could not even view it with slide show.
I am using Flash version 9 from Adobe CS3 and Powerpoint
2003.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Winegrapes

Winegrapes,
When you convert your file to SWF do it to Flash Player 6 or
7. This should solve the problem.
Also, getting presenter 6.1 may help

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.
