Inserting Flash in Template

I created a template and an editable region within <td>
tags. Once I create a document from this template I am able to
insert text and images but when I try to add flash video I get an
error saying that inserting the flash would require changing locked
code. How do I solve this?
Thanks

You will have to create a new 'dummy' document, insert the
Flash on it, and
then copy -
a) the link to the external js file from the head, and paste
it into the
editable region in the head of your child page
b) the Flash markup, and paste it into the desired location
in the body of
the child page

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!?

Embedding Flash in Templates

When Flash is inserted into my template the following code
appears:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0',
'width','1024',
'height','120',
'src','../floating_balloons/floating_balloons',
'quality','high',
'pluginspage','
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash',
'movie','../floating_balloons/floating_balloons' );
//end AC code
</script>
This code is part of a template page which will be used to
generate others in my site. When I save the template page it asks
to update those pages which use this template and I allow this. But
the
movie and
src parameters don't get their paths updated correctly. They
continue to point to the locations which are correct for the
template but not the pages they support.
What should I do to correct this problem so that these paths
are
automatically updated in future?

This problem is evidently a known "bug" in DreamWeaver. You
can read more about it
here. Unfortunately this has
been around since version 8 and is still not fixed.

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.

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.

Flash button template

Dreamweaver CS3 uses flash button templates to insert buttons
where you can add behaviour like linking to other pages.
The button templates are quite ugly so I would like to use my
own style. In Flash CS3 however, you cannot publish or save as a
flash template.
Therefore I have to add the behaviour in the button itself
and than bring it on stage.
As I have at least 20 pages with forward and backwards
buttons (I develop online training with Captivate, Flash and
Dreamweaver) that means 40 different buttons for each online
module!
There must be a simpler solution, I hope.
Can anybody help?

Why use Flash buttons at all?
> There must be a simpler solution, I hope.
As far as I know, this is the only way to do it.

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!
GAB.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

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.

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.

Flash Quiz Template HELP Please!

Flash Gallery Template not working as expected

I am very new to Flash and barely know ActionScript. I have created a flash gallery using the in built template in Flash8, which works fine. The gallery forms part of my gallery page of a separate SWF flash site. I load the gallery using a loder component. Since the gallery navigation works by targeting the root folder, my site gets screwed up. The question is, how do i modify the ActionScript in the gallery.fla file (flash inbuilt template), so that once loaded into the main site, it doesnt target the root timeline, but targets its own timeline i.e. the gallery's own timeline. I hope i'm making sense?
Please see below for the code in the Flash Gallery. PS: I didnt write the code - its inbuilt into the template:
function updateFrame (inc) {
// send slides to new frame
newFrame = _level1._currentFrame + inc;
_level1.gotoAndStop(newFrame);
updateStatus();
if (_level1._currentFrame == 1) {
prevBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
prevBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
if (_level1._currentFrame == _level1._totalFrames) {
nextBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
nextBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
function updateStatus () {
_level1.statusField = _level1._currentFrame + " of " + _level1._totalFrames;
function autoplayInit () {
startTime = getTimer();
hideControls();
updateStatus();
function autoplay () {
if (autoplayStatus != 0) {
// get the current time and elapsed time
curTime = getTimer();
elapsedTime = curTime-startTime;
// update timer indicator
indicatorFrame = int(4/(delay/(elapsedTime/1000)));
indicator.gotoAndStop(indicatorFrame+1);
// if delay time if met, goto next photo
if (elapsedTime >= (delay*1000)) {
   if (_level1._currentframe == _level1._totalframes) {
    _level1.gotoAndStop(1);
   } else {
    _level1.nextFrame();
   autoplayInit();
function hideControls () {
nextBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
prevBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
updateFrame();
autoplayStatus = 0;

use this._lockroot=true in your template.

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.

Edited Flash Website Template Won't Accept Changes When Published.

Hi, All,
I didn't think this was going to be so difficult. After I purchased and downloaded a "complete flash website template" file from the internet, I uploaded the file into my local_site file and then into Dreamweaver 8
The template included files called Flash.swf, Flash.fla, FlashMX2004.swf and FlashMX2004.fla.
I have been able to customize the flash files in Flash 8 and import them back into Dreamweaver8 but when I publish the site, the changes will not take effect in Dreamweaver8 or on the internet webpage.
I've had this project since September and I've read as much as I could read! (...both in Dreaweaver8 and Flash8)
There is obviously something that I keep overlooking. Am I suppose to be changing something else in addition to the .swf and .fla files?
HELP!
www. freelanceshoot.com
Thanks in advance.

The fla file is what you edit and then you publish it to a swf file. The swf file is what you upload to your webserver.
Are you publishing the fla file and then uploading? If yes, then you may want to double check the location to where you are uploading to make sure that the html page is also pointing to the same location.

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.

Inserting authorizations from template

Hi all,
Does anyone know what are the basic authorizations needed for reporting and planning activities. I do not mean the basic analysis authorizations - I mean the basis authorizations - those you usually insert from a template such as S_RS_TREPU.

Hi,
you don't have to use:
S_RS_ICUBE
S_RS_ICUBE
S_RS_ISET
S_RS_MPRO
S_RS_ODSO
Because you have to set at less one authorization with the following authorization IO:
0TCAACTVT
0TCAIPROV
0TCAVALID
Don't forget:
S_DEVELOP
S_RO_BCTRA in ECC side for activate (remote) Datasource
S_RS_BITM NEW
S_RS_BTMP NEW
S_USER_AGR
S_RS_BC
S_RS_BCS
S_RS_AUTH (Data)
S_RS_IOBJ
S_GUI
S_RS_DS: Authorizations for working with the DataSource or its sub-objects (as
of SAP NetWeaver 2004s)
&#56256;&#56452; S_RS_ISNEW: Authorizations for working with new InfoSources or their subobjects
(as of SAP NetWeaver 2004s)
&#56256;&#56452; S_RS_DTP: Authorizations for working with the data transfer process and its subobjects
&#56256;&#56452; S_RS_TR: Authorizations for working with transformation rules and their subobjects
