Inserting Flash into Dreamweaver Site

Hi,
I have 3 swf files that I am trying to insert into my DW CS3
site. I go Insert>Media>Flash and the files insert. When I
preview in browser - the page comes up with the swf files as blank
white boxes. I have a Ac_RunActiveContent.js file that maybe I'm
not putting in the right place....????? Help! I'm so close to
launching this site but can't figure out how to make the swf images
appear in the browser....
thanks in advance for any help!

do a find in source, and find this:

change to:

In the Javascript call, the path is to go Up one folder

the correct path is used in the <noscript> call,

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.

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.

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 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.

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!?

How do I insert Fireworks Slideshow (non flash) into Dreamweaver?

I have been trying to import a slideshow from flash that I created from the built in template. I used the player that does not require a flash plug in and I cannot figure out how to insert it into my webpage in Dreamweaver. When I post the code directly it says that I have to enable java script? I am new to dreamweaver/fireworks and coding. I know that it should be simple, but I have not been able to figure it out. Thank you for any help you can offer!

I don't use that function, but here's a list of articles that may prove useful:
http://community.adobe.com/help/search.html?q=creating+a+slideshow+in+dreamweaver&lbl=drea mweaver_product_adobelr&self=1&hl=en_US&lr=en_US&area=0
You could also look at using jquery, very simple to use and help docs come with most of the apps.

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">

</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.

Putting Photoshop Slide Show (flash) into Dreamweaver

I made a slide show in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and I have
attempted to put that into a site that I'm designing for a class in
Dreamweaver CS3. I get the flash place holder but when I link it to
the flash file (that works fine on its own when opened) all i get
is a white, blank screen where the slide show should be. Any
help?

Try this, but edit the dimensions, name of the folder where
you keep the

Integrating Flash into 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.
Computerkitten

Hmm... looks ok to me. You should be able to place it in a
folder without
problem. I'd try using SWFObject to put the Flash on the page
though - that
_might_ fix your problem. Odd one.

Embed Adobe Bridge CS5.5 web image gallery into Dreamweaver site

Please help! I have been reading forums and trying to find the answers to my problem for days! I have created an image gallery in adobe bridge cs5.5 and have used an iframe to embed the gallery into my dreamweaver site. When I preview my site the gallery works, but after I've uploaded the gallery to the server the gallery no longer works. I have read multiple adobe forums with no success. Please help! Thanks!

I'm not sure I completely understand your problem, because linking to a Lightroom gallery is actually very simple.
Design your Lightroom gallery and upload it to your server. Just do it directly from LR. Let's suppose you have uploaded it into [your webroot folder]/galleries/test/.
Don't rename any of the index files.
Check it has actually worked, by visiting http://celestialapple.zxq.net/galleries/test/index.html with your browser.
Create a link to the gallery on your home page. The source code for the link is <a href="/galleries/test/index.html">Other Photoshop gallery</a>
And that's it already.
Cheers,
Michael

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.

Problem when bringing flash into dreamweaver

Hi All,
I am creating a website in dreamweaver using my flash file. I
have a few buttons that link to pdf files in a blank window. The
pdf files open fine while in flash, but as soon as I bring it into
dreamweaver, the pdf's won't open. I have them all in the same
folder as the flash file...so, again, there is no problem in
flash...only in dreamweaver.
Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks so much!

Could you either explain how you are calling for the pdf
files or submit a link to the fla and html? Its kind of hard to
diagnose without really knowing what you did.
