Inserting FLV in Dreamweaver CS4

I inserted an FLV file using the Progressive Download Video option. After completing everything from the dialogue window I clicked OK.
When I previewed the file both Fire Fox & IE it only showedthe image below. I have done it before and it worked, but now I can't remember what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
did you do really all the required DW-steps? In order you could control this I'll try to describe in detail from the beginning (translated from my German DW):
Create a really new subdirectory (only for better testing th e whole thing).
Create a new html/php-file.
Work in designMode --> Insert Flash-Video.
Search/browse ---> yourFLV.flv
Skin: Halo Skin 3 (min. width 280) ( it was my choice)
width 640 ( it's my choice)
height 480 ( it's my choice)
I clicked all the boxes
---> And now away with all these files below (produced from DW) to your server.
Best you have a look with WIN-Explorer into your directory, to see all the files DW has created in your subdirectory and don't forget one):
YourFlv.flv
YourFlv.htm (or YourFlv.php)
Clear_Skin_1.swf (my choice)
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
I have chosen only for the actual flv files a special directory. Of course you can insert a flv at any point.
If you really did all these steps without any effort, please send a link to your website.

Problems with flv and dreamweaver cs4

Hi
out of flash cs3 I generated a flv
with adobe media player all is ok I could see the flv
but when I import the flv into dreamweaver cs4 I get the picture below that means there is no flv
http://s7.directupload.net/...841/tskdqo9d_png.htm
I did this tutorial with the same result
www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial.html
what is that - what am I doing wrong ???

A picture of a ... a ... video game? ... advert means there is no flv?
How about posting the URL to your actual page rather than what ever that directupload.net image was supposed to be? It will help us to help you.
Meanwhile, I will make a simple guess based upon many similar questions.
Did you remember to upload the Scripts folder?

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.

Inserting swf to dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
Hoping someone could clarify for me please!
currently putting together web site for client. The web site has a very simple flash animation in it which the client apparently can't see and gets the prompt to upgrade to flash player v10. (I've tested this on about 4 other computers and different browsers and it looks OK on all these!)
Their IT guy tells me he has installed v10 on their pcs and that my code is wrong because it has: <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />" and that it should be version 10.
I've just checked the publish settings in flash and it is set to Flash Player 10 and ActionScript 3.0 so I'm a bit confused as to why my code does indicate it is v6.0.65. I just use the insert swf option in Dreamweaver CS4 and let Dreamweaver write the code.
Can anyone help???? I would really appreciate it!!
Cheers,
Karen

It is best to let Flash generate an html page when published and copy/paste the code from that file into your html page. I don't know what Dreamweaver does when you rely on it for insertng Flash content, but I don't trust it since it should rightfully do the same thing Flash does (same company--same suite of products), but it doesn't.

Dynamic swf file into dreamweaver cs4

Good evening to all,
Can a basic slide show created in Flash cs4 using as2 to load the images dynamically be inserted into a Dreamweaver cs4 page ?
The swf file shows up but I can't figure out where to put the linking images so the 2 basic "next" and "previous" buttons work ?
Thank as always,
Fred...

When you load the swf file into the html page, that becomes the swf's reference for loading files. So if your structure has a folder containing the html file and another folder for the flash file and another folder for the images, as in...
main_folder...
     - html file
     - flash folder
          - - flash file
     - images folder
          - - image files
then you need to change where the swf file is looking for the images because when it is in the html page, that is essentially the folder it is trying to get the images to load thru.
For instance, if you originally tested using Flash with the swf file targeting the images using...
"../images/imagefile.jpg"
(or something like that... those dots confuse me at times)
and the structure is as I described, then when testing in the html file the targeting would need to be changed to...
"images/imagefile.jpg"
Just think of the swf file as living in the html file's folder as far as targeting any files it needs to load, because once it is loaded into that page, it has basically moved to that new location.

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.

Dreamweaver CS4 flv problem / white box

Hello-
I have a very simple HTML page. I have a very small flv file:
271kb. Following the instructions I embed the .flv file:
INSERT>MEDIA>FLV
and the following code is generated by Dreamweaver CS4:

The flv will NOT play in either browser. White Box Syndrome.
So I go to
http://freevideocoding.com
and get their code, as follows:
<embed src="
http://freevideocoding.com/flvplayer.swf?file=http://www.undisclosedstudio.com/MatteFLASH. flv&autoStart=false"
width="640" height="360" quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
And my flvs PLAY JUST FINE. But they are old school.
How can I get Dreamweaver CS4 to embed these flvs so they
will play in browsers?
Please help! I'm stumped.
http://www.undisclosedstudio.com

This is still an issue as of August 20, 2009. I get the white box in both the testing server and the remote server. I tried the CS3 version of FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf to no avail. It does not work in either Firefox or IE. Running CS4 on Vista based PC.
Has anyone made any progress in fixing this?

Dreamweaver CS4 Insert Table button does not work.

I recently upgrade from an older version of Dreamweave to Dreamweaver CS4. But now I have a problem with inserting tables.
They have the dropdown on the top right for Classic, Coder, Coder Plus and so on. I was using classic and everything was fine, then all of a sudden if I try using the Insert Table button from the Inserts tab, it does nothing. If I right click on the button, then click on the button it works, and if i switch to any other view it works. so then I used Coder and it was fine, but then again it stopped working. So I switched to Coder Plus and it was fine for a few more days and then it stops working again. I have rebooted my machine, closed out of DW and nothing seems to fix it. I just installed all adobe software updates and there was nothing in the update that fixed the problem. Does anyone else have this issue and if so, how do I fix it?
I have searched google and I can't find anything. I can keep switching views but one day soon if it continues, I'm going to run out of views and Its such a habit to use the button instead of the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut.

try the following
Recreate Dreamweaver CS4 Configuration and registry
- rename the configuration folder to any name. (just add any character I suggest)
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration
- recreate the registry folder
Start > run > regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Dreamweaver>10. Rename 10 ex: 10_old
maybe you can post your specs here for more specific troubleshooting. Cheers!

Dreamweaver CS4 - Record Insertion Form js error

Hi
I'm dreamweaver cs4 and started using the Record Insertion form, I was mainly experimenting with it and just seeing what it could do.
However when I get to the wizard i have to wait a few seconds for it to connect to the database and then I get an error message that says:
While executing onLoad in ServerObject-InsRecPHP.htm, the following Javascript error(s) occured:
At line 283 of the file "Macintosh HD:Application:Adobe Dreamweaver
CS4:Configuration:Commands:ServerObject-FormCmnPHP.js":
invalid array length
I was just wondering if this was a common problem, or I've messed something up either in Dreamweaver, or in the SQL database that I'm using.
I've also noticed that its the same for Update and Delete Records Wizards aswell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I see it's your first post. Welcome to the forum.
A good place to start looking for answers is the Dreamweaver FAQ. You'll find the answer to your question under "Crashes, installation, JavaScript, and unexplained problems".

How to insert a lightbox gallery widget in dreamweaver cs4

I have dreamweaver cs4. . I've customized the lightox gallery widget in adobe exchange. I have a saved html page in a defined site into which I'd like to put the widget. I tried dragging the widget into an html page in dreamweaver cs4 but it did not work. Under "Insert" I don't see the option to insert a widget. How do I get it there?

How do you insert a slide show into a page in Fireworks or Dreamweaver CS4?

Newbie here. I just made a nice 4 image slide show in FW CS4 (under COMMANDS, CREATE SLIDESHOW) but can't figure out how to insert it into a page in FW or Dreamweaver CS4. My goal is to insert it into a FW page, then send it as a PDF to the boss for review before it goes into Dreamweaver. Can that be done? I assume if you can create the slide show in FW, then you can see it FW - or is that asking too much?? So far, I can create it, then choose to preview it in a browser (and it looks good). But then I click "done" and "x" out of the screen and it's gone. I saved the slideshow in a folder I created on my desktop. When I open the folder I see an images folder, a scripts folder, an "index.html", a "player_black.swf", and a "slideshow.xml". I've tried dragging all of these onto the FW page but nothing happens.. Also, the "insert" button in FW doesn't have a preset for slideshows. Neither manual mentions how to insert it into a FW or DW page.. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Problem solved. Found an import movie within iMovie.

Dreamweaver CS4 Flash insert is garbage

Dreamweaver CS4 is a disaster! It makes my 10x work more difficult. And it doesn't even get the job done.
Examples:
Can't preview my work in internet explorer. Instead, there some bogus, non-functioning, jump through 10 hoops extension called BrowserLabs - that flat out doesn't work.
It's even worse for Flash video. Can't just click and preview it anymore, in ANY browser. Instead you have to upload it to your server or create a "test server" - and Mensa member, UC Berkley grad that I am - I can not figure out how to do that based on the lame instructinos from Adobe.
Beyond that, the Flash insert in CS4 has totally lost the ability to re-size the actual video content - instead you get a black box around the video.
And you are no longer able to pull video in from anoher site by referenceing the full URL.
I bought Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things thaqt don't work.
I've been working with computers for a long time. And CS4 is THE WORST upgrade I've ever experienced.
Attention Adobe - what are you going to do about all this? I want to go back to CS3!

"I bought Dreamweaver to make life easier. I don't want to learn to hand code. And I don't want to waste days and days dealing with things that don't work."
How typical.
Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I can't wait to do all sorts of great things with it!"
Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I can't wait to do all sorts of great things with it!"
PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it's going to do all sorts of things for me!"
or the opposite:
PC user - "I just bought a new computer (or program) and it won't do anything for me!"
Mac user - "I just got a new Mac (or application) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
Linux user - "I just got a new Linux build (or system) and I still haven't learned everything I can do with it... yet."
Dreamweaver is WYSIWYG software. What You See Is What You Get... It's not a cure-all, do-all, write-all, upload-and-test-all fix for people who want to be webmasters without any knowledge or effort on their part. There's a solution for that... hire someone to build your site(s) for you.
If you're adamant about not learning code, you're in the wrong business (or even hobby).
It's like saying, "I want to commute across town, but I'll be damned if I'm going to learn to drive!"
I've been doing this since 2004 and I'm still in school learning new technologies and practices.
I'll climb down off my soapbox now.
Edit: For the record, I built and inserted two flash animations last night. First one here, second one here.Neither of them took more than three clicks to add, and I fully tested each of them in no less than eleven browsers (Firefox, IE8, Opera, Safari, Netscape, AOL, iCab, OmniWeb, Camino, SeaMonkey, Chrome), offline, before uploading the index pages.

Dreamweaver CS4 start a FLV video clip by clicking an image or text

Hi
I have 4 small FLV video clips on my page and I would like to start (and possibly stop) these clips by clicking on an embedded image or piece of text on the same page rather than by clicking the video clip itself.
Can anyone suggest a piece of JavaScript or a DW Behaviour that would do the trick.
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows 7.
Any help much much appreciated.
Regards
George

HI PZ
Thanks for getting back to me. Although I must admit this is very disappointing. Surely there must some Javascript that would launch the FLV video clips that could be copied and pasted into DW - I've seen similar features in many websites whereby clicking a thumbnail image launches a video clip.
Any one else any thoughts.
Thanks
George

Insert HTML 5 videos in Dreamweaver CS4

I use Dreamweaver CS4. I would like to insert html5 videos on my website. So far I have only used flash videos but I would like to make my videos available to mobile phone and ipad users. Can I download an add-on or do I have to upgrade my version of Dreamweaver?

It might help to use an HTML5 doc type, too.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 with Video</title>


<style>
video {max-width:100%}

Dreamweaver CS4 dead slow on windows 7 after inserting some png images, I can't scroll. Why?

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on windows 7, I put some png images in table and one 900px width image on background, now I cannot scroll the page, I can work smoothly on code view, but really dead slow in design view, Why? I am using Toshoba Tecra laptop - Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz with 2.5GB RAM.
Is it related to cache? Is it need any special settings for using too many images? Please help.

Thanks dear, The image has 1.08MB, but I find out the problem - I have 3 transparent images(less than 1kb) as table backgrounds, When I removed those images it works smoothly, I can scroll as well. But to keep the design how can I use transparent image without slowdown. The images are in PNG-24 format and i used those through CSS.
Thanks for your help.
