Integrating Lightroom Flash Gallery with Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unsuccessfully attempting to edit the gallery files created by Lightroom from within Dreamweaver. The index.html file comes up with this message when opened:
Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed. Download the Macromedia Flash Player
However, I have the player installed...
I have tried uploading the files directly to my server from Lightroom but they do not display. The loading icon whirls endlessly and never resolves.
Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.

You can't edit a flash gallery with Dreamweaver.
To make changes to the LR flash gallery you would require a copy of the original fla file and a copy of Flash to edit it.
The index file you see is the one that loads the flash player to play your gallery. The message is what is seen in a browser that doesn't have flash player installed.
You can make amendments to the gallery itself by changing the xml files, although the changes you can make here can also be made in LR itself so why bother?
You can embed the gallery itself in your own html page. Using insert, media and then finding the gallery.swf file. As long as you then upload everything in the correct locations (including the scrippt files abd the new html file in the same folder structure it will work.
There are other flash galleries that are far easier to embed available. However in order to make serious changes to flash galleries of any type you will require the original fla file and most designers are not going to give you that! Adobe does give away the fla's for the galleries that ship with PS.

Embedding Lightroom HTML gallery with Dreamweaver

I'm new to Dreamweaver and have used it to build a portfolio website. I've created HTML image galleries using Lightroom and would like to integrate these galleries into my existing page design. Lightroom generates an Index file, as well as Context and Resources folders. I've seen an earlier discussion about using LR to upload the galleries to my host, then edit the HTML to link the gallery pages to my other web pages. This strikes me as cumbersome for two products made by a single company.
What I'm after is a clear answer about if I can embed these HTML galleries quickly and easily into my existing page design? My other solution is to use the Airtight SimpleViewer gallery, but since it's using Flash, my galleries won't work on Apple mobile devices.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and Lightroom 3.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Missing flash files with Dreamweaver CS3

my uploaded site (which works fine when I preview before
uploading) 'ignores' all flash animations once uploaded... the
flash files are on the servers... is there a script I am missing? I
usually use a separate FTP program for synching... the root and
server folders are identical (so it seems)... help! Otherwise, the
site is the way it should be.

I'm having the exact same problem here:
http://www.stjohnsgeorgetown.org/
There's supposed to be a flash file at the top of the page, which
isn't showing up. I tried changing the URL to an absolute path and
it doesn't work. HELP!

Modifying Lightroom Flash Gallery Templates

I have created a Photo Gallery using Lightroom Flash Gallery in Bridge CS5 and have integrated it into a web site so far so good.
I would like to replace the file name shown under the image with the Image Title from the Metadata and not to show the Title Bar.
Does anyone know if other Templates are available that may do this?
Otherwise is it possible to make changes to the existing templates?
I have located the existing templates in the resources folder but have not figured out how to make the changes I want.
Advice and guidance welcomed.
Thanks
Derek

I have answered my own question, simple when you find where in the code it is done.

Lightroom flash gallery

I am trying to show images via lightroom flash gallery. When I view my site in a browser all ok, the slide show plays no problem. However when I make my site live I can see the page layout but the images do not load, a sign loading appears but continues forever. Can anyone help, cheers, Ted.

Sean, thanks for the help, but I am still experiencing problems seeing my images using flash pages via lightroom 2. My hosting company say that it is a scripting error with lightroom, indeed this is their most recent response -
'Upon visiting tedfoxjoyce.co.uk, I can see there is a problem with your scripts which mean the images don't load, this is not a server side error. Please contact your developers or the software developers for advice.'
Any other advice you could offer would be again much appreciated, Ted

Adding Music to Lightroom Flash Gallery

I would like to be able to add music.fla or music.swf files created in flash 8 to a published Lightroom Flash Gallery. Upon examination of the of the gallery.swf and the Index.html files I don't see where I can insert or embed the music files. Has anyone explored this possibility?
George

Don't know if this helps you at all. It's not LR of course.....
In CS2 Adobe added two Flash-based templates you can use for your online Web Photo Gallery. Even cooler is the fact that you can now add a background music track to one of these Flash galleries. Just follow these steps: First find the MP3 audio track you want to use as your background music and rename the file as "useraudio.mp3". Then open your Photoshop CS2 application folder and navigate to Presets>Web Photo Gallery. Inside that folder look for either Flash Gallery 1 or Flash Gallery 2. Depending on which gallery you chose within Photoshop, drag-and-drop your audio file into the corresponding folder. That's it! You've got background music.

Plz help i need to build a flash gallery with thumbs

plz help me i need to build a flash gallery with thumbs plz
give me the code or the fla file ........ !

You don't give a lot of information about your set-up but there are a couple ways to do this.
You can run Open Directory on your OS X Server and bind that to your Active Directory forest. This will allow people to authenticate against your OD using their AD credentials. This will work (it's better/easier in 10.5 than 10.4) but will result in Kerberos ticket which you would need to integrate to your site's permissions. You might be able to use Service ACLs to only allow authenticated users to access a certain site or service and that would take care of the authentication and control for you - but would require a certain amount of server manipulation and ODAD interaction. From the tone of your question I'm guessing this is an answer beyond what you were looking for.
Alternately you should be able to build a website that presents a dialogue and uses LDAP against the AD server. Almost all the examples of this are, of course, using MS specific tools and code like C# and .Net. But even to get this working would certainly programming (using PHP, Java or some other language) to handle the request and answer from the server and this will be beyond anything included in CS4. Depending on your resources maybe you could create the whole website except for the authentication and have someone code that for you. But it would need to be someone not from the MS world because they will probably want to use tools that are Windows specific.
Lastly there is the web specific .htaccess method that you could use without programming, but as you anticipate it will require you to manage the file that has the name/password information in it and will not talk to AD for information. This is the easy and local way to do it because it cuts AD out of the picture, but that puts the burden of maintenance on you.
I guess the answer is yes this is possible, but it is not easy or automatic.
Good luck,

CVS / subversion with dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
I am working on a few projects that require code versioning
and I have been told by many people that CVS is the way to go.
Is there a way to integrate CVS with dreamweaver CS3?
Has dreamweaver CS3 native support for any repository system
type??
There are some free gpl plugin/add-on for CVS/ repository
support?
Thanks a lot

Some may say SubVersioN is the way to go, it's been
redesigned to address
some shortcomings in CVS

Dreamweaver has native support for Microsoft Visual
SourceSaFe
Dreamweaver can use WebDAV repositories natively, and you can
use apache as
a WebDAV frontent for SubVersion.

Contribute CS4 with Dreamweaver CS3

I have a number of sites created with Dreamweaver CS3, and
intend to provide update access with Contribute - but Contribute
CS3 is now hard to get hold of. Will these sites work with
Contribute CS4 if developed with DW CS3: general functions such as
editable sections, checkin/checkout. I don't want to upgrade my
systems yet to CS4.
CS4 suite has much higher system requirement than CS3 - which
probably means a hardware upgrade first - so want to avoid this.
Can't find any info on this anywhere.
Thanks

I just read on the adobe website that:
"Contribute CS4 works with Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4
templates"
Does that mean it wont work with Dreamweaver CS3 templates?

Flash image gallery into dreamweaver cs3

I put a flash image gallery into my web page using dreamweave

do not show up. How do I connect the images to the flash file in
dreamweaver.

Getting a 404 error for

before I even
bring a mouse over the screen.
I'm guessing that
http://www.jenspaeth.com/Jen
Site/Shell.swf is
attempting to load that file and cannot find it.
Did you upload home.swf and any other relavent files to the
root of
www.jenspaeth.com? Or is it supposed to be in the "Jen Site"
folder?
You should not use spaces in folder/file names.

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.

Lightroom Flash Gallery Problem

I created a flash web gallery in Lightroom and added it to
dreamweaver cs3. When I opened the gallery index page to review and
adjust in dreamweaver I got a message saying I needed to have Flash
Player installed in my browser (It was) and scripting available for
safari (it is). Could not get past this issue.
When I used the same lightroom gallery only as html I had no
problems editing and posting the index page and gallery to the web.
Is there something I'm missing? Is this a Lightroom or
Dreamweaver or wombat problem?
Wally Wombat

For some reason Dreamweaver won't support Flash in the program itself or something like that. I went through the same thing once. I dont remember trying it but you could open the index page and hit the live mode button and maybe it'll pop up how it should. But if you uploaded it to the actual site and went to it in a browser i'm pretty sure it would look normal. And I was just wondering...but how did you get your html gallery to load up on your website? i'm having the impossible difficulty of achieving that. I paste the gallery folder into the site folder and i try to change links and html documents so they all correlate but i still get the 404 error when i try to go to it in the browser. I semi-succeeded one time by moving the index.html files out of the gallery folder with the other html pages that i had but then since they weren't in the folder some of the stuff in the gallery did not work in the browser. So if you have time I'd much appreciate some help!

Can I use Bridge Flash Gallery in Dreamweaver

LOVE Bridge's design for a photo gallery! Is there a way that I can use that flash gallery as a gallery in a web design? In otherwords, in a web design or as a link. I have a main page designed in Dreamweaver and want to use the gallery created in Bridge as a means to view my artwork. Is that possible. I see that I can publish it, but how can I use as a link. I thought this more a Bridge Forum question I hope...
MANY THANKS in advance!!

I appreciate all of your comments. I am also working throught this problem with my site www.jakgallery.com
I used iFrame to incorporate but when uploaded it does not work. I contacted Adobe and suggested that many users are having similiar problems and that it seems like an issue they could address. They suggested I go to www.adobe.com/devnet and post my problem there and Adobe people would review this problem to find a fix.
Just a suggestion. I think this is something that would be obvious to connect Bridge and Dreamweaver in an easier way. We'll see.
Thanks, Mike

Embed Lightroom Web Gallery into Dreamweaver

Hi. I've created a web gallery (lightroom html gallery) using Lightroom 3 and I am wanting to embed it into an existing website that I am working on in Dreamweaver CS5. I've tried many things but nothing seems to work. I've copied the gallery folder into the website folder and uploaded it straight to the site and that doesn't work. As well as changing the index.html and index_2.html (2nd page of gallery) to matching titles of a link that is meant to open up straight to the gallery and it still doesn't work. I've been trying for countless hours and can get nothing. Somebody please help on how to embed a lightroom gallery into an existing dreamweaver site so that it fully works.

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

Centering a flash movie within Dreamweaver cs3 on Y axis

I have published a movie in Flash cs3 which has generated an html document however the Flash movie is not automatically centered I have attempted to centrally align the movie within Dreamweaver cs3 by adding:
<center> after the opening body tag and </center> befor the closing body tag
This method has centered on the X axis but not the Y axis
I would have put in a table or a div tag, but when I open the html doc in Dreamweaver I have no visible repressentation of the Flash movie in the design view as I would have if I had created an html document from scratch and draged the movie onto the page, all I can see is the "get flash" hypertext and some other text. I did actually experiment by creating a div tag and dragged my movie into it but ended up with two movies one sitting on top of the other when I ran it in a browser lol. I'm quite intimdated by code and much prefer to work in the design view (wysiwyg and all that) which is quite restricting.
Any advice for centering on the Y axis would be much apreciated, Thanks in advance, Dave

I don't believe there is code to prevent this from happening
on a client computer. The default is enabled my Microsoft, what
should happen is a yellow bar should appear at the top of the
browser which will allow you view the content.
What might work is to use a program called Zinc by a company
call Multidmedia Limited www.multidmedia.com. Search the site for
samples, one of the samples is a Flash Browser this will run Flash
a browser that you can use. You will need to change the URL a bit
in the Flash code but it's very clear on how to do this.
What this will do is run your web site in a Flash browser I
did a quick test and I did not get any errors. The program will
create an EXE file. I also believe they have a MAC version if you
need one. With a simple "Autorun" call on the CD-ROM you could have
this up and running in not time.
Just be careful of how you call the pages. Since the web site
is not running from a Web server you need to make sure that your
links are local and not Site Root. The best way to test is to
disconnect your computer from your internet and see how it runs.
You want the CD to be self-contained and not have to get content
from the web (your end user may be on a laptop and not connected).
Good Luck
