Linking Flash to Dreamweaver

I must not have been listening in class.
My flash web page is
http://www.countrysidebasketry.com
When you select enter I want it to go to my Dreamweaver page
(welcome.html)
Do I make the enter a button then do my script as on(release)
then what?
Thanks for all your help.

If you will notice in one of my previous posts,
Also,
http://welcome.html wouldn't take
you anywhere other than a "page cannot load" or "no file found"
page because there is no domain in that url.
I explained how that is improper code. To use a relative
path, you would use getURL("welcome.html") as long as your swf file
and html file are in the same folder. To use an absolute path, you
would use getURL("
http://www.domainName.com/welcome.html").
You may use either.

How to link flash animations in dreamweaver 8

Hey everyone i have been trying to learn dreamweaver 8, flash
8, and others in a short time. My question is,
I am trying to create a website in dreamweaver 8 but i am
having trouble making a link to another page of the site out of the
flash animation once it's done. I can't find a option for that
anywhere, I was able to link the table in which the animation sits
but it does nothing. For now i just have the word ENTER below the
animation so the rest of the site can be viewed.
here's the link to the site where the animation first page is
www.fatcatzcreative.com
I have spent days trying to figure this out and being the
typical man i have finally broken down and am askin for help.
Thanks in advance to all.

HTML cannot link Flash.
If you want links in Flash, you will have to edit the Flash
file's
actionscript and add the links there.

Flash in Dreamweaver???

I have uploaded and displayed flash in dreamweaver before but
for some reason i cannot get it to work now. Does this have
anything to do with CSS? The file is succesfully on the server as
you can see at www.zcarpentry.com/dropmenZCI.swf but when going to
www.zcarpentry.com the blank space on the left is where the menu
should be. PLEASE HELP!!! I am self taught and think i may be
overlooking something here is my source code:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"
width="182" height="460" align="middle">

pluginspage="

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

Self taught developers usually don't get some of the finer
usability points.
If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
In your case, the most profound problem is #2 - since you
have an all-Flash
page, you will not find much love from the search engines.
And even though
Google is saying it now scans Flash links, I am skeptical.

Integrating a little Flash in 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.

It's the new IE functionality (introduced in the April 2006
patch update for
IE6 and made compulsory by the June 2006 patch update) to
comply with a
ruling against Microsoft's patent infringement.
It's triggered by the <object>, <embed> and
<applet> tags on a page. Flash
is normally imported into a page via the <embed> tag
hence it's affected by
the change. Content imported into a webpage by these methods
is known as
Active Content and now requires an extra click to activate it
and interact
with it.
The workaround ultimately rests with website designers who
are now advised
by Microsoft and Adobe etc to implement the controls for
Active Content in
their sites indirectly via Javascript rather than direct HTML
tags.
If you have DW8, the 8.0.2 updater will insert Flash with
Adobe's
recommended Active Content fix already included in the code.
With any other
version of DW, you'll have to do it manually.

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.

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.

Linking flash buttons to website using div sections

Ok, I am a total Newbie at Flash and Dreamweaver and I am
having serious issues linking flash the flash buttons from my
navigation bar to the main frame on my webpage. I have the buttons
working, and they do link to a page, just they do not link to the
frame, instead they load the page as a full page itself.
I am using Dreamweaver and a website template I found online.
I believe the problem to why it is not working is because this
template doesn't seem to be using frames, and I can not find the
name of the frame to reference in the flash button actions. This
template is using a lot of <div> tags to separate the
sections in the index file.
Does anyone out there know how to link flash button actions
to open a page in a specific div section? Also, how can I make sure
that it is these div tags that are creating the frames, and how to
find out what each section is called? (I'm new to dreamweaver as
well)
This is my first post and last resort, forums don't fail me
now! Thanks to anyone out there who helps me.
Darian

use a javascript function to change the div content and the
flash externalinterface class to call the javascript
function.

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.

Flash to DreamWeaver problem

Hey guys I'm new here..
I got a problem going from flash to dreamweaver. Here it is:
I have a site in progress: http://www.competitivevideogames.com/ns/ns.html
and I want to replace the top navigation bar with this:http://www.competitivevideogames.com/ns/nav_bar.swf(still a work in progress)
The problem is, the dimensions of this .swf are 1000x98 (the tightest it can be without cutting out the dropdown menu) and I want the bar to look like it does in the picture(1st link) which is nice and tight. Also, How can I get the drop down menu to overlap my html and flash below it? Because right now the only way i can see the drop down is if I give it enough black space in flash.
Any Help?
I can re-explain anything if it was a little confusing
Thanks

Also, How can I get the drop down menu to overlap my html and flash below it? Because right now the only way i can see the drop down is if I give it enough black space in flash.
That is correct. Flash content cannot draw outside its container/ canvas. The rest is merely in the way you stack content via DIVs with Z-indexes and the respective rules for transparent drawing of Flash content, which is done using the proper Flash param upon embedding.

Linking Flash Pages

What code do you use to link flash pages in a flash website?
Anything will help!!

Nate, the first thing to do would be some basic reading on
publishing Flash documents (i.e. "converting from FLA to SWF").
Start with the Live Docs here:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00000805.html
This will help you in producing the SWF file that you can
then place in your HTML template using Dreamweaver.
Good luck!

They work just fine. whatever issues you have are specific, but without proper system info, browser info and other details nobody can even begin to guess.

Flash or Dreamweaver? (Either?)

Here is today's softball/dumb question. In an effort to create my own website I have been spending a considerable amount of time learning the essentials of many Adobe programs through Lynda.com and with Adobe's CS5 Master Suite of software. Most recently I have been going through Flash tutorials. When it comes to creating a website through Adobe software I thought Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, etc were the foundation, (i.e., framework), of ALL website creation and that all other programs, Ps, Ai, Fc, etc....AND Flash where used in SUPPORT of that goal. That is they created the graphics and other animation files used within the Dreamweaver website foundational framework...but Dreamweaver was essential (using Adobe software).
The more I learn about Flash and applications such as After Effects the more confused I am becoming because, though I am unsure, it seems that Flash can be used as a foundation for a website all by itself and Dreamweaver cut out of the process all together. So my basic/fundamental/dumb question is is that correct? Though an answer to that question requires only a simple yes or no answer, and a simple yes or no answer is welcome and appreciated, any elaboration on the basic structural use of these various Adobe programs in pursuit of the goal of creating a website would be appreciated as well.

Sounds like you are well on your way this your project and I wish you the best!
Just to clarify one point.. There is no such thing as a Flash Website .. only HTML, PHP, ASP etc. sites which may have some Flash content.
So I don't think it's a question on using Flash or Dreamweaver to build your site... most likely you will need both, Flash for the content, DW (or some other editor) for the page structure as well as any PHP for server side scripting you may need.
As for building your own shopping cart, I suggest you start at your bank and work back from there to your Web site, NOT the other way around. Banks are very strict about which "Gateways" they use and the Gateway company is very strict about which shopping cart they will allow to connect to there services.
If you are expecting to collect payments via credit cards, you'll most like need a Merchant Account at your bank. Check and see what it takes to get yours set up. That's the account that your Gateway service will connect to... for background info..here are a couple used by local banks here:
http://www.authorize.net/
and
http://www.firstdata.com/en_us/home
But get with your banker before going too far. Make sure that you don't have to undo some of the efforts and development because they did not meet bank or gateway specs.
Best wishes,
