Linking .swf file to Dreamweaver

Thank you soooooooo much it worked smoothly and the way I
want .
Cheers

not sure of the total scope of what you are trying to do or
have done so
far...
instead of linking to the .swf file, link to an html page
with the .swf
placed IN it.

  • Continued/ linking .swf file to Dreamweaver

    Hi ,
    All I need is to link my swf file to a link in my HTML page,
    the swf file has its own control buttons created in Captivate that
    I need them to be shown in the swf file ratherthan new ones! and I
    need all this to be shown as a smaller window in the middle of the
    screen where the user can maximise and minimise the way he wants?
    so
    I have linked my link to HTML ( which is called Harmony.htm)
    file atht has the published .swf file in it but I have these
    problems:-
    1- Once I click on the link the new HTML page is opened but
    with this warning:
    " Adobe Flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe
    operation, the following local application on your computer or
    network :
    C:\..........\ Harmony_skin.swf is trying to communicate
    withthis internet enabled location
    c:\.......\Harmony.htm
    to let this press ok ..."
    I don't want this warning to appear for my users? how to get
    rid of it ? or it is normal to have it on the internet I don't
    know?
    2- the Harmony_skin.swf is the actual movie I have implement
    in Captivate which has the control buttons and the colsed
    captioning in the middle bottom of the window which I want them to
    appear, but when I publish it with the html file (Harmony.html)
    they don't appear and for other swf files they appear slightly how
    to make them appear? does thim mean I have to control the position
    of the swf file in the HTML file ? how to do that?
    3- I have seen this link sent to me by steve
    http://javascript.about.com/library/blpopup10.htm
    But I was not able to understand very well o to do that, I
    mean how to control the position of the html window as I am very
    new to HTMl and I am not very well practised can you help me in
    that pleas?
    Attached is my code and when you see the comment <!--here
    please--> it is the link I am talking about.
    Appreciate your help

    So you want your custom HTML page to open the Captivate movie
    in a new window that's centered with the normal browser buttons?
    If so, the "centered" part is a bit tricky. There's no way to
    determine the exact height of the screen since the browser does not
    know how the user's Windows Taskbar is displaying (hidden, one row
    high, two rows high, etc). I always take an arbitrary 64 pixels off
    the height just in case it's set to 2 rows high.
    A suggestion would be to start with the example shown at
    bottom, using the following as a reference for what each parameter
    in the window.open() method does:
    window.open()
    Reference at MSDN
    Also, you should NOT use spaces in any of your file and
    folder names... that can be a problem in some cases.
    Cheers,
    John

  • SWF file in Dreamweaver will not indicate link

    When setting up SWF files in dreamweaver (images), I cannot
    get the arrow to switch to a hand indicating that it is an active
    link to the user. Any suggests...I think this must be a simple fix
    but cannot find it. I want the SWF picture to have a hand over it
    to indicate that it is a link.
    Dan

    You cannot apply a link to any applet in HTML. That would
    have to be done
    in the Applet's respective scripting, and in your case, that
    would be the
    Flash Actionscript. Bear in mind that you should never use an
    Applet for
    site navigation anyhow, unless you also provide redundant
    equivalent HTML
    navigation, both for SEO and for accessability purposes.

  • Load Fail of SWF file in Dreamweaver CS4

    Hi,
    Could you tell me what I am missing in my files?????
    I am missing my Top Banner and  the .swf file in Dreamweaver? I can see it in the source files but that's it.
    I have supporting files from my Flash-Slideshow-Maker, but can only see my flashshow if I embed the file from SkyAlbum.com (Album# 247097)  which is very slow to load.
    Have I not loaded all the files for it or  something?

    Thank you!

    I decided to embed the skyalbum code, but the banner files are still missing?  ACE said it was a poor path, but now that I deleted it why won't my top banner images work now-on either page?
    Deleted what? Do you mean this?

    I see it fine on http://www.aeroadvertising.ca/ and http://www.aeroadvertising.ca/aero_location.html (if that's what you mean by "either page".

    OK, Uncle, I give up.
    There is no top banner, on my firefox, on either page...   Do you know where the beginner tutorial is for all this?

  • Can't view .swf files in Dreamweaver

    I'm using CS3 versions of both Dreamweaver and Flash and when
    I import a .swf file into dreamweaver it works perfect locally but
    doesn't show at all when I've uploaded the file into my webspace.
    What am I doing wrong? I never had this problem when I used the CS2
    versions of both software and it's driving me absolutely nuts!!!
    Any advice would be most gratefully received.

    On the other hand, if it's not working in CS3, then there is
    an error
    somewhere, since I know that CS3 does it properly....

  • Add hyperlink or hotspot to swf file in Dreamweaver?

    Hello how can I make a hyperlink (or a hotspot) on a swf file
    in Dreamweaver. I don't want to use flash to create the hyperlink.
    Help!
    Pete O'Connell

    You can't
    SWF files will always migrate to the top of the layer pile so
    anything
    created will be behind the movie. Only way to do this is from
    within Flash.
    Sorry.

  • Adding multiple swf files to Dreamweaver

    I'm trying to upload multiple .swf files to my website with

    Media -> Flash action as before and exported my files to be read
    in Adobe Player 8 but nothing then happens after the files have
    been uploaded yet locally everything works fine. I've uploaded a
    scripts file also but all of the .swf files are linked from
    different folders, could this have any effect?
    What am I doing wrong?

    Generally making sure that the SWFs are at the remote
    location where you think they are supposed to be (and where the
    code thinks they are supposed to be) as well as making sure that
    the active content JavaScript file(s) are uploaded and are present
    where the page is expecting them to be. Beyond that, for anyone to
    see what is wrong with your page(s), you have to post a link to
    your page(s).

  • White square for .swf file in dreamweaver site

    Hi
    Apologies if this is a very basic question.
    I have built a dreamweaver site and embedded a .swf file (a
    slideshow of photos created in flash) into the page.
    When I view the page online, the .swf file takes a few
    seconds to load, and while it is loading I get a white square where
    the slideshow should be (the dreamweaver and flash documents have a
    black background).
    Question - how do I either
    a) get the white square to be black
    b) get a loading bar to show that the flash video is loading
    Many thanks

    Thanks so much Tom - I now have a black background!
    The only problem is that my .swf is taking ages (8-10sec) to
    load and now its all the same it looks like nothing is happening!
    I have looked at the preloader threads and customised a
    preloader, but I can work out from the search results/threads what
    to do with it.
    How do i link the preloader into my .swf file. Do I need to
    know actionscript (I dont!) to do this? (I have Studio 8)
    The other gist I picked up from the threads is its better to
    avoid the preloader all together. I'm creating a photography
    website - hence big .swf - but do you have any hints for optimising
    the .swf - the flash publish compression is all I've used so far
    Many thanks

  • Insert Photoshop Web Gallery swf file into Dreamweaver

    So i tried to take a shortcut, and created a flash photoshop
    web gallery and placed the "gallery.swf" file into my html file in
    Dreamweaver. However, it is showing a blank white screen (i'm
    guessing it can't find the images?) but when I view it on my hard
    drive, it is working fine, just not in dreamweaver or any browser,
    even after I upload to my server. Any help would be GREATLY
    appreciated!! I've also tried pasting the body html code from
    "index.htm" that photoshop creates, as well as move my image files
    to the root folder where the swf is, but that doesn't work either.
    I have my scripts in the same directory, and not in
    subfolders.

    That page is very different from the code you posted and I

    about Geoff Stearns' FlashObject code.
    For the above link, I see nothing in the source code that
    attempts to
    load a .swf file. However, it is linking to

    the wrong place:

    The file is actually here:
    /dyers/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
    So if you actually do have a page in the dyers/ folder that
    links to a
    .swf file, just make sure the link to the .js file is
    correct.
    Most likely, change this:
    <script src="assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
    to this:
    <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>

  • Re-sizing flash (.SWF) file in Dreamweaver?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if their is a way to actually re-size a .swf in Dreamweaver. When my site is published online it takes approx 1 minute to load the first page. Stupid question but this is my first flash web site, so please bare with me. When uploading my website in Dreamweaver, do I only upload the .html file to the server or I upload everything, including the .swf and the fla (which are the two big files)? For some reason, there is something making my page slow to load and it's very ugly as for 1 minute the user sees a blank white page with Dreamweavers pre-loader.
    Thanks

    ok , so if I understand correctly...copy/paste my index.swf file only to my dreamweaver folder, nothing else? All my files (index.swf and index.fla, index.html are on my desktop in a folder and my content such as scripts generated by flash and my images are in a subfolder in that folder on my desktop.
    Sorry, I am slow to understand loll
    Ok so here is my website, even after adding background color to the body, still see white when it loads. I have high speed internet, I can only imagine those who don't. How to fix that?
    Other issue... my "shop" button. It seems to work fine, but if I test it out a couple of times, then it will give me an error message that it can't access the external link but no wonder it can't, for some reason it adds an http:http:// twice in the browser. In my case, being http:http://www.etsy.com/shop/natdzign. Huh?? Oh and how can I actually center it so it keeps it centered no matter the size of your monitor? I just realized my website isn't centered. Damn!!!
    Keep in mind that when looking at my website, this is my first flash website. I've made html/css websites before however.

    NOTE: For now it works, until I decide to play around with it again, either you will see a under construction page or a error 404 hehe.

  • Difficulty with Swf file in dreamweaver

    Hey guys,
    I know this should be a very basic question, but it has been
    over a year since I have used Dreamweaver or uploaded files. I have
    built the site in flash and am basically using dreamweaver as a
    holder for the swf file. However, when I try to upload my files and
    go to my site, only the background from dreamweaver shows.
    I have the dreamweaver saved as index.html and I have put the
    swf in the scripts folder. Does anyone know what the deal
    is?

    > <embed src="loader.swf"
    That is where the file is located on the server. Try it.

  • 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.

  • I can't run swf files in dreamweaver cs6, they place in the page fine, but can't be viewed.

    I've created an animation .swf file in Flash and inserted it on a new webpage. When I go to view it in live mode, it's blank. When I view it in the IE browser I keep getting a message that I need a newer version of Adobe Flash player, which is not the case, and even going through the install process doesn't help. When uploaded, it doesn't appear on the webpage. This is Dreamweaver in the CS6 release on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The animation file runs fine when viewed from the original folder, but does not funciton (blank screen) when opened from the copied file Dreamweaver puts in the site folder. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Also, is there a way to loop a .flv file? This could be a work-around if I can't resolve the .swf issue.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hi Jon,
    Unfortunately not. The website is actually an HTML module logded in a third party program. Even in the development stage though I can't see the .swf file in either the live mode or by viewing with IE. Flash video files play fine as have the other graphics I've incorporated. It seems like a file is missing to make the .swf animation work properly. When I copied the file over from the original folder, Dreamweaver also placed "expressInstall.swf " and "swfobject_modified.js" in a scripts folder. I'm wondering if there should be another or different file to make this work.

  • Missing Images in swf file in dreamweaver

    Hello,
    I was hoping someone could help me. I made a image slide show
    in Flash (CS3) and wanted to put in in Dreamweaver (CS3). I
    published the file in flash and went over to dreamweaver and did
    the insert - media - flash command and added the .swf
    When I test the movie, the buttons and the frame shows up but
    not the images. Any ideas on why? When I test the html file, it
    works fine. When I test the movie its self, it works fine too. Its
    only when it is in the Dreamweaver file do the images disappear.
    1. I have the required AC_RunActiveContent.js. file with my
    swf.
    2. I tried copying the code from the html file that was
    generated by my swf, but when I test the file in dreamweaver, an
    error comes up saying that i need the AC_RunActiveContent.js.
    3. I have flash files on the site that work just fine, it is
    just this one that is being stupid. I published it as flash version
    7, 8 and 9. Nothing works.
    Thanks for your help in advance!
