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!

You haven't told us whether you are using RH for Word or RH HTML to generate your CHM.
Please read Before You Post as it has been written to help you get a quicker reply. I will shortly be travelling and unable to pick up your reply for most of the day so unless anyone else can chip in once you advise us which, there will be a delay in helping you.
If RH HTML:
Your problem sounds like this one - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/490223?tstart=0 as there the images show in Windows Explorer but not in Project Manager or the WYSIWYG.
You say
When I generate the chm file there is mentioned that no graphic is loaded.
Do you mean there is an error message? What exactly does it say?

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".

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.

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.

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.
Mark

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.

Re-positioning a swf file in dreamweaver?

Hi,
I am Graphic designer currently learning the ropes of webdesign..so this may be a noobish question as i have NO IDEA when it comes to html code...
I created a design in photoshop and saved my pages, images slices etc in html and opened it in dreamweaver.
My Problem is... i have a "swf flash slide show file" which i want to re-position roughly in the center of the html page, which for the life of me i cannot do!
I have tried aligning it center etc...but the swf file only seems to move around the edges of my html page.
Is it possible for the swf to be centered within my html page.
Here is the Dreamweaver code I have currently :

Complete code below, copy and paste into new Dreamweaver document, and save to your site folder. One point I can't help thinking that at 1600px wide your main image is too wide, most will have to scroll right to see the whole page. I would limited the width to around 980px.

Previous/next navigation for .swf files in dreamweaver

Hello. I would like have a previous/next navigation that allows the user to cycle trough a series of sequential .swf files (as in computer based training). will th e image veiwer suffice (even though im not fond of the default navigation bar)? Or better still how do i get the button to advance to the next .swf file? Many thanks:)

Prettyphoto uses the jquery framework for lightboxes, galleries etc., It also allows you play flash movies with a forward and back arrows... take a look at this samples here - it could be what you're after:

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.

Kizat727 posted in macromedia.dreamweaver:

> www.micromediapubs2.com/dyers/portfolio.html
That page is very different from the code you posted and I
know nothing
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
AC_RunActiveCon.js file in
the wrong place:
GET /dyers/assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js HTTP/1.1
Referer:
http://www.micromediapubs2.com/dyers/portfolio.html
HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
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.
www.natdzign.ca
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.

Trouble placing swf file in dreamweaver

Fairly new to Dreamweaver and I've had an issue I can't figure out.
my problem is I am placing a swf file that is the same size as the frame (right term?) I'm placing it in, on a page that was built from a template I created (sliced from a Photoshop file). When I preview it, the frames around get moved and show space betwen them.
Here's the page I'm working on (also added a screen shot showing grey areas of space)
http://jagercreative.net/site1_10/JC_advertising.html
If you go to other pages within this site, you can see there is not the same issue.
It seems to work if I reduce the size of the files's dimensions (width and height) down a bit but I can't figure out why, if the swf file is the exact size as the space it is going into is, why I keep getting these spaces appearing. As far as a I know, there is no padding, V and H space or borders in the file that would cause this.
If I add a static image that is the same size, I don't have this problem.
I'm on a Mac, DW CS4 and Flash CS4
Thanks for your help in advance.

I think you can fix it without the css solution.
If you make EVERY table cel the right size (since its a static sized website shudnt be a problem) and add
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
to it you should be safe.
My experience is that when you did not devine the excact size to every table cel youll end up with problems like this.
Try defining your <td height="your-size" width="your-size" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"></td>
Make your flash (swf) file the same size as the table cel and put it in:
embed src="movie.swf" width="your-size" height="your-size"
value="noborder"
I am pretty sure that if ALL table cels have a fixed size your problem will be solved.
Also try removing spaces and other characters that could mess up the size of the cels.
Could be only one little thing that messes up a lot.
I hope it helps.
Warm greetings
David.

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.

Adding multiple swf files to Dreamweaver

I'm trying to upload multiple .swf files to my website with
no luck. I've done this with previous versions of Dreamweaver but
with CS3 I'm finding it won't happen. I've done the Insert ->
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?
Chris.

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
