Placed SWF file into dreamweaver, but it breaks up my layout.

Hello all
OK - so - warning -  I am rather amateur at all this. LIke many people, I make up my own website, which I have done in the past with no problems, but this time I have come unstuck because I am trying to insert a flash swf. I have managed to get so far with my website design for the photos page (which includes a thumbnail gallery which has been made using flash) but now it is not previewing correctly.
I have designed the layout in Fireworks and that exports as an html fine and looks good in dreamweaver and also when I preview in browser.
I made a slice in Fireworks the same size as my swf and replaced that image with the swf once I had opened up the exported html file in DW. But sfter I put the swf in, when I preview in browser, the slices seem to have mucked about a bit and the images in the table (I assume) are not aligned correctly.
Please bear in mind that since I will only ever design this website, I really don't want to have to spend hours learing CSS (or whatever) though of course I aprpeciate that knowing code will help. I have had a go at learning some of it, and cannot get my head around it! If there is no obvious answer, I guess I will just figure out another way around it - but I'm hoping it is something simple.....
Here is a link to a screenshot of what it looks like when I preview (the white arrrows point out the problems)

Of course, I'll say nothing about the ill-advised use of Flash....
Then I will.   Flash is a dead web technology because the world's most popular devices don't support it.  If you choose to use Flash, you're alienating people who use iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, newer Androids, and more...  That's a lot of people who will never see your flash gallery.
Create a CSS Layout or use one of the pre-built layouts that comes with DW.  See screenshot.
Use a jQuery image gallery instead of Flash.  jQuery is well supported by all modern web devices.

  • 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:
    > and the link is
    >
    > 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>

  • 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.

  • 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.
    pixelgal

    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.

  • 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....

  • Inserting swf file into dw vs. creating full site in flash

    I'm updating a website, and am pretty familiar w/html and DreamWeaver, but would like to add some elements of Flash into the site.  I am using Flash CS4.
    What is the advantage and/disadvantage of inserting various swf files into my DW site versus just creating the entire site in Flash; what's the difference in either approach? 
    If I do the latter, do I eventually bring it into DW anyways so that it is an html file?
    Thanks for your help!

    There can be potential issues with Flash content in a web site since the evolution of iStuff led to disallowing Flash content to be displayed.  If you are looking to attract a mobile user base, then going with Flash can be a gamble, especially as you go further on into the future where there will no longer be Flash Player development to parallel the mobile market.
    I have heard that Flash content does not support handicapable design elements that html/css provide for.
    You can always have the web page code check for the availability of the Flash Player, and if not found have alternative content presented instead.
    An issue with having a full Flash site is that it can be less SEO friendly than going with straight html-based designed, although since the Flash content would still reside in an html page there are some measures that can be taken to support SEO concerns.
    For a full Flash site design you would probably not need DW since Flash can generate an html page of its own.
    I recommend you post your questions in the Dreamweaver forum as well.  The reaction there to using Flash content is likely to be harsh, so don't take it personally, but some helpful information might still be gleamed from trying.

  • Joining several swf files into one swf file

    hello everybody
    i've been dealing this issue for too long and decided to ask for  help - how can I unite 15 swf files which placed in one folder to a one swf file???
    i tried all kindes of merging softwares like "Join (Merge, Combine) Multiple SWF Files Into One Software" and "WinMerge" without success and tried to convert swf to flv (cause i found other merging software for flv files) but again...
    I have CS5 so if i'll have to open Flash for this i will, though i'm trying to avoid that and even then i'm gonna need full instructions.
    All i need is this simple thing so i'll appreciate very much any help
    Thanks & Good Day
    Keren

    Hi Ned
    Again - thank you very much.
    I've got the source files and i'm on the run now.. kind of..
    I did as you recomצended and used a code from one of the AS3 UILoader tutorials , and it seems to work:
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
    import fl.containers.UILoader;
    var myLoad1 = "fastflipPage.swf";
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myLoad1);
    loader.scaleContent = false;
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
    loader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
    loader.load(request);
    loader.load(request);
    function progressHandler (event:ProgressEvent):void
    status_txt.text = "Percentage Loaded" +
    Math.round(event.target.percentLoaded);
    function completeHandler (event:Event):void
    status_txt.text = "Loaded Done";
    So... i'm tring to find some answers to my next step : in the code above im loading only one file and i need to load 30 files so they could play one after another. i noticed that i can create many uiloader instances and load several external SWFs in the same scene without writing a script to each one of them... is that right? and if so, how can i do that???
    I'm full of hope to figure this task, meantime will look for more answers
    Thanks in advance

  • Unable to Insert Adobe Edge Animate files into Dreamweaver CS6!

    I have just tried the new Insert Edge Media feature in the new Cloud version of Dreamweaver CS6, but I can't get it to work!!
    I have the option, but all the files in the Edge folder are unhighlighted (grey'd out) and I am unable to select anything Edge has published. I have noticed that the file extension has recently changed from .edge to .an with the launch of Animate.. Is this the problem?
    Its a shame as its really quite tricky to put edge stuff into a web page at present..
    Any ideas?
    Wesley

    Do you have an HTML5 web document open?   
    Below are instructions from the DW CS6 Reference document
    http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/dreamweaver_reference.pdf
    Import Edge Animate compositions | Creative Cloud
    This feature is available for Creative Cloud members and point product subscribers only.
    You can import Adobe Edge Animate compositions (OAM files) into Dreamweaver. The composition is placed at the location of the cursor. Dreamweaver extracts the contents of the imported OAM file to a folder named edgeanimate assets. You can change the default location in the Site Setup dialog.
    1. Ensure that your cursor is at the location where you want to insert the Edge Animate composition.
    2. Select Insert > Media > Edge Animate Composition.
    3. Navigate to the location in your computer containing the OAM file, and open it. The animation is placed at the specified location.
    By default, the contents of the OAM file are extracted to the edgeanimate_assets folder. A sub folder with the name of the file is created. The contents of the OAM file are placed in the Assets folder under this location.
    You can place Edge Animate Compositions into individual pages not part of any site. The files are extracted to the location of the page.
    Location of extracted files
         A. The edgeanimate_assets folder
         B. The folder created using the file name of the OAM file
         C. The Assets folder containing the extracted files
    4. Preview the inserted Edge Animate composition in a browser or in the Live View.
    Change default location for extracted files
    1. Open the Site Setup dialog for your site.
    2. Under Advanced Settings, select Edge Animate Assets.
    3. In Asset Folder, modify the location for extracted files

  • Unable to convert swf files into fla files

    Hi,
      I tried using Dreamweaver to convert a SWF file into a FLA file so I can edit it in CS 5.  But when I right clicked the placeholder for the file, it doesn't have an "Edit in Flash"  option. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks very much,
    Rosemary    

    According to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WSd60f23110762d6b883b18f10cb1fe1af6-7f12a.html# WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7acf
    asset is reflected in Flash immediately. 
    Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash
    If you have both Flash and Dreamweaver installed, you can select a SWF file in a Dreamweaver document and use Flash to edit it. Flash does not edit the SWF file directly; it edits the source document (FLA file) and re‑exports the SWF file.
    In Dreamweaver, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
    In the Dreamweaver document, do one of the following: 
      Click the SWF file placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector click Edit.
      Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the placeholder for the SWF file, and select Edit With Flash from the context menu. 
    Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it."
    But I don't see "Edit with Flash" option.  Maybe because I have a trial version of Dreamweaver?

  • Can I combine two methods of code to load various SWF files into the same location

                   name:image.@name + "Thumb",

                    onFail:_imageFailHandler})
    [/CODE]
    Here is what I would like to resolve. I have another section on the site with an image collage. Every image is a button. I want to script this each image on click to go to the label with ImageLoader and SWFLoader AND TO OPEN A UNIQUE SWF (ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMAGE CLICKED) ON THAT PAGE
    Previously this is what I did to achieve it. I would specify a String:
    [CODE]
    var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
    [/CODE]
    and then all my buttons will have their unique SWF assigned for them which opens at another labeled section ("prdctsPopUps" in this example):
    [CODE]
    function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
      sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf";
      gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
    [/CODE]
    Then in the "prdctsPopUps" section I would specify that var string to bring up SWF files. The value of sourceVar_ProductsPopUps allows to load mulitple SWFs from the previous page.
    [CODE]
    loaderProductPopUps = new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
    [/CODE]
    But I need both of them to be working at the same time. First there is a sectionA from where a user can navigate to specifically targeted SWF to section B's SWFLoader. Then in the section B a user has an option to bring up other SWF files into SWFLoader from the scrollable thumbs menu. Is there a way to combine these two lines into one:
    [CODE]
              new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
    [/CODE]
    and
    [CODE]
    new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
    [/CODE]

    Thanks for looking into my issue.
    Unfortunatelly I am not so advanced in AS and do not complitely understand the logic of the problem. I will try to decribe my set up more precise.
    So, my main flash file is broken into labeled sections on the main time line.
    One of the sections is "Applications" It has an animated collage of images. Each image acts as a button and once clicked brings a user to a section called "ApplicationsPopUps".
    "ApplicationsPopUps" section has small image thumbnails scroll menu at the bottom of the screen and a large SWFLoader in the middle of the screen. User can click on an image in the thumbnails scroll menu and a corresponding SWF file will load in the middle of the screen in SWFLoader. User can click on left/right navigation buttons and preceeding/following SWF file will load in SWFLoader.
    Everything works fine (with your previous help)
    Here is the working code for the ImageLoader and SWFLoader (please let me know if you need additional code on the page):
    function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {        _slides = [];       var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.        var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have  nodes with all the info we need.        //loop through each  node and create a Slide object for each.       for each (var image:XML in imageList) {         _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,               image.@description,               new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",               {                    name:image.@name + "Thumb",                    width:_THUMB_WIDTH,                    height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,                    //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                    //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69                   scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                    bgColor:0x000000,                    estimatedBytes:13000,                    onFail:_imageFailHandler}),                 new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",                   {                     name:image.@name + "Image",                     width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,                     height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,                     //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                   x:0, y:144,                     scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                     bgColor:0x000000,                     estimatedBytes:820000,                     onFail:_imageFailHandler}) 
    Thumbnails in the section "ApplicationsPopUps" and images in the image collage in the section "Applications" represent the same photographs. So when a user clicks on one of the images in "Applications" section it would be natural that that image will load in the "ApplicationsPopUps" section. However "ApplicationsPopUps" section presently has a working code (as sampled above) It looks too complex for me and I do not know hot to implement this feature. I do want to keep the functionality of the thumbs image scroller in section "ApplicationsPopUps" as it is now. But I want to add that when a user click on an image from section"Applications" then that particular SWF file will load in SWFLoader in section "ApplicationsPopUps" and then the present functionality can as well be exectuted. Presently it just opens on a first image in xml order.
    P.S. I see that you had a download link in your answer. How did you do it? I could also upload a small sample file with my problem. This way you could see all the set up right away.

  • Embedding SWF file into an Indesign document and later export as PDF

    Hi to everybody,
    I am searching now since 3 days for good solution of my problem. First I wanna tell you that the problem is not just to convert a swf-file into a pdf.  I did this many times with all animations, page flip and stuff.My situation is the following:
    I have varios catalogues with  more or less 12 pages each in an indesign format. Now I created an animated scroll down menu, which appears on an "index-page". On the menu I created buttons. One button for each catalogue. So the idea of the whole thing is to open a document and an index page appears where you have the animated menu and you choose the catalogue you wanna see. Until here it is quite easy. I created a swf file of each catalogue with my animations (as the special page turnover e.g.). So that I just need von Object in with I can load the different swf-files of these catalogues. I already did the process. I linked the buttons to the different swf files and so. So the problem is now when it comes to convert the whole thing into a PDF. Of course I convert it first to swf and then to PDF. After converting it to swf it works 100% fine, but in PDF not, suddenly the swf-files of the catalogues disappear.
    So the summary is, that I don't know how to embed swf files into an indesign document, creat buttons and interactions next to swf file, then save it to another swf, and then to a pdf without losing the first swf files within the pdf.
    Hope I made my self clear would be too nice if someone could help me or if someone may have a better idea of realizing the whole project.

    Jeffrey,
    Thank you for the answer. As you have written:
    I will also add that the ID's play mode contol [plays once] [repeat play] does not always control the file once in Acrobat.
    I presume you mean version of ID older than CS4 or version of Acrobat Reader older than 9.1
    It that is the case I will strongly recommend my visitors to upgrade to this version.
    I hope that would work.
    Thanks again.

  • Getting .CP or .Swf files into .FLV

    Hello:
    I used Captivate to create 3 e-learning modules. My hope is
    to deliver them via web. When enclosing the SWF files into a web
    page, the application takes **FOREVER** to load (3 minutes). So,
    after looking into retaining a streaming web host, I discovered
    that I need an .FLV file to stream adequately.
    Exporting my .CP files to Flash 8 results in drastically
    degraded quality and un-synched audio and animation. Exporting the
    .FLA file to .AVI is even worse. I can't seem to de-compile my .CP
    file to any other Flash application in a way that maintains the
    qualtiy. The SWF files are beautiful, but they can't be used to
    stream.
    Does anybody have any answers?

    Hi, TriSys G!
    If I'm understanding "lightning speed" playback of embedded
    .swfs, it sounds like a frames per second (fps) mismatch. By
    default Adobe Captivate records and plays back at 30 fps. However,
    if the .swf you are inserting as animation was created at a
    different fps rate, you can end up with the scenario you outline.
    The best solution would be to go back to the original
    developer of the .swf and have them re-compile at 30 fps. Of course
    the developer may not be available.
    The alternative is to go the other way. If you know the fps
    of the swf you are embedding, you can adjust your movie's frame
    rate to match the .swf. Here's the command path for that:
    Project>>Preferences>>Preferences>>Frames Per
    Second.
    BTW, since this thread was created to answer a different
    question, next time I'd suggest create a new topic so we can see
    more quickly

  • Importing another swf file into the flash-homepage (swf is a gallery)

    hi there!
    have a problem that i cant resolve myself ..
    i downloaded a free of use gallery from juliuswebdesign.com (this gallery) and i'm trying to load it in my flash site ..
    now, the gallery works if i open it directly (i open the swf file)
    BUT
    when i try to load the external swf file into my site
    loadMovie("image_gallery.swf", box);
    then the movie loads .. the gallery is displayed the message "loading xml file" displays and then when the xml is loaded the message "loading image 1/7" displays and only the first image loads.
    once the first image is loaded it will not be displayed (it remains outside of my swf file .. i can see it when i resize the window) and no other images will be loaded.
    if i open the gallery.sfw file again everything works fine .. the problem is only if i try to load the gallery.swf in another swf ..
    something must be wrong ..
    i tryed to opern the gallery.fla file and copt everything directly in my site and the problem remains the same .. only 1 image loaded and not displayed in the gallery ..
    i'ts like something in my site "blocks" the gallery beeing loaded..
    any suggestions?

    to the gallery's fla add the following and retest:
    this._lockroot = true;
