Problem insert media flv dreamweaver cs4 cs5

Hello
im creating website and something happen and now when i inset media FLV it doesn't. it shows many buttons like 4 play buttons, 4 pause buttons.

Hi
I'm writing because exactly the same thing happened to me on my G5 PowerMac in DW CS4. I've read a few other threads where Adobe haven't managed to solve the problem yet have somehow managed to close the threads. Is this; trying to brush the problem under the carpet a bit?
Anyhow, just before the same issue happened to me, I got an error message that when it came up I thought to take a snapshot of it which I enclose below. Additionally I had downloaded a newer copy of iTunes and also VLC softwares just prior to this annoying problem starting.
In the past, I was advised by Adobe to put the plist prefs in the bin, then not actually empty the bin but make a new installation so these would get re-made and possibly cause problems to get fixed. So far I haven't done this yet but have made a new installtion of DW CS4 but this problem still exists.
So my message is to any senior Adobe DW specialist reading this; Can you fix this? Do you know what is causing it to happen? How best to make a complete installation of DW so that we can get this glitch fixed please? Should we delete the prefs as well?
My FLV file was made in Squeeze software by the way, but has the icon from VLC as I like to open up the FLVs in this software.
Best regards
Paul

Inserting a FLV file into CS5.5 project

Hello,
If anybody is able to help me with my question I would be forever grateful.
1. I use CS5.5 and I have published a captivate demonstration as a MP4 - then converted it to a FLV file using Adobe Media Encoder.
2. I have then inserted the FLV file into another captivate CS5.5 project and published the file as a flash file.
Problem - The FLV file plays when previewing in web browser, and also plays on a public file location. Problem occurs when I load the published file onto a web server I get a connection error when I get to the slide with the FLV file.
I am really stumped with this one. Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks
ali

Hi Rod,
Attached is a screen dump. I can understand why when I publish the final flash version to a web server that it does not recognise the path of the FLV file as it is on my local drive. However when I attempt to place the file name of the file sitting on the web server I get another error message (Refer to screen dump 2). Obviously I am missing something
I am missing here. Thanks ali

DreamWeaver CS4-CS5 Creates Syntax Errors

I cannot seem to find any info on this online but my DreamWeaver CS4 and a trial of DreamWeaver CS5 both create PHP and SQL queries that are loaded with syntax errors. I use XAMPP on my computer as I have done for years, and it works fine with phpMyAdmin and Komodo Edit. DreamWeaver has been a nifty app to quickly knock out simple applications in that past, but now I spend too much time manually correcting syntax errors in PHP page queries.
Has anyone there heard of a fix for this? Several other web developers have told me that they entirely abandoned DW CS* series and moved on to other IDE's rather than try to fix the problem.
EXAMPLE:
Here is what it wrote:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE `mysite` SET about-yn=%s, about-h1=%s, about-p1=%s, about-p2=%s, about-p2-img=%s, about-p3=%s, about-p3-img=%s, about-p4=%s, about-p4-img=%s WHERE siteID=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutyn'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['abouth1'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp1'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2img'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3img'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4img'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['siteID'], "int"));
Here is what it should have written:
f ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
   $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE `mysite` SET `about-yn`=\"%s\", `about-h1`=\"%s\", `about-p1`=\"%s\", `about-p2`=\"%s\", `about-p2-img`=\"%s\", `about-p3`=\"%s\", `about-p3-img`=\"%s\", `about-p4`=\"%s\", `about-p4-img`=\"%s\" WHERE `siteID`=\"%s\"",
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutyn'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['abouth1'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp1'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp2img'], "int"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp3img'], "int"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4'], "text"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['aboutp4img'], "int"),
                        GetSQLValueString($_POST['siteID'], "int"));

Dreamweaver will not produce such a mess when using column names which comply with the MySQL Naming Conventions and don´t contain (often quite problematic) hyphen characters.
That said, you´ll be on the safe side when renaming your columns by using underscores instead, example:
about_p3_img
Several other web developers have told me that they entirely abandoned DW CS* series and moved on to other IDE's rather than try to fix the problem.
Dreamweaver is certainly not a "perfect" PHP development IDE, but other IDEs (I use Komodo or Aptana at times and like them a lot...) aren´t perfect either. This may seem strange, but IMO Dreamweaver did do the - sort of - right thing by not letting the user get away with using such problematic characters, and that´s what those other IDEs I work with regretfully don´t pay attention to.

Using Insert Media Flv but videos takes ages to appear. Why? How to speed up loading on page?

Hi, I used to used a freeware video player but DW CS5 kept giving me error messages about it so I changed all my videos over by usng the insert>video>flv menu . However, now the videos all take anwhere from 4-10 seconds to actually appear on the web page - and they are not big files. I have placed an example here:
http://www.enhanced-learning.net/test3/test.html
I definitely have the players and scripts folders also uploaded. With my old player the video would appear on the page instantly - any idea why it takes so long with CS5 or have I done something wrong? I'd love to see any examples of embedded videos other people have done too. Thanks

Thanks, I appreciate the quick response. I think you are right and it was aserver issue. After weeks of the videos not even appearing, suddenly
they are now all working just like you said. Grrr!!!

Inserting swf to dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
Hoping someone could clarify for me please!
currently putting together web site for client. The web site has a very simple flash animation in it which the client apparently can't see and gets the prompt to upgrade to flash player v10. (I've tested this on about 4 other computers and different browsers and it looks OK on all these!)
Their IT guy tells me he has installed v10 on their pcs and that my code is wrong because it has: <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />" and that it should be version 10.
I've just checked the publish settings in flash and it is set to Flash Player 10 and ActionScript 3.0 so I'm a bit confused as to why my code does indicate it is v6.0.65. I just use the insert swf option in Dreamweaver CS4 and let Dreamweaver write the code.
Can anyone help???? I would really appreciate it!!
Cheers,
Karen

It is best to let Flash generate an html page when published and copy/paste the code from that file into your html page. I don't know what Dreamweaver does when you rely on it for insertng Flash content, but I don't trust it since it should rightfully do the same thing Flash does (same company--same suite of products), but it doesn't.

Problems controlling divs with dreamweaver cs4

Hi all, so I have been hard coding my website and have had great success with the layout and everything. I am having trouble with dreamweaver cs4, does anyone know if cs4 is compatible with html5? My silicone cupcake liners website looks great but a nice transition to dreamweaver would save a lot of work.

DWCS4 won't be able to correctly read the html5 semantic tags like <nav><aside> or <header> while in Live View. The built in version of the quasi-webkit browser is just too old.
Design View will work for the most part, but does get confused by certain things within HTML5 specific tags, so that will look even more broken than normal.
It also will not automatically generate any HTML5 specific code, there are no HTML5 menu options and there is no update to make it do that.
The program itself is no longer supported by Adobe, being the 5th version removed from "current"...

Implements php function in dreamweaver cs4 / cs5

Hi,
I made a framwork for my company that develops using php.
It would be nice to not always having to explain the use of functions, implement dreamweaver, possibly through an extension, the intellisense for these functions.
for example when using the shell function require me indicates that the function accepts a string. in the case of mysql_connect are advised to enter the host name etc..
It would be very important to implement something like this for my functions
is it possible?

thanks for the reply.
I analyzed the file codeHints on php but I can not get what I want. I am doing tests on cs5 version.
I inserted the following code in the file
[Code]
<Function pattern = "today (string $eng)" doctypes = "PHP_MySQL" displayrestriction = "PHP_Script" icon = "shared / mm / images / hintFunction.png" casesensitive = "true" MMString: source = "php / CORE" description = "@ # php_CORE3.xml mysql_connect" />
[/ Code]
in new php file i put
function today($a).......
when i type today(...
the intellisense show me $a not 'string $eng'....
the problem may be caused by
MMString: source = "php / CORE" description = "@ # php_CORE3.xml mysql_connect"
I do not think because from what I understand this is the explanation of function and not the intellisense
thanks a lot in anycase

Problem inserting media from browser to timeline

Hi - all of a sudden and I can't figure out why, FCPX has started behaving strangely: I am unable to drag any media from the browser into my timeline (or "storyline" as it's now called). I can't figure out why. Pushing the buttons below the browser (for connect, insert, or append to the storyline) don't do anything either. Storylines I had been working on previously continue to behave normally (I can move clips around and delete them). But I can't add anything new--not even titles, themes, transitions, audio, nothing. It's inexplicable and very frustrating, the whole program is basically useless. It seems like such a fundamental problem that it should be a simple fix--anyone have any thoughts? I've already tried resetting to default settings.
Thanks a lot.

Try deleting preferences. Start FCP X while holding the command and option keys down. You'll be asked if you want to delete your preferences.
If deleting preferences does not solve it, try Window->Revert to Original Layout.
Also, in case there is a problem with the library you are working on, try closing it and opening a new library. Does the new library also exhibit the same problem?

Problem with sFTP with Dreamweaver CS4

SFTP won't work with my DW CS4. Login is successful when I use FTP but as soon as I check the box for sFTP it won't work. The same login using SFTP in Filezilla works fine too. I called my host and they said to use port 2222 (which works with Filezilla). Have no idea if there's a way to change this in DW.
I know DW is notoriously known to be a poor FTP client. Please help. SFTP is so much more secure than FTP and is a must. Thanks!

"Note: Port 21 is the default port for receiving FTP connections, however server administrators sometimes change the port setting to another port to prevent unauthorized FTP access. In those situations, you can append a colon and the port number to the FTP host entry. For example, if the port is 29, you would enter ftp.mindspring.com:29."

Problem Inserting Flash Video (.flv) File in Page Using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert Media Command

I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
"While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
with an OK button.
If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

Dreamweaver CS4 flv problem / white box

Hello-
I have a very simple HTML page. I have a very small flv file:
271kb. Following the instructions I embed the .flv file:
INSERT>MEDIA>FLV
and the following code is generated by Dreamweaver CS4:

The flv will NOT play in either browser. White Box Syndrome.
So I go to
http://freevideocoding.com
and get their code, as follows:
<embed src="

width="640" height="360" quality="high"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
And my flvs PLAY JUST FINE. But they are old school.
How can I get Dreamweaver CS4 to embed these flvs so they
will play in browsers?
Please help! I'm stumped.
http://www.undisclosedstudio.com

This is still an issue as of August 20, 2009. I get the white box in both the testing server and the remote server. I tried the CS3 version of FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf to no avail. It does not work in either Firefox or IE. Running CS4 on Vista based PC.
Has anyone made any progress in fixing this?

Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

Hi -
I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
I'm going to: Insert - Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle. But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software). This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others. This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
thanks!
Stacey Stanley

This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
1) Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters? If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
2) Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file. Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
3) When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server? Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

Template url problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi there,
Thank you very much for reading this post. I am having a problem with templates in Dreamweaver CS4, I am following the correct procedures to build a template, but when I link the pages together and update the template, the url has not been changed/updated on the child pages.
Here is an example:
Template:
../content/section/pagename.html
Child Page:
/section/pagename.html
Missing out the first part of the link, when the pages are loaded, obviously, they are not going to the correct part of the website
Please, can anybody give me some advice, as this problem is very quickly, driving me mad.
Thank you.
John

I observe this problem too on my Vista x64 machine with CS4
using dual monitors and split code/design views, and have found
others who have this problem by searching Google.
Description of problem: Roughly 50% of the time, when
switching between files (regardless of type) and trying to select a
block of code with my mouse (dragging over some code with the left
button), it appears to work normally (the intended code is
highlighted). However, when then attempting to CTRL-C (cut) or
paste, the selected code instantly changes to a much larger block
of code (usually selecting a specific div block or something). The
cut or pasted code is then the larger (unintended) block of code.
Once the code view selection works for a particular file
(either it worked from the start or I poked at it long enough to
work), it seems to remain working until switching to another file
and then returning.
Also, Dreamweaver CS3 didn't have this problem, so it's CS4
only.
This is a workflow nuisance much like a word-processor
deciding to insert a % character randomly every 10 seconds while
typing.
I found a Google groups thread
here
in which a poster writes that deleting the Dreamweaver
configuration file fixes this temporarily (the problem eventually
shows up again, and you lose all your customizations by doing
this). The posters in this thread also describe the same problem
with other hardware configurations.
My current workaround is to type return then backspace when
dropping in to the code-view of another file--kind of a pain, but
at least predictable. I also tried avoided the issue by: (a)
selecting something in the design view and then selecting something
in the code view, and/or (b) telling Dreamweaver to show the
"element view" (right click in design view, element view, Full),
but this latter action may be superfluous.
I'd be very interested if someone were to post a simple fix
for this problem.
thanks!
JP
PS. David: I've learned a lot from your books. Thanks for
writing them!
