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.

Flash swf file in Dreamweaver, the animation does not show.

I inserted a slideshow I created in flash into a html document I created in Dreamweaver and the animation doesn't show in the browser. I just get a blank space. Here's the site link

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.

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....

Flash swf files getting errors in dw8

For a student assignment, I am trying to load flash files,
actually the files are all linked through LoadMovieNumber, so what
I really need to do is load the swf. files in dreamweaver to post
them to our student website. Dreamweaver recognizes the files, but
when I try to place them in the remote file it is giving me this
error-
gd251kga2\firstsigns_drink.swf - error occurred - An FTP
error occurred - cannot put firstsigns_drink.swf. Access Denied.
The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not
completed.
Files with errors: 1
gd251kga2\firstsigns_drink.swf
But only on 3 of the 10 swf files I am loading...all are
located in the same folder, all are updated and work properly.
Does anyone know why this might be happening and anyhting I
can try to fix it?
Thank you
JJ

It sounds like there are problems with the folder you are
uploading to. Given this is a school computer you probably don't
have access to change the necessary permissions. Try renaming the
file and uploading under a different name then rename on the remote
server or update your file to recognize the different name.

URL, email links in Flash swf files shows up in search engine

Hi, can you please help? I post this problem a while ago.
My problem is: I developed a website in Flash 8 on the Mac.
The Flash swf file is displayed via Dreamweaver doc. When I do a
search and, when the site is found in Google, all the links used in
the Flash swf file appears in the snippets below the main title. I
would like to know where I'm going wrong, and how can I prevent
Google from displaying the URL and email details.
Do I need to use a preloaded, or do I need to put the Flash
swf movie file in a table in Dreamwever.
Many thanks,
Blue_Mac

>I don't know how this is happening then. Search engine
spiders don't
>read through compiled files like Flash.
Thanks, this is reassuring. Although it seems to have done
just that.
The following action script is where the details are coming
from. I've used the name 'whatever" as an example. I don't mind the
URLs on view as much as I mind my email address because of security
issues.
on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("mailto:[email protected]","_blank");
//End Behavior
I'll check my files again to see if I've miss anything out -
I have done this so many times already.

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?

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.

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.

Flash SWF file within Swing JFrame

I was wondering whether its possible to open a Flash swf file within a JFrame
I am looking for a solution similar to the usage of Flash Activex control in .NET
thanks in advance
Vikas

I have read the forum link and other such entries in this forum. I have found the following:
1.) JFlash - a java based flash player. https://jflash.dev.java.net/
Could'nt find the app or the official site
2.) a few projects on sourceforge.org :
java flash bridge where you embed the flash inside an Integrated Browser Component
3.) SWT Flash integration.
I do not find any of these solutions satisfactory.except the SWT/Flash integration which I havent tried.
My question is that isnt there an easier and simpler way to :
Embed Flash into Swing app where actionscript and java can communicate.
I am aware of Remoting and web services. But It is a desktop app I am talking about.
Can anyone suggest anything?
thanks in advance..
from a very frustrated programmer....

Swf files in Dreamweaver

I have created a Flash .swf file for the intro page on a web
site. Everything seems to work fine, except that for an instant, or
sometimes a moment, the area on the page where the movie will play
displays white. The movie is playing over a background picture
which is also over a background color, but the brief display of
white must be over both of these.
This effect seems to appear to some degree in all browsers,
Mac and Windows, that I have tried. I am hoping there will be a
simple answer to this, but I sure haven't found it yet. Any help
would really be appreciated.
Jim Alguire

If the movie starts after the white flash?
Open the html page and make sure the background color is the
same as in the movie.
Let me know if that helped.

Bringing Flash .swf files into Captivate

Greetings,
I use Captivate 2.0. I have been trying to bring a Flash .swf
file into Captivate with very little success. The flash file is
clickable (so that users can review case study information as they
complete Try It simulations). When I bring the Flash .swf file into
Captivate, it works. However, correction (or failure messages)
display every time the user clicks the Flash .swf file. Is there
anything that I can do within Captivate to stop this issue?
Ideally, I would like the Flash .swf to run on top of the Captivate
file so that users can view the case study details without having
to see the failure messages.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this. I
hope it makes sense to you.

Hi Zabcde (or PMW or P?)
Can I just understand (sorry for being thick) your situation.
You're trying to get a flash movie into a captivate session that
the user can work on, see, interact with whilst they're also going
through a Captivate simulation (try it)? Does that mean that slides
are advancing for the simulation whilst you're watching the flash
movie? Or are they watching the Flash movie as a kind of help to
then go and do the Try It session?
If it's the first, then I would suggest calling the Flash swf
and the Captivate swf as seperate instances in flash (using
loadmovienum or something). If it's the second, you should be able
to remove the failure captions from that slide so they don't bug
you.
Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick though
Cheers
AJ (jiminiCricket)

Is there any app to support Flash swf files on iPad?

Is there any app to support Flash swf files on iPad?
Thank You

Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are out of luck if you want to play on-line, but again some of them have app versions in the store.
