Slideshow - dreamweaver or fireworks or flash?

Wanting to create a simple image slideshow, with some fading transitions to embed into a front page layout.
Fireworks does a great one with navigation, but I'm after just the image transitions.
I'm using Creative Suite 4
Is there a way to do this, and which program is best? Is there a tutorial? Or do I need a 3rd party app?
Thanks all,
Dave

Hi Dave,
You might want to have a look at this sample: http://www.extendstudio.com/samples/Creative_DW_Image_Show_PRO/Baseball%20Show/
If it looks like what you need to do, then is done with Creative DW Image Show PRO

The only thing I can think of, which is a wild guess, is
this:
Software installations usually tell us to close other
programs and if
you are like me, you ignore that. I've seen a few computers
that, when
you tried to spell check in Word, had out of memory errors.
On at
least one of these machines, the problem was solved by
reinstalling
with all other apps closed and on at least one other one,
problem
solved by installing in Safe Mode.

How to load and play Flash Slideshow or banner on CS5 Flash player 10.1

The Flash Player 10.1 supports CS5, so the flash slideshow or flash banner designed by CS3 or CS4 can not be loaded or played normally.
To load your flash slideshow into CS5 Flash Player 10.1 or future version, you need to get a Flash Slideshow tool that supports CS Flash Player 10.1.
With such a Flash Slideshow tool ( http://flash.dvd-photo-slideshow.com/demoalbums01.php ) , you can load your flash slideshow into Dreamweaver CS5 and upload it to web directory. After you upload it to internet, it will play well on the CS5 Flash Player 10.1.
Also, if the Flash Slideshow tool will not run normally on your computer if it can not support CS5. To Choose a good Flash Slideshow Software for yourself, you should have a try it on your computer. And you also need to install the CS5 Flash Player 10.1 on your PC at first.

In addition I also can not get html5 video to play in the adobe air app. Would this issue be tied to the above?

Photo Gallery in Dreamweaver using Fireworks

How do I add images to a photo gallery that I created in
Dreamweaver using Fireworks? I created a photo gallery and I
changed my background color and other settings, but I need to find
any easier way to add images without messing up my settings. Each
time I add a photo, I don't want to have to change 40+ web pages.
Can someone please help? If there is an easier program to use, then
I will change programs.
Thanks for your help!

Sorry in advance if the following comment is missing the
point of your question.
Ans: You need to export (>File > Export) the image that
you have manipulated in Fireworks to an images folder in your
dreamweaver website. You will be prompted for an optimum file
output (JPEG, GIF etc) during this process. Then close Fireworks
and open DW. Then place your curser at the point in the webpage
where you want to insert the image and then select Menu > Insert
> Image. Browse to the image that you have created in Fireworks
and press enter. Job done! Fireworks is a fantastic s/w application
... and there's no need to look elsewhere.

How to SHOW/HIDE a dreamweaver layer from a flash button?

I have almost 2 weeks tying to find a solution for this. Please help...
-How can you SHOW/HIDE an thml-dreamweaver layer from a flash movie button.
My html layer name is LAYER1, and my FlashMC botton name is FLBOT1
Now, what is the actionscript that im suppouse to place in the flash button?
Please respond, Thanks

Adobe removed Flash Text and Flash Buttons from CS4 for accessibility reasons. Flash buttons aren't web friendly. And if you use this approach, you'll need to work in Flash because DW doesn't write Action Script for you.
That said, you could do something similar without Flash.

Dreamweaver and Fireworks?

Hi,
I have been using (very) old versions of Dreamweaver and Fireworks for the past few years, and am thinking about upgrading to the latest versions.
I see Fireworks is not part of Creative Cloud, but there is talk of Fireworks CS6 somehow being available through the service?
I basically just want to know my options of what to buy, and the Adobe site could not be less clear about how to get hold of Fireworks - I can see I can get Dreamweaver CC with a Single App subscription. How can I add Fireworks to this bundle? I really don't want the rest of the apps - just these two.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Alternatively - what has everyone moved to from Fireworks now that it is no longer being actively developed?

You can activate CS 6 version , if you have Creative Cloud full subscription
Can't download Firework CS6 through Creative Cloud
You can also purchase Fireworks CS 6 as standalone product :
Creative Suite 6

Uninstall Dreamweaver and Fireworks?

I chose "custom installation" during my CS4 installation, but the installer went ahead and installed everything anyway. (Thanks, Adobe!) I would now like to remove Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Will a drag-uninstall do it, or is there an uninstall process I should go through?
Thanks.

That's because few people read the Read Me file which is located in each of the CS4 applications' folders!
"IMPORTANT: Mac OS has new uninstall functionality. DO NOT drag applications to the trash to uninstall them. To safely uninstall on Mac OS X, double-click the product installer in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers or double-click on the Uninstall alias located in the Application folder. Authenticate as an administrator, then select Remove Components and follow the on-screen instructions."

NEW! Dreamweaver or Fireworks....Whats the difference??

Oh wise and intellectual ones,
I used to study design at college and want to start playing
around with it again. Would like to do print, logo's and try my
hand at some websites too. I've already purchased CS3 Design
Premium, which should arrive soon. Was this a good choice? If I
want to try my hand with websites, will Dreamweaver be a good
program to use? ORRR....Should I have gone with Cs3 Web Premium
package, with Fireworks too..
Whats the difference between Dreamweaver and Fireworks?
Would appreciate your advice!

Dreamweaver and Fireworks won't run at the same time

Recently, I've run into a problem where I cannot run Dreamweaver and Fireworks at the same time.
I have Dreamweaver CS4 & Fireworks CS4, which I can still run at the same time.
However when I run Dreamweaver CS5.5 and try to launch Fireworks CS5.1 I get a C++ Runtime error in FW CS5.1.
And when I run Dreamweaver CS6 and try to launch Fireworks CS6, Fireworks CS6 freezes before fully loading.
If I run DW CS6 and launch FW CS4, I can get them both to run together, but when I close FW4, DW CS6 crashes.
Any suggestions would most appreciated.
David

Historically, I've always kept prior versions installed because sometimes, albeit infrequently, I need to access extensions that aren't compatible with the newer versions of CS. Since I can run DW & Fireworks CS4 together, I'm inclined to leave them installed.
I've thought about uninstalling CS 5, but I don't think that would resolved my issue. I've already tried most of what's in the Adobe troubleshooting suggestions save for creating a new administrator account.
I think I'll hobble along with my current workarounds since I'll be migrating to a new computer very soon, which should acomplish what creating a new administrator account would. I'll probably limit the reinstall to CS 6 to eliminate any issues that might be related to having multiple versions installed, which in reality shouldn't be an issue because again, I've always done that successfully in the past.
Thanks for the suggestion just the same.

Hi

I¹ve created a graphic in Fireworks CS3 on the Mac and

fine so far.
Then I highlight the table and click the Edit in

table could not be found in the HTML. Please export from
Fireworks and
re-import the HTML into Dreamweaver.¹
What?!!
I¹ve only just exported it from Fireworks! It¹s
even got the Fireworks table
code in the Code section, so what¹s going here?
Has anyone else had this?

When you export the sliced graphics from Fireworks it places
them into a
table. In my instance the code says...

So it recognises Fireworks was the the graphics app and jumps
back to it
when you want to edit the image. Fireworks then displays (or
should) a
Done¹ button over the window. You do your alts and
press Done to update the
HTML and graphics back in Dreamweaver automatically.
That¹s the only table I was referring to Murray.

Dreamweaver to Fireworks Templates Question

I have been using Dreamweaver and Fireworks for a while now,
but I am just starting the enter the world of templates. I have
previously just been creating a graphical layout in Fireworks and
exporting the HTML and slices to Dreamweaver and using it as my
base layout. However, I recently d/l'ed some templates and they
consist of both the .dwt file and a .png file. The .png file is the
layout of the page but with only a few slices of key images. The
.dwt file is identical and is function as a template. My question
is, how do go between fireworks and dreamweaver? Lets say that I
have created an entire layout in fireworks, with roll-over buttons,
etc. How do I now import that page into dreamweaver and use it as a
template? When I try to export the HTML and slices into
dreamweaver, I cannot create layout tables and cells. Do I really
need to recreate everything in dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance,
Britain

If you follow the add Dw image placeholder, jump to Fw, Save
png,Save jpg/gif and back to D you 'should' be fine. All that
should take place is the addition of the image and nothing else
within the code.
I just did another test on a .php page that is hooked into a
mysql database with all sorts of formatting on the page and it
worked fine.
What versions of Dw/Fw are you using?
I am using the latest, if you are using earlier, that is
possibly where the glitch is occurring?

Having trouble with Dreamweaver and fireworks willing to pay for support

I'm new to the forum and i was hoping to get some help with
dreamweaver and fireworks.
I built a site on my own using dreamweaver 3 years ago but
have forgotten almost everything. I am planning on building a new
web site and have been messing with dreamweaver for over a week
trying to figure it out, with little success. I bought a web
building package years ago that included fireworks, dreamweaver,
freehand and maybe more, but i lost my books on dreamweaver and
fireworks somehow.
Anyways, I was trying to learn dreamweaver 3 and fireworks
and was having a lot of trouble with it. The dreamweaver bible
assumes you know how to make a navigation bar using fireworks and
that simply isnt the case for me. So I need help with that.
Also, i have been having trouble with my template. This is
how you save your basic page correct? For some reason it doesnt
save the whole page for me. I figured out the editable regions
part, I think, but since i didnt know how to make a navigation bar
I made my own links out of text, and this part isnt saving with the
template.
I have a lot more questions but i think ive taken enough of
your time. I am willing to pay someone to help me build this site,
i cant afford a lot but i think my questions are pretty basic.
Thanks

There is a recent thread on the FW forum that may interest
you - it's called
"Firworks and HTML". The advice there applies in your case,
too.
One problem with your use of DW3 is this -
the browser world has changed quite a bit in the almost 10
years since DW3
was released. Some (many?) of the behaviors in DW3 simply
won't work any
more because of these (significant) changes. Are you
absolutely locked into
using DW3?

Flash, Dreamweaver, or Fireworks for web gallery

I'm wanting to make a nice web gallery. I do not want to use
the "create web gallery" feature found in Photoshop or Fireworks
because I want to be able to customize my design more than what's
offered in those templates.
I'm at a loss as to what Fireworks is really used for in the
first place, but from digging around online it seems like maybe
it'd be helpful for making a web gallery (or maybe just the initial
stage of figuring out the design?)
What is the best software for creating a custom gallery? I'm
assuming Flash, but then I thought maybe I could pull it off with
Dreamweaver?
I like how the images zoom in and fade out in these
templates:
http://www.entheosweb.com/photoshop_templates/flash_photo_gallery.asp
These all had to be made with Flash right? I don't want to
pay for a template - again because I want to have custom design of
my own. But I haven't a clue how to do this all, so I'm also
wondering what I need to study up in? Flash alone? ActionScript
3.0?
Thanks for any tips to lead me in the right direction.

Please refer to
your other post for replies.

Locked out of Macromedia Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash.

I haven't used these apps in awhile, but I tried to open them, and it asked me for my password, so I typed it in, and after three times it said the password is wrong, what do I, do now?

Maybe call Macromedia or check their web site for support forums?

Slideshow Issues with Fireworks CS3

Hello all,
I apologize in advance for this; I'm trying to fully take
advantage of all the software included in Creative Suite 3 Web
Premium. I've been using Dreamweaver and Photoshop almost
exclusively, and thusly haven't touched Fireworks until this
morning.
I thought it would be nice to have Fireworks produce a
slideshow for my website using the "Create
Slideshow" feature. I have all the images in a folder on
my desktop (my iMac desktop.) The album selector allows me to
choose that folder and uploads the pictures into the images window.
If I choose to create the slideshow and have the files exported
back to the desktop, it shows a nice progress bar and (pretends,
apparently) to write the necessary files.
However, that's all it does. Pretend. The filenames of the
images, when clicked in the images window, do not load previews
into the preview pane. The empty pane says "file not
found." And when I attempt to "preview in web
browser," Safari gives me a "file not
found" error. Sure enough, when I go back to make sure the
.swf and .xml files have been written, I discover they are not.
Fireworks behaves the same regardless of whether I use the
Flash-based or SPRY based players.
Since my problems were addressed verbatim in
this
thread, I made sure there were no spaces or capital letters in
either my folder or filenames (there aren't,) and Fireworks only
has to go as deep as my desktop to import and export the files it
needs/produces.
Please tell me I'm making some sort of newbie error. Since I
use Dreamweaver, I am making the (somewhat large) assumption that
Fireworks can work offline. That is, none of these files are
uploaded to my web server, nor is the finished product uploaded to
my web server. Is that the problem? I'm so very stumped right now.
Thanks,
~G~ (Ha. The forums censor my name.)

Hi,
Not much I can do, as I'm not on a Mac and I couldn't get the
link (even
after I'd stuck the clipped bit back on the end) to work, so
couldn't get to
the 'history'.
Does this ...
www.fasterthanu.com
...work for you? If it does, will a peak at the code help
with your problem?
If not, if you'd like to zip up a few of the images you want
to create your
gallery with and specify the gallery you want, I'll have a go
at knocking
together a gallery for you. Then, perhaps we can establish
what's going
wrong from your end. Send any zipped files to peter (at)
fasterthanu. com
