Sound in Dreamweaver

Admittedly, I am a TRUE novice here... but:
I have a page that I set up, including graphics and sound,
that, in First Page looks fine, and the sound "plays".
But in Dreamweaver, the graphics are represented by place
holders, and the sound isn't, at all... But when I take that page,
from within DW, and view it in a browser, IE 6 for instance, it's
all fine.
Is there no "full preview" mode in Dreamweaver, or am I just
set up wrong?
Please...
Regards,
Chuck Billow

That's what is supposed to happen DW is an editor for putting
your pages
together. You always preview in a browser.

.aif sound file, Dreamweaver CS6

I'm designing a web page with Dreamweaver CS6 that has an .aif format audio file. When the page is opened on the web the way it is now, the music automatically starts playing. I want to make it so the viewer/listener has to click the arrow before the music starts. Is that possible and if so how can I change it so the listener has to click to start the music?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Susan

AIF is not suitable for the web. It's too huge.
Convert your sound file to MP3 and OGG. This will reach the widest browser audience. Then use an HTML5 audio player like the one below.

No sound in Dreamweaver template

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to Dreamweaver so please excuse
the stupidity of what I'm about to ask. My problem is this: I have
created a few templates that's been working just fine with text and
images but now I want to embed a sound file and can't for the life
of me get the sound to play. I've tried including the sound file in
the template but to no avail and have seen mention on various sites
of unlocking the header but haven't worked out how to do this. Can
anyone throw me a line on this? I'm midway through a majorly
important project and would really appreciate any advice.

http://www.spentharvests.com/templates/school_chapter.dwt
This file is not found by the browser.
Even this file -
http://www.spentharvests.com/Templates/school_chapter.dwt
(the templates folder name should always have an initial cap)
The code on the child page appears nominal. But at the
bottom, you have
this -
<div id="copyright">© 2007
spentharvests.com</div>
<embed name="CS1195492309000" src="../bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
<embed name="CS1195506747203" src="bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
The sound file is linked TWICE, and only the second link is
correct. So in
the template, change it to this -
<div id="copyright">© 2007
spentharvests.com</div>
<embed name="CS1195506747203" src="/School/bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
(i.e., a root relative link directly to the sound file)
and see if that helps.

Flash Looped Sound in Dreamweaver

Created a flash movie with music in a sound layer set up for
looping. When it is published, the .swf file is placed in
Dreamweaver site. The Flash tests correctly in Flash with the
sound, but when played in the browser, it sounds like the sound is
duplicated or one overlaying the other. I right clicked the flash
and unchecked the "Play" button. That stopped the play of the movie
and at the same time corrected the sound like a layer was taken
off. I don't know what's wrong. I created a Dreamweaver site to
learn it and Flash.

Adding Sound in Dreamweaver CS6?

Can anyone tell me how to add a sound, which will play and loop to a mouse down behavior in CS6 please?
The behavior has been removed since CS5!

Adding sounds to Dreamweaver Spry Menus

Is there a way to add custom audio sounds to the spry menu so
that when someone visits the website and puts their cursor over the
menu item they can hear a custom audio play?

There is a way to do just about everything but think about
how annoying this will be for visitors that don't want to hear this
(and would rather be listening to music or other audio from their
PC). These little bells and whistles do nothing to enhance user
experience and can only result in driving away business. But if you
are determined, search the web for roll over sounds.

Add sound to image button (in swf to add to Dreamweaver)

Someone
PLEASE help...
I have been trying to do what I thought would be a simple
task. I am creating my first website (www.crypticart.com) in DW8. I
want to add short sound clips I have recorded of the bells and
chimes to the images I have created for the top navigation;
specifically here:
http://www.crypticart.com/intro.asp. I have tried every way
I can determine in DW without success.
I found a reference on Adobe's website which suggested
creating in Flash a .swf file that contains the .mp3 or .wav sound
file, then importing this into DW8.
Unfortunately, I cannot find instructions that are clear
enough for me to accomplish (I am very new to Flash). I have tried
a DW extension (insert sound), but that didn't work.
It seems like this should be something easily to accomplish.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated![b/]
email: [email protected]

tliszt,
Couldn't you just re-create the navbar in Flash? Then, you
could just use the "Linkage" option. I used this method to play
music when the mouse is rolled over a movieclip. Here is my music
page:
http://www.theclownship.com/music.htm
Hope that will help. I used Dreamweaver & Flash8

How to place a sound and player in dreamweaver?

After a while I make a website again and I forgot what the
best way is to place a soundfile (MP3) in a webpage in dreamweaver.
Important is that the sound can loop and that there is a player in
the page to turn the sound off.
I tried 'insert flash video' in dreamweaver after I encode
the soundfile/ a song in Flash encoder.
Afterwards I insert it in the page in Dreamweaver and I chose
the Corona skin 1. By testing the page in firefox I heard the sound
but I didn't see the player. What's wrong?
Is there a better way to put a soundfile in a page than
flash? It doesn't have to be flash, as long as the sound plays and
there is a player to turn it off

Have a look at Wimpy audio player or the Wimpy Button. This
will work well
even if visitor doesn't have an mp3 audio player installed on
their system.

Sound "leaks" in Dreamweaver CS3 page

How can I fix the performance of .mp3 files on this page:
http://www.multiminds.org/history/syllabus.html
The page plays fine in Foxfire. But when opened by Safari,
Opera, and, I think, IE, the sounds (on content pages reached by
spry tabs) seem to "spill" out and play in part from first to last
before the page returns to the sounds I intended it to play first.
Would converting the .mp3 files to .swf files or some other format
help? Something else? Thanks for any guidance you can
provide.

> so I'm applying the behavior to the <td> tag.
Don't. Events applied to anything other than an <a> tag
will usually
produce unreliable and unexpected results. Seems like you are
experiencing
one. Your code below looks fine.
To do this the most dependable way, make the trigger cell
contain an anchor
to which the mouseover event and behavior is applied.

If you really want it, it's listed under the ~Deprecated
submenu of the
Behaviors panel. It was moved there because it uses invalid
code and
doesn't work in many standards-compliant browsers.

Dreamweaver 8: Bei Sounds abspielen den Player unterdrücken?

Wenn ich mit Dreamweaver 8 die Funktion "Sounds abspielen" auf meiner Internetseite einsetze, dann wird beim Abspielen im browser immer ein neues Fenster geöffnet und ein Player erscheint.
Kann man das unterdrücken oder gibt es da Alternativen?
Ich möchte gerne auf einem Bild in zwei areas zwei unterschiedliche Geräusche starten. Dazu muss der Player aber im Hintergrund laufen, sonst sieht man ja das Bild nicht mehr, sobald der sound läuft.
Schönen Dank für Euer Interesse
Götz

Nochmal danke.
Ich hab's jetzt geschafft, und zwar mit dem flowplayer. Ich kann zwar kein javascript, aber wenn ich die Größe des Players auf 1px einstelle, dann sieht man den Player absolut nicht.
Das andere Problem war, den flowplayer zu starten aus einem Bild. Das hab' ich gelöst, indem ich zwei verschiedene Ebenen über das Bild gelegt habe, jeweils bestückt mit durchsichtigen .png Bildern. Wenn ich jetzt eine der Ebenen (= leere durchsichtige .png - Flächen) anklicke, kommt das dazu gehörende Geräusch (mp4 geht auch, nicht nur mp3). Das heißt, ich hab' das, was ich will, nämlich in einem Bild durch anklicken verschiedener Bereiche die dazu gehörigen Geräusche generieren.
Das funktiert sogar so, dass jeweils das andere Geräusch immer abgeschaltet wird. s. Anlage.
Den flowplayer gibts bei flowplayer.org oder so ähnlich.
Schönen Gruß und Danke

Dreamweaver cs 5.5 adding sound on mouse over

I am wondering if I am missing something in 5.5, I remember being able to add a sound on mousover through the behaviours panel, but I can't seem to find that option anymore. When I click the plus sign I do not see the add sound option.

This link should tell you about it 'officially'
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7ffba .html?PID=2159997#WS753df6af718a350a6d6db2681338b2942bc-7fea

I know this sounds ridiculous, but do you have to have Fireworks and Dreamweaver to create a website?

Many years ago, I had a copy of fireworks and dreamweaver. It seemed like I only worked with fireworks and created websites, links etc. Do you have to have both and somehow they work in tandem?

My suggestion would be to forget about Fireworks, because the application's development was stopped in May 2013, and no updates are coming its way either. It is dead software, unfortunately. It is already experiencing compatibility problems on the latest Mac OS, for example, and it is only going to get worse.
To create a simple website, you have two choices: you either learn basic html and css code (as Mylenium suggested), or you use a visual editor.
I have a feeling you veer towards the visual editor solution, so here are some options:
- http://www.softpress.com/freeway-express/
- http://www.kompozer.net/
- Web Design Software by Xara: Xara Web Designer
- Adobe Muse
... or install WordPress through your host (most web hosts offer a one-click install option), choose a nice template from the tens of thousands available online, and start adding content.
