Swf preload in dreamweaver?

hi all,
i'm creating a website using dreamweaver. and i would like to insert a preload before the main website comes up. can i put a preload made in flash before entering the main website made in dreamweaver?
thanks a lot for your help!
Cheers,
SLLIM

Sure, why not? Those are called "Splash" pages, and are regular web pages, not simply Flash files. And as far as I know, the only "preload" about them is that they are the landing page for the site (index.html, for instance).
Use your normal page-building technique and incorporate your Flash in that.

after adding a flashfile .swf into a dreamweaver page and trying to run it, I get an error message related to Javascript
I have no trouble viewing other websites with (most likely), flashfiles.
Here is the the PopUp message:
"Adobe-warning Adobe Flash PLayer has stopped a potentrially unsafe operation......"

In newer versions of Flash Pro, you can export to HTML5 Canvas, that's probably what they're talking about: Flash Professional Help | Creating and publishing an HTML5 Canvas document
.FLV and .SWF are Flash formats that won't show up on iOS (or an ever increasing number of other mobile devices). Mobile Flash was killed by Adobe a couple years ago, so the number of mobile devices that can see it is dwindling rapidly, don't use those formats if you want your viewers on mobile devices to see your content.

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....

External swf. preloader blues

Hiya,
I've just finished a website which is nearly ready to go
live, all except the preloader. I need to have external swfs
preload before running, and after going through a few tutorials and
threads, I'm pretty sure that my website is constructed in such a
way as to make it difficult to impliment the tutorials into my
work.
I've attached 2 fla. files (the main parent and one of the
external files. ), and would be really greatful if someone could
take a look at them and let me know how I could create a preloader
for the exteranl files (in the attachement's case the
"visual.fla").
Thanks a million for your time.
...Probably obvious, but the visual.swf is launched when the
"visual" button is pressed on the main home.swf.
Cheers!

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.

Preload SWF's in Dreamweaver

Is it possible to preload a SWF movie (instead of images)
using the Preload images in the Behaviors panel in Dreamweaver MX
2004? If not, is there a Javascript or an Extension that can do
this...so that the same SWF movie (present in multiple .html files)
won't play everytime the surfer clicks on a new URL or webpage?
Thanks for looking to resolve my quandary.

Nope. The only way to solve that problem would be to use
Frames. Ew.

White square for .swf file in dreamweaver site

Hi
Apologies if this is a very basic question.
I have built a dreamweaver site and embedded a .swf file (a
slideshow of photos created in flash) into the page.
When I view the page online, the .swf file takes a few
seconds to load, and while it is loading I get a white square where
the slideshow should be (the dreamweaver and flash documents have a
black background).
Question - how do I either
a) get the white square to be black
b) get a loading bar to show that the flash video is loading
Many thanks

Thanks so much Tom - I now have a black background!
The only problem is that my .swf is taking ages (8-10sec) to
load and now its all the same it looks like nothing is happening!
I have looked at the preloader threads and customised a
preloader, but I can work out from the search results/threads what
to do with it.
How do i link the preloader into my .swf file. Do I need to
know actionscript (I dont!) to do this? (I have Studio 8)
The other gist I picked up from the threads is its better to
avoid the preloader all together. I'm creating a photography
website - hence big .swf - but do you have any hints for optimising
the .swf - the flash publish compression is all I've used so far
Many thanks

Problem Loading .swf buttons on dreamweaver?

I animated 4 flash buttons in one .fla file. When you rollover each button, an animation should play. However, when I preview the .swf in Dreamweaver, the rollover buttons only work HALF the time. I tried putting a preloader on the .fla file as well as toggling the quality to low in the original .fla, but it still only works half the time??

How have you designed the buttons/animations? What code is used?

I can't run swf files in dreamweaver cs6, they place in the page fine, but can't be viewed.

I've created an animation .swf file in Flash and inserted it on a new webpage. When I go to view it in live mode, it's blank. When I view it in the IE browser I keep getting a message that I need a newer version of Adobe Flash player, which is not the case, and even going through the install process doesn't help. When uploaded, it doesn't appear on the webpage. This is Dreamweaver in the CS6 release on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The animation file runs fine when viewed from the original folder, but does not funciton (blank screen) when opened from the copied file Dreamweaver puts in the site folder. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Also, is there a way to loop a .flv file? This could be a work-around if I can't resolve the .swf issue.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Mark

Hi Jon,
Unfortunately not. The website is actually an HTML module logded in a third party program. Even in the development stage though I can't see the .swf file in either the live mode or by viewing with IE. Flash video files play fine as have the other graphics I've incorporated. It seems like a file is missing to make the .swf animation work properly. When I copied the file over from the original folder, Dreamweaver also placed "expressInstall.swf " and "swfobject_modified.js" in a scripts folder. I'm wondering if there should be another or different file to make this work.

Adding multiple swf files to Dreamweaver

I'm trying to upload multiple .swf files to my website with
no luck. I've done this with previous versions of Dreamweaver but
with CS3 I'm finding it won't happen. I've done the Insert ->
Media -> Flash action as before and exported my files to be read
in Adobe Player 8 but nothing then happens after the files have
been uploaded yet locally everything works fine. I've uploaded a
scripts file also but all of the .swf files are linked from
different folders, could this have any effect?
What am I doing wrong?
Chris.

Generally making sure that the SWFs are at the remote
location where you think they are supposed to be (and where the
code thinks they are supposed to be) as well as making sure that
the active content JavaScript file(s) are uploaded and are present
where the page is expecting them to be. Beyond that, for anyone to
see what is wrong with your page(s), you have to post a link to
your page(s).

Missing Images in swf file in dreamweaver

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me. I made a image slide show
in Flash (CS3) and wanted to put in in Dreamweaver (CS3). I
published the file in flash and went over to dreamweaver and did
the insert - media - flash command and added the .swf
When I test the movie, the buttons and the frame shows up but
not the images. Any ideas on why? When I test the html file, it
works fine. When I test the movie its self, it works fine too. Its
only when it is in the Dreamweaver file do the images disappear.
1. I have the required AC_RunActiveContent.js. file with my
swf.
2. I tried copying the code from the html file that was
generated by my swf, but when I test the file in dreamweaver, an
error comes up saying that i need the AC_RunActiveContent.js.
3. I have flash files on the site that work just fine, it is
just this one that is being stupid. I published it as flash version
7, 8 and 9. Nothing works.
Thanks for your help in advance!
