Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

Greetings,
Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

Unable to Insert Adobe Edge Animate files into Dreamweaver CS6!

I have just tried the new Insert Edge Media feature in the new Cloud version of Dreamweaver CS6, but I can't get it to work!!
I have the option, but all the files in the Edge folder are unhighlighted (grey'd out) and I am unable to select anything Edge has published. I have noticed that the file extension has recently changed from .edge to .an with the launch of Animate.. Is this the problem?
Its a shame as its really quite tricky to put edge stuff into a web page at present..
Any ideas?
Wesley

Do you have an HTML5 web document open?
Below are instructions from the DW CS6 Reference document
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/dreamweaver_reference.pdf
Import Edge Animate compositions | Creative Cloud
This feature is available for Creative Cloud members and point product subscribers only.
You can import Adobe Edge Animate compositions (OAM files) into Dreamweaver. The composition is placed at the location of the cursor. Dreamweaver extracts the contents of the imported OAM file to a folder named edgeanimate assets. You can change the default location in the Site Setup dialog.
1. Ensure that your cursor is at the location where you want to insert the Edge Animate composition.
2. Select Insert > Media > Edge Animate Composition.
3. Navigate to the location in your computer containing the OAM file, and open it. The animation is placed at the specified location.
By default, the contents of the OAM file are extracted to the edgeanimate_assets folder. A sub folder with the name of the file is created. The contents of the OAM file are placed in the Assets folder under this location.
You can place Edge Animate Compositions into individual pages not part of any site. The files are extracted to the location of the page.
Location of extracted files
     A. The edgeanimate_assets folder
     B. The folder created using the file name of the OAM file
     C. The Assets folder containing the extracted files
4. Preview the inserted Edge Animate composition in a browser or in the Live View.
Change default location for extracted files
1. Open the Site Setup dialog for your site.
2. Under Advanced Settings, select Edge Animate Assets.
3. In Asset Folder, modify the location for extracted files

Help please copying, importing files into Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am having trouble imporitng files into dreamweaver from Godady. What is my best route.
I downloaded Filezilla and connect my ISP, Hosting and passwords and successfuly my files loaded to filezilla.
I am perplexed at the next step as to how to get my files from FileZilla to Dreamweaver.
I am connected with the hosting, isp and file server as it shows in the box on the right.
I simply at the end of the day just want to make a few edits to content.

You can create a site in DW and download all the files using the "Get" action...
In DW go to Site > New Site
Give it a name (and an http address if you want)
When it asks "Where on your computer do you want to store your files? you can use the default folder it creates, or browse to a specific place
Next enter in all of your FTP info (like Filezilla)
Once you're finished, you should be presented with a FILES tab that shows your new empty folder.
Click the little extension cord plug-in icon on the left of that palette. This will connect to your site. Once connected, you can click the "Get" button, it's the down arrow in the same pallette.
This will download your entire site to your desktop as it currently exists. From here on out, you just modify your local file, then connect and "Put" the changed files.

How do I go about transferring files from Dreamweaver CS4 to Dreamweaver CC?

How do I go about transferring
files from Dreamweaver CS4 to Dreamweaver CC?

If both versions are on the same hard drive, simply tell DW CC where your site files are located on your hard drive. Go to Site > New Site and define your site.

Problems Importing Files Into Dreamweaver

I have previously imported files in Dreamweaver by dragging them from my desktop & dropping them into my websites local files. Suddenly today, I can't get any files to import into Dreamweaver. I am using Dreamweaver 13.2 on a Mac with OS 10.9.2.

Nothing. I drag the files from my desktop to the target folder in Dreamweaver, and nothing happens. I have tried shutting everything down & bringing it all back up, and I have also tried re-saving the file to the desktop. I was putting an html file into Dreamweaver when I noticed it wasn't working, so I tried a Word doc & PDF, all with same results. Out of desperation, I just tried re-synching my website, but (as I expected), nothing changed.

Video is not scaling properly when importing a flv file into dreamweaver

Hi I have recently imported a flv video into dreamweaver and i have specified the width and height (including skin size) but i keep getting white margins at the bottom or the top of the video. It has nothing to do with the css because ive checked and when i change the size of the video in the html file it worked for some browers - google chrome, firefox but still had the white border on internet explorer. I dont understand why different browers are rendering a video width and height different and whats causing the white borders to be there in the first place. Can anyone help me with this?
I have spent two weeks trying to sort this out after failing to add a clickable thumbnail to play the video as the video image on the site is black which doesnt look very good. Is there any way that i can choose the thumbnail that flash player decides to feature for the video? I know you can do this with youtube videos.
website in question - www.juanajimenezflamenco.co.uk/videos.html

I just don't see any white border on the right hand videos... if the problem continues, post a screen shot of what you are seeing. Also, 250 x 199 is not a 4:3 aspect ratio... 250/4 = 62.5, 62.5x3= 187.5.... so you are off by 11 pixels or so. Correct height for a 250 wide video shot at 4:3 aspect ratio, is 188px.
Now on the left hand YouTube videos, the controls are under the video, not over the top of the video as the right hand videos are... so the height of the <object>.... not the video itself... the <object> needs to be tall enough to hold the video and the controls (video height + controls height).
And since you are working in standard 4:3 aspect ratio video, you need to be careful to select the correct pixel shape, square or rectangle when starting any video project. Your video editing program, Premiere Elements should allow you to select between square pixels (used in computer monitors) or rectangle pixels (used in TVs). Selecting the wrong shaped pixel at the very start of the video capture process can mean distorted video once you render the project.
Because TV pixels are rectangle, slightly taller than they are wide... it doesn't take as many rectangle TV pixels to equal the same height as square computor monitor pixels. For example, when you start a video project to output to DVD (TV viewing) you would choose rectangle pixels, so a 720 x 480 video dimensions would give you the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.... for TV.... but 720 x 480 is NOT a 4:3 aspect ratio mathmatically ... 720/4=180, 180x3=540 !! So for computer monitor viewing you would select square pixels at the very start of your video capture process and capture the video at 720x540, giving you the correct video aspect ratio for viewing on monitors.
So besides setting the correct aspect ratio for the video in the <object> be sure that you started with the correct pixel shape.
This might also give you some help... or just Google "square vs rectangle pixels" for more info:

Insert Photoshop Web Gallery swf file into Dreamweaver

So i tried to take a shortcut, and created a flash photoshop
web gallery and placed the "gallery.swf" file into my html file in
Dreamweaver. However, it is showing a blank white screen (i'm
guessing it can't find the images?) but when I view it on my hard
drive, it is working fine, just not in dreamweaver or any browser,
even after I upload to my server. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated!! I've also tried pasting the body html code from
"index.htm" that photoshop creates, as well as move my image files
to the root folder where the swf is, but that doesn't work either.
I have my scripts in the same directory, and not in
subfolders.

Kizat727 posted in macromedia.dreamweaver:

> www.micromediapubs2.com/dyers/portfolio.html
That page is very different from the code you posted and I
know nothing
about Geoff Stearns' FlashObject code.
For the above link, I see nothing in the source code that
attempts to
load a .swf file. However, it is linking to
AC_RunActiveCon.js file in
the wrong place:
GET /dyers/assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js HTTP/1.1
Referer:
http://www.micromediapubs2.com/dyers/portfolio.html
HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
The file is actually here:
/dyers/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js
So if you actually do have a page in the dyers/ folder that
links to a
.swf file, just make sure the link to the .js file is
correct.
Most likely, change this:
<script src="assets/flash/pages/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
to this:
<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

Adding a .flv file into dreamweaver

I'm wondering how I can put a .flv file into a web page. It
is not a .swf. I'm working with Dreamweaver MX 2004.
When I put my .flv video into the page, it refuses to accept
it when I want to preview. Any suggestions? Source plugins required
or something? Also, I'm working on a Mac.
The .flv file is mine, not created in flash, but pulled back
from daily motion.com where it was compressed by their servers and
is an .flv file. Is this doable?

You need a Flash file to load the Flash Video file, they are
not the
same. See this

Create files with excel including photos and transferring files to dreamweaver

i want to be able to sort the excel files, maintain a photo attached to each row and then transfer various sorted files to dreamweaver. but i do not want to have to recreate the links for each photo everytime i copy an excel file which has been sorted into a different arrangement.
can i create a collection of photos in dreamweaver or on our website and link to those photos both in excel and in dreamweaver?

How big is the Excel file? Are we talking hundreds of photos and pages of text/data? I've never been a fan of Office to HTML conversions ever since I built a page with Word 2003, and then a real web designer (I wasn't one then) showed me how flawed the Office HTML was.
I'm between jobs right now and I could take a look at this if you send me a Private Message.

Dynamic swf file into dreamweaver cs4

Good evening to all,
Can a basic slide show created in Flash cs4 using as2 to load the images dynamically be inserted into a Dreamweaver cs4 page ?
The swf file shows up but I can't figure out where to put the linking images so the 2 basic "next" and "previous" buttons work ?
Thank as always,
Fred...

When you load the swf file into the html page, that becomes the swf's reference for loading files. So if your structure has a folder containing the html file and another folder for the flash file and another folder for the images, as in...
main_folder...
     - html file
     - flash folder
          - - flash file
     - images folder
          - - image files
then you need to change where the swf file is looking for the images because when it is in the html page, that is essentially the folder it is trying to get the images to load thru.
For instance, if you originally tested using Flash with the swf file targeting the images using...
"../images/imagefile.jpg"
(or something like that... those dots confuse me at times)
and the structure is as I described, then when testing in the html file the targeting would need to be changed to...
"images/imagefile.jpg"
Just think of the swf file as living in the html file's folder as far as targeting any files it needs to load, because once it is loaded into that page, it has basically moved to that new location.

Importing Flash Catalyst file into Dreamweaver

Is it possible to import or use a swf file created in Flash Cataylst into Dreamweaver?
stevent2011

Yes, Flash Catalyst content can be used in Dreamweaver. However, the version of swfObject might be out of date. You might need to look at the object code in the html. When you publish from Flash Catalyst, there is also a main.html file that you can use a reference for the html.

Can someone help me get my sql files into dreamweaver? (Please, my site up today)

I need help getting my site into dreamweaver I have sql files and instructions from a past web designer I know. I just can't get it open because I am a nub. I am offering a shared screen to my computer though join.me https://join.me/784-748-841. My phone number is 361-523-9919.
The screen share shows my computer screen and mine only. I will share mouse control and show you the files and my problem. I will type to you through word and you can type back.
The web programer sent two files by zip called ikainica_woat.sql and localhost.sql in a folder call ikainica_woat, a program link to MAMP which I already installed and the following instructions:
"http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_mysql.htm
http://webdesign.about.com/od/dreamweaverhowtos/ss/dw_dynamic_site_2.htm
Also a great tutorial
This is one I use to connect to your database that is currently online.
Make sure all of your files are opened in dreamweaver, meaning all of
your index files and CSS files. I have included the CSS files in your
FTP folder so you can load them on your local server and see the
changes."
I am just confused. Please help this site is suppose to go up today.

Transferred from a PC to MacPro. Can I consolidate the profiles it created so I don't have multiple and get get all transferred files into my one primary profile?

I'm really new to the Macbook world and am learning as I go for sure...I migrated and uploaded my PC accounts to my Macbook Pro and now have 3 profiles on my mac has 3 profiles...one of which I don't need and would like to remove and the other two I would like to consolidate into one. How can I remove the one profile I no longer wish to have and combine the other two?
One more quick question while I have some pro's Simplistic task for some I know but my husband has an IPOD that has a TON of music on it and I thought it would be the most simplest task to upload to the mac but I am not finding it to be that easy...any quick tips or tricks in doing that?
Thanks everyone Look forward to your wisdom!

While in a Admin level account, head to System Preferences > Accounts and delete the one you don't want.
To transfer files between accounts on the same machine, log out (Apple menu) and into the account you want to move files out of.
From the Finder > Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > your present account > where the files are.
From the Finder > Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > the destination account > Public > Dropbox
Drop files into the Dropbox and when you log in that account later the file permissions will change to that user.

Embedding MP3 files into dreamweaver webpage

I've embedded mp3 files into my webpage, but every time someone opens the page, they are prompted to either open or save the file. I want the viewer to be able to play the song using the embedded player, without the prompt.

Embedded players are very old school. And it won't work for many since they need a player and appropriate browser plugins installed on their end. The modern approach is HTML5 <audio> which is widely supported by all browsers, including mobile and tablets. For an example of HTML5 audio, copy and paste this code into a new, blank document.
