Trouble Moving Files in Dreamweaver (CS3)

Hi,
Having a real problem maneuvering some files around.
At the moment I have my index.html file which links to a folder called 2009website, which contains 4 folders each with a mini site in.
So for instance the index file is pointing to 2009website/design/print.html
and also
2009website/business/clientportfolio.html
etc, etc.
What I want to do is take those 4 mini sites outside of the 2009website folder so that my index file points to:
design/print.html
and
business/clientportfolio.html
So I've moved the folders in my Files Panel and clicked "Update links" in the dialog box which seemed to work nicely. Only problem is all the images and css links within the HTML are still looking in the 2009website folder, i.e.
2009website/design/css/design.css (and there's nothing in that folder anymore)
Is there anyway I can remove the 4 folders and have the internal links update so they drop the 2009website/ and just look for the relevant folder and file?
I know it's my own fault for putting everything inside the 2009website folder when there was no real need to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you say you updated the links and everything seems to be ok - do you see any broken links within DW design view itself?
If the files are pointing to that particular folder for the images and the css, but there is Nothing in the folders, then there is a major issue I think.
This means that the updating of the links didn't work as you expected - if the files are not in the relevant folders, but the images and css are pointing to them, then you should be seeing broken links...
What you could try:
Backup what you have now - so it doesn't get any messier :-) (hopefully you have a backup copy of the original before you starting moving files !)
If you are sure that the files are all within the root of the site and not within that 2009 folder, then maybe do a find and replace and remove the beginning of the url, so that it points to where you moved the files to. Try it on one page and see if it makes a difference.
You could also try and move around the images folder and the css folder and see if you get a pop up with DW asking if you want to update the links and see what happens.
Another idea - do you have an images folder defined in the site definition?
Other than that, I'm not sure what else you can do.

I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive. Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. Can someone please help?

I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive. During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move. I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet. I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this. I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with. Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
Needs clarification. You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer. So which are you trying to do? Either way, sounds like a browser issue. You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

Problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to Yahoo

I am having a problem uploading files from Dreamweaver CS3 to
an FTP site on Yahoo.
The error message I get is "No response from server.

How can I work on a .ihtml file in Dreamweaver CS3?

Hello,
Can someone tell me how I can make Dreamweaver CS3 treat a
.ihtml (html based template) file like a standard .html or .htm
file? I can open the ihtml file in DW, but can only work on it in
Code View. Is there a way to make DW parse the file so I can work
with it in Design View as well? I can rename the file and work with
it, but that becomes a real pain. I've tried everything, but
nothing seems to work. Help!

Resizing FLV files in Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
I am adding videos to my websites' "videos main page", and these extra videos are going to be added to the videos currently in the flash player. I have already copied the jpg preview picture files and the flv video files into my website directory. To contain the extra data, I have already added the appropriate number of <li>'s to the index.html file of the videos folder. For each new video I have also added an <img src="...."> line to the images.xml file. The images.xml file has information regarding the id, location etc..of every video in general. It is shown below.
images.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
     <album id="videos" title="CBET Videos" description="CBET Video Gallery"
     lgPath="video_gallery/album1/videos/">
          <img src="2g_robotics.flv" id="2g_robotics" vidpreview="video_gallery/album1/videos/2g_robotics_preview.jpg" caption="2G Robotics"/>
          <img src="clearpath.flv" id="clearpath" vidpreview="video_gallery/album1/videos/clearpath_preview.jpg" caption="Clearpath"/>
          <img src="medshare.flv" id="medshare" vidpreview="video_gallery/album1/videos/medshare_preview.jpg" caption="Medshare"/>
          <img src="nalion.flv" id="nalion" vidpreview="video_gallery/album1/videos/nalion_preview.jpg" caption="Nalion"/>
          <img src="mbetcommercial.flv" id="mbetcommercial" vidpreview="video_gallery/album1/videos/mbet_commercial.jpg" caption="MBET Commercial"/>
          <img src="ocecbetcommercial.flv" id="ocecbetcommercial" vidpreview="video_gallery/album1/videos/oce_cbet_commercial.jpg" caption="OCE CBET Commercial"/>
          <img src="bostontrip08.flv" id="bostontrip08" vidpreview="video_gallery/album1/videos/boston_trip_08.jpg" caption="Boston Trip 2008"/>
     </album>
</gallery>
The only issue that I have, is that the videos themselves display in the player at a much smaller size, than the container size. I bet you could fit a three by three array of videos in my flash player. The first four img src lines are the videos that play at the correct size, and fill the flash player container, whereas the last three img src lines (the ones I added) are the videos that do not display at a correct size.
Is there any way that I can resize the flv files so that they fill the container within the flash player in Dreamweaver CS3? I primarily assumed that one can simply change the pixel dimensions (width and height) properties of the flv file itself, but apparently this is an issue regarding formatting in Dreamweaver. Online I found that one can specify pixel dimensions in the images.xml file. Does anybody have any ideas? Its probably an easy thing.
Thanks to everyone for coping with these details, and any help would be appreciated greatly.
kind regards,
Mr.V

Hi
There are a number of ways you may do this, the first would be to use the scale parameter for the flash player content, but the problem you will find is maintaining the aspect ratio and if your flv's are smaller the degradation in the quality when 'enlarging', see - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14149.html.
The second way would be to use a combination of actionscript and javascript to proportionally 'enlarge' the flv, again the above problems apply.
Finally you could change the size of the flash player to fit your 'new' flv using javascript, but this method would in all probability present layout problems for your user, a small change would be o/k, but the size of change you are talking about would not. The design would have to incorporate a fixed size div for the flash player, and resizing the player would leave a large amount of white space.
It is possible to do this using a liquid layout, but again this would cause problems with page rendering.

How do i play .mp4 files via Dreamweaver CS3??

Hi,
Using Flash CS3 the RTMP path to the .mp4 file is:
rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:sample.mp4 and it works fine to play
.mp4's, mov's etc.....
In Dreamweaver CS3 it wont accept any combination of paths.
Unlike Flash CS3 which only requires the single String,
Dreamweaver has two boxes that need to be filled in: The Server URI
field and also the Stream Name field.
Like FMS 2, where you don't name the streams folder in the
url, Dreamweaver CS3 is looking for it ie the "media folder" which
has replaced the "stream" folder.
Where in Flash CS3 you have to use the convention
mp4:sample.mp4, Dreammeaver will not accept anything.
Any help here would be appreciated

I assume from the silence that Dreamweaver CS3 has not been
updated to handle Flash 9 player and streaming Video from FMS 3.0
then.

Using Kuler + swatch exchange files in Dreamweaver CS3

What is the "best practice" for taking a swatch exchange file from Kuler and getting either the swatches into Dreamweaver CS3 or the html color values.
I like using Kuler to develop test color schemes for my web sites and switching css sheets to determine which colors I like best.
Right now the method I use is save the Kuler thems as swatch excange files, load the swe file into my swatch palette in photoshop, get the html values with the eye dropper tool take those values and paste into my CSS file. Is there an easier way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi rocketboy,
To get swatch values, an alternate to using the picker tool in the product is to directly use the website. You can ge the swatch values by selecting a theme in the browse view and then clicking on the make changes ot this theme button which will take you to the theme creation view with all the color values located at the bottom of the page under the corresponding swatch.

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

Adding .swf file to Dreamweaver CS3 page?

Trouble moving files in lightroom 2.5

I can't seem to resolve a problem with moving files in Lightroom 2.5. While in the program, can not drag and drop images from one folder to another. If drag and drop from IE (Windows Vista), and then go back into Lightroom 2.5, catalog does not update or recognize the move was done. I have to resync the folders every time.
Based on tutorial videos that I've watched, it should be capable of these very basic things. I'm still new to LR and learning but can't seem to get past this. Is this a bug or setup issue? Not sure what I'm missing but it's driving me nuts, would appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
Bob

I can't seem to resolve a problem with moving files in Lightroom 2.5. While in the program, can not drag and drop images from one folder to another. If drag and drop from IE (Windows Vista), and then go back into Lightroom 2.5, catalog does not update or recognize the move was done. I have to resync the folders every time.
When you want to move a photo to another folder in LR, you have to drag the thumbnail, not the rectangle around the thumbnail.
Lightroom does not find the new location of photos moved in Windows. Simply not a feature of the program. Therefore, you are best off to do the move in LR.

I don't know what tutorials you are watching, but as I said, locating files that have been moved in Windows is not a feature/capability of Lightroom. You have to point Lightroom to the new location of the photo, or better yet, move the photo in LR. Or, even better, don't move photos from one folder to another, instead browse your photos in Lightroom, using keywords, metadata and collections (instead of folders) as your method of organization.

Edit .swf file in dreamweaver cs3

hi frends i am new to adobe flash. I am using dreamweaver to edit a .swf flash file.I selected the flsh in design window then selected the "edit" button.The adobe flash cs3 opened it but i want to edit this flash. Please tell me how to edit it as i am only displayed with the flash in a window. how t edit its components like adding new pics to it or making other changes to it.

A .swf file can´t be edited with e.g. Flash CS3, because this type of file is the "end product" which is generated when exporting your work from Flash (File -> Export -> Export Movie...)
What you´ll need instead is the corresponding Flash "source file", which has the file extension .fla -- and this type of file is usually editable from Dreamweaver,

Trouble Importing files to Pro CS3 and also getting default workspace

Hi guys, I'm a newbie and only using Premiere CS3 3.2.0 (with update recently installed) I'm on a Vista-based laptop, 2.5Ghz, 4mb RAM, plenty of hard drive space.
When I start a new project in Premiere CS3, in the New Project window, I go down to XDCAM EX, (shot with Sony EX 3), and highlight 1080p. Usually I get text in the description box but right now I'm not getting anything. And when I give the project a name and click OK, I get a blank workspace; no default timeline bin or file bin or monitor windows. I get nothing.
I have files on an external 250gig IOMEGA hd. Having trouble importing these files into the project. Can anyone help with any ideas of how to get started? Thanks!
UPDATE: I'm still getting a blank workspace when opening up a new project.
I have since attempted to import files from the external HD. It appears the files transferred over but I have no idea where they went. I saw the bar accept the files but cannot find the files listed anywhere in Premiere. Can someone please help?

OK, this used to work. Is that correct? Now it does not, or appears to not work. When that happens, something has changed.
The task will be to determine what might have changed. Have you had any OS updates lately? First, these can render display drivers obsolete instantly. Though it sounds like most of your GUI is displaying fine, some updated GUI info might not be, like the Timeline and Project Panel. Check to see if you have the latest display driver.
Since you have updated to 3.2 (normally a highly recommend thing to do), I would be interested to know if this behavior started before that update, or if it started long after 3.2 worked for you. Redoing the update might be like a Repair Install. If not, I think that I would try a Repair Install to see if something has been broken along the way.
I know that none of this really points to a cause, and probably does not point to a cure.
Along the way, tell us more about your entire system, both the hardware and the software.
Last, do you happen to have Window Blinds, or have a MS mouse with an InteliPoint mouse driver? I know that sounds like a weird question, but I have my reasons.
Good luck,
Hunt

Duplicate code inserted at end of file by dreamweaver CS3 and CS5

I have been using CS3 basically since it came out and have just recently upgraded to CS5.
Previously with CS3 Dreamweaver, in approx the last 6months of use I started experiencing a random effect were any file (HTML, JS, CSS...) opened, edited, and then saved by Dreamweaver would often result in a chunk of the code to be duplicated at the end of the file.
(small example can be seen here: http://screencast.com/t/YTNmNWRmNzYt)
The more the file was edited, the larger the chunk of duplicated code would be.
Additionally, this duplicated code was not visible in Dreamweaver while that file was still open - but closing it and re-opening it (or viewing it in Notepad) would then reveal it. Deleting it from within Dreamweaver had no effect on it's removal - it remained in the file when saved.
The only way I have been working around this was to constantly close files, check them in Notepad, correct the code if needed, and then continue working or put file into production.I am running Windows 7 (64 Bit).
I have another machine with same OS and another new copy of CS5 but I have not yet been able to replicate the same issue - although I have not tested it extensively (the issue happens randomly, although quite frequently on my machine).
I have come across other similar issues posted online but many of these date back to 2007/2008.

Adobe doesn't care, they don't have to. I like Phsotoshop and have been using it professionally for 20 years, but lets face it, I wouldnt mind some really good competition from another source. It didnt use to be the only game in town, and doesnt have to remain so.
I could brainstorm how I would want competing software to look like. Pshop is not the easiest workflow possible. Illustrator is clearly deficient to even CorelDraw, and certainly Freehand. I've been meaning to reconnect with CorelDraw. It did some cool things.
Google Chrome is pulling a lot of manoevers software wise and I hope they try to go a little deeper and give Adobe a run for their money on the one program they feel justifies unbelievable gouging. Go investigate Ableton Live if you want to see what a company that cares about its customers is doing, ADOBE. Audition is a JOKE compared to Ableton Live. Thank God we're not powned on the audio side by these suits.
The idea that a company would peddle buggy software, which CS4 was..., although some of that was Apple's fault, is bad, the upgrade prices were ridiculous, and this is the end of the road for me currently. The idea that a company would actively
push away customers is pretty incredible. "But I sent you an email!" Whoops, you gotta pay $1900 for production premium CS6! HAHAHAHAHA. Time for a YT video with my old hard copy box. Sounds like a good idea.
There are too many options on the motion graphics side, and I'll keep a static machine to run Pshop and AE CS4.
The masters of the universe will have theit way, and the rest must bow to their ambivalent greed. At least that's the way they think. It would seem that Adobe and Apple really, really want some upstarts to come up. Maybe $360 for a year to figure out an exit might work. It will be interesting to see if this hits earnings. VERY interesting.

Can't open my files in Dreamweaver CS3..

The program opens but I can't open either my local or my remote files. Please help! As soon as I try to open a file, Dreamweaver crashes and i have to close it. I had a brief chance earlier today to update a couple of html pages but then it stopped working again. I have no idea what caused it. Nothing has changed on my computer that I know of. up until, this program has worked excellently for me.

Having trouble moving files to external hard drive

I have a freeagent pc&mac ext. hd that i usually use on my pc. I have used it on my mac in the past but i tried trasnfering all of the music from my macbook to my ext. hd and i got the following error message: "The item could not be moved because FreeAgent" drive cannot be modified". Does anyone know how i can resolve this issue? Thank you.

I'm guessing that you can only WRITE files onto your ext in windows. But you can only READ files in ext from mac.
FAT32 would support writing files in windows and mac, but I doubt that you can format it to FAT32.
So if you want to write files to your ext from mac, then simply reformat it using DU
