Trouble placing swf file in dreamweaver

Fairly new to Dreamweaver and I've had an issue I can't figure out.
my problem is I am placing a swf file that is the same size as the frame (right term?) I'm placing it in, on a page that was built from a template I created (sliced from a Photoshop file). When I preview it, the frames around get moved and show space betwen them.
Here's the page I'm working on (also added a screen shot showing grey areas of space)
http://jagercreative.net/site1_10/JC_advertising.html
If you go to other pages within this site, you can see there is not the same issue.
It seems to work if I reduce the size of the files's dimensions (width and height) down a bit but I can't figure out why, if the swf file is the exact size as the space it is going into is, why I keep getting these spaces appearing. As far as a I know, there is no padding, V and H space or borders in the file that would cause this.
If I add a static image that is the same size, I don't have this problem.
I'm on a Mac, DW CS4 and Flash CS4
Thanks for your help in advance.

I think you can fix it without the css solution.
If you make EVERY table cel the right size (since its a static sized website shudnt be a problem) and add
border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
to it you should be safe.
My experience is that when you did not devine the excact size to every table cel youll end up with problems like this.
Try defining your <td height="your-size" width="your-size" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"></td>
Make your flash (swf) file the same size as the table cel and put it in:
embed src="movie.swf" width="your-size" height="your-size"
value="noborder"
I am pretty sure that if ALL table cels have a fixed size your problem will be solved.
Also try removing spaces and other characters that could mess up the size of the cels.
Could be only one little thing that messes up a lot.
I hope it helps.
Warm greetings
David.

Placed SWF file into dreamweaver, but it breaks up my layout.

Hello all
OK - so - warning - I am rather amateur at all this. LIke many people, I make up my own website, which I have done in the past with no problems, but this time I have come unstuck because I am trying to insert a flash swf. I have managed to get so far with my website design for the photos page (which includes a thumbnail gallery which has been made using flash) but now it is not previewing correctly.
I have designed the layout in Fireworks and that exports as an html fine and looks good in dreamweaver and also when I preview in browser.
I made a slice in Fireworks the same size as my swf and replaced that image with the swf once I had opened up the exported html file in DW. But sfter I put the swf in, when I preview in browser, the slices seem to have mucked about a bit and the images in the table (I assume) are not aligned correctly.
Please bear in mind that since I will only ever design this website, I really don't want to have to spend hours learing CSS (or whatever) though of course I aprpeciate that knowing code will help. I have had a go at learning some of it, and cannot get my head around it! If there is no obvious answer, I guess I will just figure out another way around it - but I'm hoping it is something simple.....
Here is a link to a screenshot of what it looks like when I preview (the white arrrows point out the problems)

Of course, I'll say nothing about the ill-advised use of Flash....
Then I will.   Flash is a dead web technology because the world's most popular devices don't support it. If you choose to use Flash, you're alienating people who use iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, newer Androids, and more... That's a lot of people who will never see your flash gallery.
Create a CSS Layout or use one of the pre-built layouts that comes with DW. See screenshot.
Use a jQuery image gallery instead of Flash. jQuery is well supported by all modern web devices.

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....

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?

Thank you!

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.

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.

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:

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>

Linking .swf file to Dreamweaver

Thank you soooooooo much it worked smoothly and the way I
want .
Cheers

not sure of the total scope of what you are trying to do or
have done so
far...
instead of linking to the .swf file, link to an html page
with the .swf
placed IN it.

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?

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!

You haven't told us whether you are using RH for Word or RH HTML to generate your CHM.
Please read Before You Post as it has been written to help you get a quicker reply. I will shortly be travelling and unable to pick up your reply for most of the day so unless anyone else can chip in once you advise us which, there will be a delay in helping you.

Your problem sounds like this one - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/490223?tstart=0 as there the images show in Windows Explorer but not in Project Manager or the WYSIWYG.
You say
When I generate the chm file there is mentioned that no graphic is loaded.
Do you mean there is an error message? What exactly does it say?

Re-positioning a swf file in dreamweaver?

Hi,
I am Graphic designer currently learning the ropes of webdesign..so this may be a noobish question as i have NO IDEA when it comes to html code...
I created a design in photoshop and saved my pages, images slices etc in html and opened it in dreamweaver.
My Problem is... i have a "swf flash slide show file" which i want to re-position roughly in the center of the html page, which for the life of me i cannot do!
I have tried aligning it center etc...but the swf file only seems to move around the edges of my html page.
Is it possible for the swf to be centered within my html page.
Here is the Dreamweaver code I have currently :
<html>
<head>
<title>Natina_Web_12</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #1b1b1b;
</style>
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body leftmargin="50" topmargin="50" marginwidth="5" marginheight="5">
<div align="center">
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="800" height="375">

      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
      
      <div>
        <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
        <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>

</html>
Any HELP would be greatly appreciated
THANKS

Complete code below, copy and paste into new Dreamweaver document, and save to your site folder. One point I can't help thinking that at 1600px wide your main image is too wide, most will have to scroll right to see the whole page. I would limited the width to around 980px.

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
