Unable to preview flv in Dreamweaver

Hi,
I have created a small slideshow in Flash, exported as an flv file then inserted into Dreamweaver CS3. The file plays fine is Flash, but doesn't preview in Dreamweaver - there is just a black space where the slideshow should be.
Any ideas, I am new to Dreamweaver so could possibly be missing a step?

This is the code that Dreamweaver brings in when I import the flv - not sure if this is any help?
<div id="flash">

Unable to insert .flv Template Child Pages

Unable to insert .flv Flash video in template pages
When you attempt to insert a Flash Video file (.flv) into a
child page created from a Dreamweaver template, you see the
following error message: "Making this change would require changing
code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will
be discarded."
The Adobe recommended solution: “ 1. Make a parent
template page that already contains the Flash Player detection
code. 2. Insert the Flash Video into the child page created from
the template, without the Flash Player detection code. To do this,
uncheck the "Prompt users to download Flash Player if necessary"
checkbox in the Insert Flash Video dialog box.”
This solution does not work. It doesn’t work because
the checkbox is grayed out - it is impossible to “…
uncheck the "Prompt users to download Flash Player … checkbox
What Can I do?
I want to uncheck that grayed out “Prompt” box.
How can I do that?

I am unable to duplicate what you are describing.
When you go to insert the flv, you Insert/Media/Flash
Video... and the box
is grayed out?
The unchecking of the box solves the problem, why yours is
doing that I dont
understand. I assume you are in an editable region in the
child?

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Does the new firefox work when previewing files from Dreamweaver?

I use Dreamweaver CS3. I always preview my pages that I build in Firefox. After just downloading the newest firefox version (3.6.10), I could no longer preview files in Dreamweaver. When I go to preview the file, it just opens a firefox the application, not my webpage within firefox. Any ideas? I even edited my browser list within Firefox, removing Firefox as one of my browser options and replacing it again.

Dreamweaver CS3 doesn't work correctly in any Firefox 3.6 version.
There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:

There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode

Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode
I have installed Xcelsius 2008 (RTM) and also Service Pack 1 / Fix Pack 1.1. Unfortunately, I can now not preview changes I made in design mode (but can see the change in design mode). In addition, if I save the changes made to the Excel spreadsheet (using this as the datasource) and then exit out of the application, then go back in, the changes have not been saved?!
I have also installed Fix Pack 1.3, but the same issues occurs.
This is causing us issues as we have developed a number of dashboards that can no longer be updated.
Please could someone advise?
Many thanks,
Neil.

I would recommend decomposing large sets into more manageable sets. For instance, if you have data for a very large regional district, decompose the data into smaller sets for sub-districts.
As for a paper, I'm not sure, but the main determinant of performance is how many cells you bind to the component. For a typical component on a typical computer, I'd recommend no more than 9000 cells. On a weaker computer less, on a stronger computer more.

Even after installing Camera Raw 4.4.1 plugin update as per installation instructions and purging central Cache...I am still unable to preview Canon 40D Raw (CR2) or Digital Negative (DNG) files on CS3 Bridge or Photoshop.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Jeff..thanks for your helpful feedback. OS used is Vista. After recieving your suggestion I confirmed that I saved the plug-in to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats - and then rebooted the system. This seemed to resolve the problem and i can now preview raw file.
Jeff, thanks again. Cheers, Doug

Where is the multiscreen preview panel in Dreamweaver CC?

Where is the multiscreen preview panel in Dreamweaver CC?

Hi Harshit, thats only for Dreamweaver upto CS6. I can't believe it theyve removed if for CC, just had it confirmed by Adobe that its 'not accessible anymore'
Really bad idea in my opinion we work on responsive sites all day and it really helped to quickly get an idea for the integrity of the design on phone, tablet and desktop at the average screen sizes. Now there is no way to see all 3 at the same time. C'mon Adobe what are you doing??????

Problems with flv and dreamweaver cs4

Hi
out of flash cs3 I generated a flv
with adobe media player all is ok I could see the flv
but when I import the flv into dreamweaver cs4 I get the picture below that means there is no flv
http://s7.directupload.net/...841/tskdqo9d_png.htm
I did this tutorial with the same result
www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial.html
what is that - what am I doing wrong ???

A picture of a ... a ... video game? ... advert means there is no flv?
How about posting the URL to your actual page rather than what ever that directupload.net image was supposed to be? It will help us to help you.
Meanwhile, I will make a simple guess based upon many similar questions.
Did you remember to upload the Scripts folder?

Unable to preview

Mac os x 10.4.11
Dreamweaver CS3
When I hit option and F12, I used to be able to preview my web pages in browser window. But now when I try to preview my pages, it automatically connects to the remote host, and then in the browser window I get the error message "404 not found The requested URL /public_html/TMPYBHRZ93P.html does not exist. " Right now I am not able to preview any pages at all; the same thing happns to every single page. I see the plugs icon get connected immediately when trying to preview. Under "Dreamweaver" "preference", I made sure that "preview with temporary file" is checked. I am managing my husband's site and there is no problem previewing his pages at all.
This problem has started 3 days ago. I have been managing my site about 1.5 years and this never happened before. What seems to be the problem?
Thank you.

I have exactly the same problem. I have about 50-60 sites i work on in Dreamweaver and now sudenly I cannot preview any of them. The only thing I can think of is that I now have a new iMac but I can preview all files if I use any other iMac. All my files are on a NAT server in the office but I've not had this problem before. I get a message saying Firefox can't find the file at /SERVER/CLIENTS/TOPAZ/Website/Website (live)/TMP9HZS7Y1J.html. It just doesnt find the temp file for some reason. I've tried trashing the dreamweaver prefs, Reassigning the browsers etc but nothing has fixed it so far.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks Colin

Hi gobill, I received your .muse file from technical support. Your file has exposed a bug. At this point I haven't diagnosed whether or not it's new in 7. Regardless, I'll work on a fix. In the meantime you can avoid this error if you define and apply graphic styles for the four states of the tabs in the accordion on your home page.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if you need further help.

Problems with FLV and Dreamweaver

Hey everyone, I'm back with another rookie issue lol
I am trying to insert flash video with a playback skin into DW. From what I have been reading, it seems simple. Inserting a .swf is no prob, but it seems doing it with a skin is a different animal. I was about to start pulling my hair out and throwing things when I decided to take a walk.
I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have an .avi that I encoded to .flv using Adobe Media Encoder. I would just import this into DW as is but I MUST have a full screen button in the playback skin, and for some ridiculous reason DW has no skins with a fullscreen button.
So, I open the .flv into Flash and choose a skin that suits my fullscreen needs. Flash then tells me that, "A Flash video component will be created on the stage and configured for local playback" when it finishes. I understand that the video skin is copied to a new .fla file that will have to be uploaded as well? I also understand that a .swf will be created for the skin that must be uploaded as well. I test the .swf that contains my video, and no problems all is as it should be.
I upload all the necessary files into my DW directory, and insert the .swf. When I go to preview in browser, it tells me "Error #2044: Unhandled skinError:. text=[IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL: SkinUnderAllNoCaption.swf"]" Is this because I am trying to sets it locally? I read that the source parameters will have to be changed to reflect the filepath on my server. Seems logical. But is this the filepath of the .fla or the .flv, or is it for the .swf that I am editing parameters for? I am just confused, if the .swf is already embedded then why do I need to upload the .flv too? I also have the .swf skin in the same folder but it won't show up in preview either.
I guess my problem in a nutshell is, why won't my skin show up, and which files need to be uploaded? I am lost on this. I am following instructions on all of the tutorials I read, but it just doesn't seem to be working for me.
If anyone has any suggestions for me, I would gladly accept them! As always, much appreciation for reading and for offering any advice!
Thanks,
Jayson

"I understand that the video skin is copied to a new .fla file that will have to be uploaded as well?"
The *.fla is the project file and should not be uploaded.
I do this kind of thing regularly at work so... First, you should create a folder with a good descriptive name, lowercase with underscores between words. Place your fla and flv in that folder. Create a new Flash document in the folder you just created and go "File" - "Import" - "Import Video". As you click through the Wizard select the video controller in the "Skinning" section. Next under "Modify" - "Document" select the background color you want. Then size the document so the video with controller just fits.
Go to "File" - "Publish Setings" and hit the "HTML tab. Make sure that "Flash Only - Allow Full Screen" is selected.
Hit "Publish" and make sure that you "Publish" to the folder you created.
Open the HTML file that was exported from Flash with Notepad. Carefully select the honkin Javascript that is within the head tag and copy it to clipboard.
Next open the html file that you created n Dreamweaver that will be your video page and paste this Javascript into the same place (inside the head tag).
Next copy and paste the following code from your Flash generated HTML document into the Dreamweaver video page:
:



<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

Next upload the folder with the Dreamweaver generated video html page you want your site visitors to see, minus the FLA file. Everything should work.

Issue: Cannot preview FLV on any browser on Intel Based Mac (10.5.5)

Issue:
FLV file is not displayed on the browser when previewed.
Instead, the Clear_Skin_1.swf is displayed. (Safari 3.1.2, Firefox
3.0.2)
How to reproduce:
When you insert a .FLV file on an HTML Doc.
(Insert>Media>FLV) and preview it on the browser
(File>Preview in Browser) then Clear_Skin_1.swf is displayed
instead of the FLV playing.
*note: going on live view within Dreamweaver CS4 plays the
video.
Environment:
Dreamweaver CS4
Mac OS 10.5.5
Safari 3.1.2
Firefox 3.0.2
***Actions i did so far***
1. I tried to export the site definition and import all the
files to the windows platform. (Scripts folder containing
expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js which is automatically
generated in dwcs4, the HTML document with the flv file,
Clear_Skin_1.swf, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf)
2. Previewing the same HTML doc in windows do not produce the
same problem which is happening on Mac. The FLV plays without any
problem.
3. Recreated Preference files and Configuration files but to
no avail. (Mac)
Anybody else getting this issue? Anyone has an Intel Based
Mac who can try to reproduce the issue on their end? Can this be a
possible bug? Conflict with the OS? Browser issue? Any response
will be appreciated.
Happy Holidays.

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.6
and in just the past 2 weeks deployed almost a dozen FLV movies and
they all worked perfectly on the www in all browsers, so I don't
think it's related to your Mac, OSX, or browser, and I don't
believe it's a bug of any kind since it's not recreated for all
people.
I know that's not much help, but at least you can eliminate
all of those things. Make sure you've uploaded all of the files
required for the movies, and you are using the best coding
practices for enconding FLV videos and adding to pages. Let's take
a closer look at an example of code used for FLVs:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="218"
height="159" id="FLVPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=movies/CEO_vid eo&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=true"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="218" height="159">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=movies/CEO_vid eo&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=true"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
<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" /></a></p>
</div>

</object>

</object>
Note in this example, there are many more include files
needed than just the clear skin swf. FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf,
expressInstall.swf, and also the stream name of the movie which
tells it where to find the movie. Point I'm getting at, be sure to
double check everything to make sure you have included everything,
and they are all where they are suppose to be. I think that should
solve the problem for you.

Previewing ASPX in Dreamweaver 8

I would like to preview ASPX files locally in Dreamweaver 8.
I suspect you need additional software other than Dreamweaver 8 and
an ASPX file to do this. Am I wrong? Could it be possible that I am
just not doing the TEST SERVER setup correctly?
So
1- Do I need extra software installed?
2- If not, what is the easiest way to set it up so
complicated path names etc don't muck up the solution?
Thanks!

It doesn't work like that, sorry.
You should have this folder structure:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\
That is the root of your testing server, or it should be
something like
that, have a look in the IIS manager and see what is set as
the home
directory. That is where you want to put your aspx files.
Then, when you browse to:
http://127.0.0.1 or
http://youripaddress or
http://yourcomputername
(this is your testing URL in your site definition)
IIS will server the pages to you. In IIS you can set the
default page
that gets served when you don't specify one.
This might help you understand it better:
