Using a nav bar with Dreamweaver in Catalyst

I am trying to create just a navigation bar in Catalyst like you might in flash with animated rollovers. Then export the swift to use in a dreamweaver set of pages.
The problem I am having is trying to get the page destination set up correctly. All I can find in Catalyst is Go To URL, which would be ok but it will not let me remove the Http//
So if I fire this up in Dreamweaver, embed it, and test. It looks like a virus because its trying to go outside the parent directory of the site.
Is there a way to make relative paths, I guess is my question?

In the current version, no. If you have Flash Builder installed ( or just load up the trial), you could go into code and change the urls in there manually. One word of caution is the Flash Catalyst files tend to larger files than one can create in Flash Professional alone. If you are just using Flash Catalyst to create a nav bar, you might be better to develop it in Flash Professional. But, if you need to prototype it fast and get your client to sign off on the design, then Catalyst is a prefect solution.

  • I have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code?

    i have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code? thank you!

    i inherited the website. It’s for a non-profit and is not very
    sophisticated, and neither am I in webdesign. It currently has multiple
    pages that are identical except for that body section, so whenever i change
    the navigation (in the sidebar) I have to update every html page.  I want
    to have one basic page, and just call in the different body content based
    on the link the user selects from the nav bar. How can i do that using a
    script? i am using Dreamweaver.

  • I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

    I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
    The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
    Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
    One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
    iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

  • Using the nav bar to link to another page.

    It is possible to use the nave bar to link to another page such as a blog?
    Example:
    Welcome About Me My Photos Blog (linked to external blog such as blogger)

    If you want the link to the external page to appear in the default navbar then do the following:
    1 - create a blank page and name it the way you want it in the navbar.
    2 - add an HTML Snippet to that page with the following code in it:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "URL TO THE EXTERNAL PAGE"; </script>
    What this does is automatically redirect the viewer to the external page when the link in the navbar is clicked on.
    My Demo Sites are setup this way. The Contents page for each site is redirected to a separate Contents site which contains the index of all the pages in the three demo sites. That way I only have to change the index on the Contents site instead of doing it for each site individually.
    If you want the other page to open in a new window you'll have to create a separate text based hyperlink and use the Inspector/Link pane to link the text to it and check the open in new window option. If you need to have that in the navbar you can create a texbased navbar, hide the default one and set your links as needed in the Inspector/Link pane. This is a demo page of a Text Based Navbar.

    Hi Ranendra,
    For basic understanding of Dashboards and Models you can use standard Templates or samples which ll come along with dashboard designer(Formly Xcelsius) installation.
    For path   File-->Templates(or Samples).
    Under Templates you ll have different categories and for each you ll find the dashboard Templates.

  • Flash Nav Bar in Dreamweaver

    I want to create an animated nav bar in Flash, that will
    remain in the left frame of my Dreamweaver doc while it opens pages
    in the main frame. It looks like the proper way to do it is assign
    the links to the buttons in Flash, but how do you tell Flash which
    frame to load the page into in the html doc?

    If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
    1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
    2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
    not be spidered
    3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
    will those users
    do?
    4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
    move or rename
    a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
    It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

  • Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
    First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
    Here is some information...
    1) I am running Windows XP SP2
    2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
    3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
    4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
    If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
    Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Musicman1994

    The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
    Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
    I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

  • I have created a Fireworks nav bar with drop down menus. Can't get the weblinks to save.

    I have been trying to add the web addresses in my Fireworks nav bar drop down menus. I can't get them to "take". I add the address, click done and some of them save and some don't. I am pulling my hair out! HELP!

    the easiest way is constructing your menu with frame labels
    now i have no way of knowing how you are constructing it ..so
    this may not work for you ...i assume that you have created a main
    button ...that has been converted into a symbol & then
    duplicated to create all other buttons
    okay here it goes ..i hope i dont confuse you
    i will explain how to create 1 button with 4 submenu items
    with the trems that i mentioned above
    but iam not going to explain all the details of creating a
    whole nav bar
    because it just takes too much typing ...i assume you already
    know this
    sooo ! ...lets say this is the Portfoio button ...inside the
    symbol now
    create 8 layers ...the order is going from top to bottom
    actions
    labels
    submenu Logos
    submenu Illustration
    submenu Animation
    submenu Coolstuff ."you will name your button items how you
    like" ...
    main button....lets just say Portfolio !
    invisible btn for main button
    so now on with the hard stuff
    create 20 frames ...stop action on frame 1 ...frame 9
    ...frame 20
    on the labels layer now ....name frame1 "Closed" ...frame 10
    "Open"
    on the submenu Logos layer ...create a keyframe on frame 10
    all frames before the 10th frame will be blank frames
    repeat that for the rest of the submenu items
    on the main button layer you will just place the main
    Portfolio button on frame 1
    & on the invisible button layer ..the inv btn is going to
    be placed on frame 10
    all this is iam hoping your have converted everything into1
    symbol
    all you need to do know is attach code to the main Portfolio
    button & the invisible button
    so click on the Portfolio button
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndStop("open");
    invisible button
    on (rollOver){
    gotoAndPlay("closed");
    & that should be good ...very simple !
    then just repeat this process for every button that makes up
    your nav bar ....& it doesn't matter if your inv buttons
    overlap each other or your main nav buttons are touching each other
    peace John

  • How do you turn off Flash audio when using captivate Nav bar?

    Hi Guys and Girls
    I have an imported flash file that plays an audio track,
    I have no problem turning the audio off, when the user uses
    the button within the flash file to go to the next slide in the
    captivate movie...
    on(release){
    stopAllSounds();
    _root.rdcmndNextSlide = 1;
    BUT if the user decides to use the navigation bar within the
    captivate movie it all goes pair shape.. The flash audio continues
    to play into the next slide. Anyone have a know how to solve this
    problem?
    How do you tell flash to stop playing the audio when using
    the captivate navigation bar?
    (The flash file is a flip book and the audio NEEDS to stay
    within the flash file)
    Cheers
    Aquil0

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This totally solved my issue. I had a Captivate 4 movie using an embeded animation that had audio. It would play the audio again when the next slide appeared. I have to use Captivate 4, because my audience still uses Flash 7 (yikes). However, if you have Captivate 5 and are having this problem there is a widget that solves this issue: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/animations-%E2%80%93-audio-sync-issue.html#commen t-3872

  • How to use a progress bar with java mail?

    Hi, i'm new here.
    I want if someone can recommend me how to show a progress bar with java mail.
    Because, i send a message but the screen freeze, and the progress bar never appear, after the send progress finish.
    Thanks

    So why would the code we post be any different than the code in the tutorial? Why do you think our code would be easier to understand? The tutorial contains explanations about the code.
    Did you download the code and execute it? Did it work? Then customize the code to suit your situation. We can't give you the code because we don't know exactly what you are attempting to do. We don't know how you have changed to demo code so that it no longer works. Its up to you to compare your code with the demo code to see what the difference is.

  • Is there a way to use a progress bar with Xerces XML Parser?

    My program is parsing very long XML files that take several minutes to parse. I am using Xerces as the parser. I would like to use a progress bar to show the progress, but I haven't found any way to get Xerces to give progress updates. Is this possible?

    Use teh SAX parser and listen to SAX events. Example:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    //jaxp-api.jar:
    import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
    import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;

  • How do I create a horizontal nav-bar with CSS, set to an exact width?

    I have a problem that I need help with. All I need to do is
    to create a simple text-based horizontal navigation bar using CSS.
    I have seen many CSS tutorials online about how to make a
    horizontal navigation bar using unordered lists, but they all seem
    to either set the bar to be centred or to the full width of the
    page, or if they do set it to be a certain width, then the buttons
    within that width are centred within pre-defined widths for each
    one.
    Unfortunately none of these help me - let me explain my
    scenario...
    I have an area that is exactly 700px wide. In this area I
    want to put 5 text hyperlinks.
    I want the first text-link to be aligned to the left of my
    700px width, and I want the last text-link to be aligned to the
    right of the 700px width.
    I want the spaces between each of these text-links to all be
    the same.
    The only definite known width is the overall 700px. I will
    not know the width of each text-link, as (a) they are all live
    text, and (b) the phrases for each could change.
    I have mocked up a quick diagram showing in more detail
    precisely what I mean:
    http://www.nothowitlooks.com/temp/navbar.gif
    Can anyone please help me with this?

    Only in your fantasy. In practice there are always some
    limits enforced
    by the used material or technology. You simply can't violate
    such basic
    rules and laws, even if you would like to.

    It always looks good on paper, but not every design can be
    turned into
    practice. This not only applies to web design, but to almost
    every kind
    of development. Often enough you have to find compromises or
    workarounds
    if the engineers say "won't work". The problem is that many
    designers
    don't understand this or don't want to. They're just thinking
    and living
    in their perfect theoretical world, but have no idea of how
    things work
    in the real world. And many theoretical things simply don't
    work there.
    Each medium has its own rules and laws. Some things may work
    well for a
    printed paper for example, but not in the Web and vice versa.
    Of course
    you can try to break these rules, but you'll definitely fail.
    >You should not compromise your
    >design because of a lack of coding knowledge.
    It's not lack if coding knowledge if you refuse to try things
    that are
    impossible or don't make sense. It's quite the opposite,
    because you
    don't have to waste your time with something that won't work
    at all.
    >If you don't know how to do it
    >yourself, then find out how to do it (which is what I was
    *originally* trying
    >to do here, remember?).
    Quite easy. Surf the web, and if you see something like what
    you want,
    just have a look at the source code or post the URL here. If
    it can be
    done, then it already has been done. Just show us an example
    and we'll
    happily explain it to you.
    > Secondly, no, a client does NOT have to accept that
    "some things simply can't
    >be done or don't make any sense in the Web".
    Sure they have. The client is not always king. And if they
    insist on
    stupid things and always know it better - why the hell are
    they hiring
    you instead of doing it themselves? If they want their work
    to be done
    by an expert, they should also _listen_ to that expert and
    let him do
    his work properly instead of telling him how he should do it.
    That's not
    going to work.
    >Like I said earlier, some clients
    >are not interested in hearing about how what they want
    cannot be done, and any
    >attempts to tell them so only serve to convince them to

    Let's say you want a little film to be made about whatever.
    Would you
    tell the director where he should position the cameras, the
    lights and
    all the stuff? He already knows _what_ you want to get, so
    why don't you
    just let him decide _how_ to do it? It's his job! And if he
    says that
    filming directly towards bright sunlight usually doesn't work
    well, you
    should respect his expert opinion.

    You asked for advice and you got proper answers. We really
    don't need
    people here just looking for the answers they want to hear.
    Often enough
    people are coming here looking for a cure to a particular
    problem, while
    it would be much easier to avoid that problem right from the
    beginning.
    Of course if they don't want to hear such alternatives -
    their problem.

    It's not the best idea to bite the hand that feeds you. It's
    the group's
    regulars who answer almost all of the questions here. And
    most of them
    also know how to use a killfile.

    So do we. If someone wants something that's not possible or
    not going to
    work, we'll "make our opinions known". After all that's what
    a free
    discussion board/forum/group is for.

    Want to try again?
    With pure CSS and text links it can't be done within the
    given
    constraints. I even doubt that it's possible with a table. So
    either
    drop the fixed 700px width or the equal space between the
    buttons.

    You can keep the 'e'. In German we have more than enough of
    them.
    And if you would be familiar with web design, then you would
    have known
    where this ironic "error message" came from.
    Your turn.

  • Using MySql and PHP with Dreamweaver on a Mac

    Hello all,
    As always if the answers to these questions are obscenely
    obvious please humour me.
    I use XHTML and CSS in my websites and realise that it is
    time that I dabbled with SSI. So I've started using PHP.
    However, I have been following the installation directions of
    MySql and am running into problems. I am installing the relavent
    software and am then unable to find it on my Mac, the startup files
    are there but the actual MySql data appears to not be installed
    despite my computer telling me it is...... I am using a G3 running
    OSX 10.4 is this good enough? I noticed talk of needing a PowerPC
    or Intel mac. Is this the case?
    Also, would I need MySql installed on my actual computer if
    the my servers have it already? And does Dreamweaver 8 have both of
    these programs installed as standard?
    If you could help out I would be very appreciative as I would
    like to learn this stuff and I appear to be struggling at the
    outset....
    Cheers

    MySQL is a relational database management system that
    comprises a
    database server and several utility programs. Although you
    install it
    like any other program on a Mac, the similarity stops there.
    First, the point about PowerPC and Intel Macs is that there
    are
    different versions of the MySQL installer for each type of
    processor.
    I'm pretty sure that a G3 is OK, but you must choose the
    PowerPC version
    of MySQL, not the 64-bit or x86 (Intel Mac) version.
    Once you have installed MySQL, you need to drag the
    MySQL.PrefPane icon
    from the disk image onto your System Preferences. This
    installs a
    Preference Pane that enables you to start and stop MySQL. The
    Preference
    Pane has an option to start up MySQL automatically, but in my
    experience, it doesn't work on Tiger. You need to open the
    Preference
    Pane, and click Start MySQL Server each time you start your
    computer.
    The best way to work with MySQL is to use a graphical
    interface, such as
    phpMyAdmin. As Osgood has mentioned, I have written a book
    about PHP and
    Dreamweaver, which goes into all the necessary details. It's
    also very
    Mac-friendly with separate instructions where necessary for
    PC and Mac.

  • I have just relocated to Africa and brought my 21.5" iMac along... when I plugged it in, using a power bar with a surge protector, I went to turn on the computer and received an incredible shock.  It happened a few times, so I didn't turn it on.  Help?

    Do I need to purchase a voltage regulator for it?  I spoke with someone at the Apple store in Vancouver, and he told me that the machine should convert itself.  Is this correct?  Should I turn it on or will I blow up the machine?  Has anyone had this issue?  I would appreciate your help.  Cheers.

    Hi! Thanks for the reply..
    No, I do not get any prompt whatsoever.. I can move the mouse but cannot click on anything.. Just frozen screen, can't close a window, can't click on apple symbol on top to try to force quit an app..
