Using Flash 8 with Dreamweaver 8

Hi guys and gals, I am in a unfomfortable situation now. I
have awsome ideas of how I would like to implement my creative
talents in building awsome websites but I cannot seem to transfer
over what ever graphics, text, buttons to Dreamweaver. I'm creating
.swf files but when I try to open up any item created from Flash it
gets all weird. I cannot seem to save those graphics and such to
html so I keep getting like a grey box with the flash logo.
Now, moving items from Fireworks to Dreamweaver is fine but
moving items from Flash to Dreamweaver is a pain in the arse.
Also, I TOTALLY understand that Dreamweaver is a awsome
formating tool but I don't know about you guys but I feel that I
feel so restrained by using these templates. I understand that
websites need to have structure but what if you want to make
different structures for certain pages on your sight?
Yes using CSS is very customizable but MUST you have
templates to put any type of graphic on a Dreamweaver design view?
All I want to achieve is making simple graphics with Flash,
Edit those graphics with Fireworks and drop them into Dreamweaver.
That's ALL I want to do but I'm having such a hard time doing this.
I'm beginning to feel completely retarded or something but
I'm just not getting it. I've bought every dog gone book and CD on
the market but I'm just not getting this concept.
But then again, I am a beginner so slap me twice, lol.
Please for all you veterans out their, explain to me like I'm
a 12 year old. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I'm trying to build a simple mock up of a simple web
page with like 5 navigational pages. I want to have buttons,
graphics, text, sound and video just to include what most websites
have just so I can get a understanding of how to put together a web
page.
Do you guys have suggestions on this idea?
Thank you once again and god bless.

>feel so restrained by using these templates
what templates? Halo? Don't.
> need to have structure but what if you want to make

> for certain pages on your sight
No problem (see below)
>moving items from Flash to Dreamweaver is a pain in the

Don't move - import them
>drop them into Dreamweaver
see above
>I've bought every dog gone book and CD on the market
All the books in the world on Dreamweaver cannot replace
books/tutorials on
HTML and CSS before you get to the hair-tearing stage (oops!
too late!)
> Please for all you veterans out their, explain to me

Not a veteran (well, not in experience lol!) - what you're
doing wrong is
going about using Dreamweaver like you would Word or as if
it's WYSIWYG -
it's not.
Have a look at this
http://www.w3schools.com/ on
the left, learn X/HTML and Learn CSS.
There *are* good, ready-made templates available if you want
to go down this
road, but without a grounding in HTML and CSS, you will
continue to wonder
if it's all worth it (o:
http://www.dreamweaverresources.com/freetemplates.htm
and others. Good luck!

HELP! Embedding Flash with Dreamweaver CS4

Hello i'm have issues with CS4 embedding Flash FLV's.
It won't show up when it's on the server but it's working
locally.
i've uploaded all the files in the scripts folder and the swf
skin files.
But it still won't work server-side.
I did not have this issue with dreamweaver CS3 as i've found
that Dreameaver CS4 seems to
change how the code of how the .FLV is embedded
any ideas??
or is anyone else having this issue?
thanks
Jordan
here's is my current test page link with a sample flv video:
http://www.lambethdesktop.com/flashtest/index.html
i've also attached the code of the html page it has been
embedded in.

This script appears to be missing (or uploaded to the wrong
folder)

Using Flash with Frames?

Is there a trick to using frames with flash? The frames page
looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>Home Site</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="78,280,*" FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0
FRAMESPACING=0>
<frame src="header.html" name="header" scrolling="no"
noresize>
<frame src="flash.html" name="flash" scrolling="no"
noresize target="mainFrame">
<frame src="frameindex.html" name="mainFrame">
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't
support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
header.html does not have any flash. Just has the home and
contact buttons for the top.
flash.html is just an html page that holds the flash
navigation.
mainFrame is where the new pages should display with index of
course being the first page.
In flash, the button has the following:
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 1;
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["but"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
getURL("details.html", "mainFrame");
When I press the button, it opens details.html in a new page
without the frames. I would like it to open details.html in the
mainFrame frame. Is there a trick that I do not know? Thank you so
much!

The standard reply is -
1. Why are you using frames since there are many compelling
reasons not to?
2. Why are you using Flash navigation since there are many
compelling
reasons not to?
Most people here don't work with (assiduously avoid) both of
those critters,
so, you may have trouble getting a more explicit response!

Using PSP with Dreamweaver

Using Dreamweaver to create PSP pages can become effortless and allow developers to rapidly generate thin-client, web based applications. Anything that can be accomplished with an ASP, PHP, JSP or any type of dynamic web page that also incorporates Javascript, can easily be created with PSP.
I've proven to management at my company that given similar application requirements, writing and deploying PSP pages is a much faster development cycle. And, in ALL cases, execution time is much faster and with a smaller application footprint.
When using these scripts together with Dreamweaver you can create a Rapid Application Development environment all by using PL/SQL Server Pages.
The batch file LOAD_PSP.bat will create a PSP file from your HTM file, creates a timestamped backup copy, and loads the PSP file into the database - all fast and easy.
Copy these batch files to your development directory and create a backup directory called Backup. Simply modify these batch files by adding the service name of your database to DB_NAME and adding your development username and password to the PSP_CONNECT variables. You should also change the path of your Oracle Home for the ORACLE_HOME variable as well.
To use these batch files, simply open a DOS Window and change it to your development directory where the batch files reside. Execute the batch files with the syntax, "LOAD_PSP web_page [optional connect string]" and the batch file will execute (don't add the .htm extension).
To allow you to maintain some sense of versioning, use the CH_PSP.bat script. This script simply adds a CHKPNT extension to the file name in the Backup folder. The reason for this is that LOAD_PSP will still copy PSP backup files of those compilations that fail and these should be removed. When you application is working, you can create a "CHECKPOINT" of the PSP file that you know works. This allows you to only maintain backup copies that you know work. Simply use the syntax "CH_PSP web_page". To perform a CHECKPOINT on all files in a folder, use the syntax "CH_PSP /ALL".
To view help for each, simply run the batch file followed by a /? or /help.
In closing, challenge a Java developer to create a dynamic, web-based, database driven app from scratch and win the top 3 challenges: Development time, size of application and speed of the application. I'll bet the PSP app wins all 3 every time.

Yes, I can bring the CF administrator screen. It asked me for
a password, the one I entered during the install of CF.
No I have created a mdb database and in the administrator
screen I registered the data source.
I am using the built-in CF web server.
I was trying to create a directory for a testing web page (
just to get me started...) in my computer, tipically in the
"myDocuments" folder and then upload it to the CFweb server.
Now I am reading the CF documentation in the adobe site,
using the samples they provide.
I guess it will be a long way to learn but I will do it
Thanks

Can I use Flash with Flash catalyst?

I was wondering, since Flash Catalyst apparently only uses
"rudimentary animation", can I use Flash Professional with Flash
catalyst? I would like to do more complex animations, and I was
wondering if there was a way to import those animations into Flash
Catalyst,

Flash Professional will definitely be the tool for creating
complex animation. The tweaks they have done to the animation
engine will blow away designers giving them intuitive tools to use
for creating animation. Designers will absolutely love how easy it
is to animate now.
As for whether or not Flash Catalyst can handle that... From
the trial software I received at Adobe MAX... it appears you can
import SWFs. In fact, as soon as you import them, they start
playing right there in the IDE. But I am not sure how much control
you have over the SWF once you import it. No SWC import though.
I was curious if there are any round tripping features
between Flash Professional and Flash Catalyst. Because the way I
understand it, Flash Catalyst is a way for traditional designers to
use Fireworks, Illustrator and Photoshop to build RIAs... they said
nothing of using Flash Professional.

Using Flash with Facebook Connect

I was wondering if anyone has any information or resources on using Flash AS3 with facebook connect. What I'm particularly looking for is how to do facebook authentication within the flash interface (so the user doesn't need to exit to the facebook website to connect) and also if there are any ways to make facebook calls from within flash once you have authenticated (rather than loading xml generated in PHP as I am currently doing).
Any information or resources would be appreciated.

The dial in process would be exactly the same as if you were dialing into the bridge as a participant. Most of the time it needs the following steps.
Phone number:           800-555-5555
Delay:                        3000 ms
DTMF: (passcode)     123456#
Delay:                        3000ms
DTMF:                      1 or # (for a roll call or to join the bridge)
However if the provider is not using a SIP compliant bridge, the Universal Voice tool will fail upon attempting to dial out.
Also, for the hosted environment, the phone bridge must have a toll-free number.

Insert Flash with Dreamweaver CS3 Question

So I have been building websites for awhile and have always relied on the built in insert flash object that came with dreamweaver as I have never had issues with it.
However as I finished a site recently the client had a friend look at it and brought up the red flag that the site was not w3 compliant. So I go and look at the little tool they have and the only error that comes up is related to the insertion of flash on the page.
I googled it a bit and found a number of people saying that the insert flash through dreamweaver will no show up as compliant. A couple solutions to fix the problem.
But before I go down that road, I want to ask. ...Does it really matter here? Seems like Dreamweaver insertion would be compliant? I mean come on the link that the w3 give to fix the problem is a link from a fix created in 2002.
I have never heard of anyone saying no the flash does not show up so right off I am not terribly concerned but it would be nice to know..
Also if it is important and suggestions as to a nice fix to the issue would be great.
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Right you are!
I tend to spot check pages and haven't done a W3C check on a flash embed in my websites (apparently). Just did one pursuant to your question. The page is 100% compliant without the Flash video. has 51 errors, 35 warnings with it. Lots of those errors are Adobe-generated Javascript that handles the flash video insert, skins it and so on.
Here is where Adobe may not be compliant with the W3C.

Using Flash in Dreamweaver

I've created flash slideshows using Flash Slideshow Maker. I
then created a simple flash file that has 3 buttons. The action on
these buttons is On (release) { loadMovie ("drawings.swf",
ss_frame);} Where drawing.swf is the name of one of the slideshows
and ss_frame is an empty movie clip. The swf I created works fine
until I load it into dreamweaver. The rollover works on the buttons
so I know it's not totally not working. But when I click on the
button to load the slideshow - nothing it just sits there.
Any ideas???
Thanks

You cannot make an all-Flash site editable in Contribute.
This would be
only one of the HUNDREDS of reasons why all-Flash sites are a
bad idea.

Strange problem using flash in dreamweaver

Ok so i'm experimenting with flash on my site. The banner came out perfect. It went onto my site just as easy. So then I wanted to play around with other flash buttons. So I made a flash link to my blog page. It worked great in dreamweaver. Then I testest it with IE and firfox and still it worked great. So I uplouded it to my site and no matter what I do it doesn't show up on the page. I looked in the code view and it's there it's just not visible. Does anyone see what I did wrong. It's right under the welcome message in code view. http://www.markspetcare.com/

Your problem may just be a matter of file naming but it could also be a targeting issue. The swf seems to be occupying the space assigned to it.
As a general practice, you should never include spaces in filenames if you plan to use them on the web.
If changing that doesn't fix the problem, then does your file load another file? If so, it's possible you didn't load that file to the server or are not properly targeting it in the Flash file.

Can I make a non-flash slide show using Flash, with JPEGs not GIFs?

Since Flash .swf is not supported in iOS. I wanted to make a simple photo slide show with high quality JPEGs. How can I do this?

Look to using jQuery instead of Flash. There are a variety of redy-made solutions available, just search Google or visit the Dreamweaver forum and ask there.

Using cartweaver with dreamweaver cs3

cartweaver seems like a decent out of the box ecommerce
solution, but how is it while using dreamweaver. Is it easy to
integrate the code into the existing pages? Is it a series of
include files that require a hand coders touch to modify
successfully to look seamless with existing site?

Hello,
I use Cartweaver but have not used eCart, though I have heard
many good
things about it.
There's a lot of good info on both websites.
Perhaps someone will describe their experience with eCart.
I can talk about CW.
First, let me say the support is excellent.
I would suggest you take a look through the CW newsgroup.
It's a great way
to see what kind of questions people are asking so you can
get a feel for
what it can and can't do. This will really help you, I think.
news://support.cartweaver.com/
Read the PHP newsgroup, specially posts by "Tom Muck"
I currently use the ASP version, but I think the PHP version
may be a better
choice.
The reason is that there appears to be more users and thus,
more scripts and
modifications available, posted in the newsgroups, to do some
very nice
things.
CW is very easy to set up. Run the extension and it loads all
needed pages
into your site in DW.
It adds a nice toolbar in DW where you can easily insert
functions on any
page.
The admin section is very thorough and intuitive.
The clients I have love it.
It's simple to add or edit products, photos, options, skus
and so on. You
can change the layout of the result pages just by selecting
how many columns
you want on the page, and there are a number of other
options.
It's easy to look at customer and order information as well.
To implement CW into your design, it's very easy to change
the CSS in the
included stylesheet.
To change functions or certain aspects of the layout, you do
need to get
into the code a bit.
For example, you can set the results pages to show x amount
of products per
page with a simple entry in the Admin section.
If there are more products than allowed to be shown on one
page, a "paging
links" menu allows navigation to next page. It is a simple
"Previous, 1, 2,
3, Next" text menu.
I wanted to make this look like buttons, so I had to go into
the script that
draws this on the page and change the code to insert
<li> instead of just
inserting text. I also had to change the script to use an
unordered list for
the menus instead of plain text links with line breaks
between them.
This wasn't very hard to do, but it depends on your
understanding of server
side language. Again though, any questions I've asked in the
newsgroup or
through a support ticket were answered very quickly and were
very specific.
"Change line 86 in something.asp to this", for example.
There are a couple of things CW doesn't do that I hope will
be in future
versions:
Ability to use PayPal's Website Payment's Pro.
Ability to link to UPS, FedEx, etc to get real time shipping
charges. I know
there can be issues with this, but some clients want it.
As far as what you can do with CW or eCart, definitely take a
look at their
customer examples:
http://www.cartweaver.com/customers/sitesusingcw.cfm
http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productdetails.asp?PID=123
Then click "showcase".
Here is a site I just did with CW, if interested:

Take care,
Tim

Using Flash with Windows CE

We're evaluating use of the Flash to develop a
professional user interface for an instrumentation system. The
system will be running Windows CE 6.0 . We'll have custom drivers
for some of the hardware and a signal-processing algorithm running
in real-time. The Flash application will need to communicate with
the drivers and algorithm.
Is Flash appropriate for this kind of application? Has anyone
out there done this kind of thing?

Using aspx with Dreamweaver CC

I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, although I used the Macromedia tool a few years ago to build a personal site. Not real up-to-date now in my knowledge. I have Dreamweaver CC.
I am trying to help a friend with a PayPal error. I thought that Dreamweaver might be a good tool to work with this until I discovered that his site was developed using aspx. I can't even see the files in Dreamweaver. Information for this is a bit confusing. Can I get a nudge in the right direction.

Hi sfz25,
In addition to what Murray said, you can use the ASP extension to work with ASP files. See Dreamweaver CC: New Document .asp ? for more information.
Thanks,
Preran

Using PHP with Dreamweaver and Contribute

I work for a small to medium government agency and we are re-vamping our website. Money and staff are very minimal here, so any hope of one or two full-time people managing the entire website, or of purchasing a content management system, are totally out of the question.
My question is: for a group of people that are capable of using either Adobe Contribute or Dreamweaver in Design View only, are there any disadvantages or problems with using PHP?
Here's more detail: In our situation, we really don't have the choice of editing straight HTML code, since many of our users would not be capable of doing so. If we could afford a full-time web person, that would be an option, but that's not possible at this point. Some of our users are going to be limited to using Adobe Contribute as well, which is a simpler option for some of the less-experienced users. Nonetheless we want our site to have a professional and consistent look, so a technology like PHP would allow us to repeat content across many websites. By the way, that's all we'd be using PHP for as far as I know; just to enable me to edit a single page and thus change the navigation content across the whole site.
Does anyone know of a reason why we couldn't build the site using very simple, limited PHP and allow people to edit it using Dreamweaver design view and Adobe Contribute?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions that you can provide!
P.S. We have also considered Dreamweaver templates, and so far that isn't working, due to the multi-login setup that we have.
P.S.S. Although I do decently in HTML and CSS and a teeny bit of JS, I know nearly nothing about PHP, other than this: <?php include("header.php"); ?>

You can use that extension if you like. You need to make sure that your page that has the SSI have an extension that will process the scripts as mentioned above.
.shtml, .php
I always name my SSI so I know that they are includes.
header.inc.html
header.inc.php
header.inc.txt as examples.
If you are using PHP, then it should process the includes.
A good simple test is to add a SSI to a page.
Do something simple like.
<p>Welcome to our website</p>
Name it welcome.inc.php
Then include it in a page, upload it to the webserver and visit the page.
I am using contribute for people to update areas of our website (hate it) and I manage the overall website myself.

Flash With Dreamweaver

I've been designing a website and want the first thing
someone sees on my site is a flash movie I've made. The flash movie
starts with the company name and moves objects across the screen
right to left to reveal the website. I've made it so it removes the
company name and turns into a white screen. Is there a way to make
this white layer transparent? Also how do i place this flash movie
ontop of my dreamweaver site I have built?

search help docs or this forum or google for "WMODE" - it is
also in your publish settings (HTML
tab) but you should read all the threads here over the years
about the pros and cons about this
feature - not supported in older borwsers except for IE and
has been reported as very buggy.
