Using Flash Playlist in Dreamweaver

Hi, got overly ambitious late last night and tried to make a
video playlist based on Lisa Larson Kelley's tutorial
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html.
I managed to get the tile list set up and functioning, but, the
video player doesn't seem to "see" the video files, just the
thumbnails in the tile list. The URL for the test page is at
http://www.vegascanine.com/VideoPlaylist.html.
I've been comparing my files to her tutorial files and I wonder if
there's something absurdly simple that I'm missing due to lack of
sleep! I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much!

Wrong doc type on page. Needs to be html or xhtml; not xml.

How to use Flash Skin in Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
I'd like to use a Flash Video Skin
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute) that came with Flash 8, in Dreamweave.
I copied the skin file (SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.swf) into
Dreamweaver's Configuration>Templates>Video_Control folder,
but although I see the skin in Dreamweave's popup skin menu, I
doesnt function correctly.
I assume I need to be doing somethign with the .fla file
(SteelExternalPlaySeekMute.fla), but I cant figure out where to put
that in Dreamweaver.
Any suggestions on how to get my video to work with this skin
would be appreciated.
thank you....

bump...
would really appreciate it if someone could help me out
here....
thank you.

Can I use Flash 5? Dreamweaver 4?

Not sure where else to post this:
I recently got an Intel-based iMac and I'm digging it. My G4 Quicksilver finally died.
My question is this: I used Dreamweaver 4 and Flash 5 on my G4 to create web stuff. But now when I try to install them on the iMac it says they "aren't supported on this system." And Adobe says they aren't eligible for upgrade (too old). Does this mean that my programs are COMPLETELY useless?? There's no way to use them or upgrade them at ALL? Someone familiar with these products might know the answers or a solution!
Thanks!
iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OS9 applications are capable of running under OSX only on PPC machines.
Get the trial versions for the newest versions of Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc at the adobe downloads center, and experience what your new Intel based machine is capable of!
hope this helps!
p.s. congrats on the new iMac!

Using flash template in dreamweaver

Hi,
I am new to dream weaver. JUST NEED A QUICK HINT.
I used a flash template which was available free online to
make my own website - I am using dreamweaver to publish my website
using the flash template i just finished filling out - used a layer
in dream weaver and put .swf file in it (the main file)
I also uploaded the dependent files on web.
When I preview my page in browser it plays the main file
correctly but does not automatically access other files
Problem:
when I play the main 24.swf file in flash - it automatically
accesses different dependent files and plays the files as I want it
to - also plays different page files - but the same file when put
in dreamweaver only plays the intro and then stops and does not
play different page files.
Actual files:
24.swf - is the main page file - when I play this in flash -
it plays intro, contact tab (when clicked), my projects (when
clicked), work experience (when clicked), everything.
I edited different page files my projects (24.1), contact tab
(24.2), work experience (24.3) individually using their .fla files
but still when I update information in this files and save them the
24.swf file automatically picks up the update BUT when I use the
same file in dream weaver for publishing my website, it only goes
till the intro and then stops and shows no view for those 24.1 24.2
24.3 files.
24.fla plays the intro but 24.swf plays everything, I didnt
know it would take me so much time to do a simple upload like this.
I have been working on this problem since last 3 days and
night but need some help now, I got to finish this up by tomorrow
night.
Please help me, I am going crazy because I am a second away
from the whole website but it doesnt show anything right now.
Please please help.
If my explanation doesnt sound clear, please for god sake let
me know.
thank you very much

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
different structures
> for certain pages on your sight
No problem (see below)
>moving items from Flash to Dreamweaver is a pain in the
arse.
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
like I'm a 12 year
> old. What am I doing wrong?
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!

Use Flash in .lbi files

When I try to drag an Flash object from the Assets Window into a Library Item (.lbi file), I get an error that says I can't use Flash in a Dreamweaver Library Item. But when I cut and paste the HTML code for the Flash animation into the Library Item in Code View, I don't get the error, and everything seems to work fine. What's the deal? I really need to be able to use Flash in Library Items. Thanks for your help...

Sorry. I don't use Library Items. Never have, never will.

If I need to paste a single code fragment into my web pages, I often use my Snippets folder for this. Frequently used code fragments go into the snippets folder for quick insertion into web pages (in code view, of course).
For repeating site elements that could change from time to time, I use Server-Side Includes (SSI). Edit one file, upload to server. Done.

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!

Problem Using Flash FLV Video Via Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unable to get my FLV video to play on my website.
I seem to have two problems:
1) I want the FLV file to be hosted in a different domain to
the website itself (for bandwidth reasons) and it doesn't want to
do that!
2) I would prefer to use Flash skins rather than Dreamweaver
skins as I want to offer a full-screen option but I cannot get them
to work!
If I host the FLV file on the website domain, the video plays
ok. If I change the file location in the Properties of the movie to
become the FLV located on the other domain (using full path
http://<etc>flv) then nothing
displays on that part of the page. Firebug tells me it has loaded
the AC_RunActiveContent.js and FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf but it
makes no mention of the skin file or the flv file itself ... it is
as if it just simply has not bothered with it! I suspect I am
missing something obvious but cannot find it. All help would be
appreciated. By the way, I have loaded up a crossdomain.xml file to
the root of the domain that hosts the flv file but that didn't seem
to make any difference!
The second challenge is that ideally I would like to use a
Flash skin so that I can have a full-screen option and so that I
can have the menu bar under the video itself. However, I can't even
get that option to work when I host the whole lot on the normal
webserver! I am suspecting that it might be something that might
suddenly start working when I fix problem 1. However, if anybody
has any links to a page that provides simple instructions about how
to do this task I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks for your help!

1) Why not post your video to YouTube or Google Video and
then embed the
code they provide into your website. This way their servers
carry the
bandwidth for you and the scripted embed code will work on
your site.
2) If Video sharing isn't an option, and you need more
bandwidth, you can
get domain hosting for as little as $4.95 - 6.95/month at
Bluehost,
Lunarpages or Web Hosting Pad.

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.

How to import html5 animation (created/published using flash) into a web page using Dreamweaver.

I have created an animation in Flash and published it as a html5 animation.
How do I get this into an exisitng web page using Dreamweaver?

Hi Nancy,
I am using Flash CC2014 which publishing as html.
(When I publish as html with edge animate you can create an oam file which allow the inserting of the resulktant animation into a web page)
The files produced with Flash CC 2014 are: html try.html and html.try
I was hoping I could use some way to just insert the html animation produced by Flash.
Source Code in html file is ....

Flash buttons in dreamweaver 8

Hi,
i am having a problem with inserting flash button in
dreamweaver 8, when i insert the buttons it appears on the page as
a grey box with "F"(flash) and not displaying the proper text. The
user is a standard windows users and has not administrator
privilidges. but if an administrator loggs into the pc and does the
exact same process then the flash button work.
has anyone come across this problem ? does anyone know how to
resolve
cheers
david

You'll need to go back into Flash and build the links into the buttons before you create the swf's. Look in the Flash help docs regarding the getURL function as far as the code you'll need for linking. If you have problems, post in the Flash AS1 and AS2 forum.
Beyond that, don't be surprised if some feedback arises here regarding using Flash buttons.

Link Custom Flash Buttons in Dreamweaver?

Hello,
I created an animated button in flash and tried to link it up
in Dreamweaver with no success. I don’t understand why I can
use generic animated buttons that DW offers and have a link for
them but, when I create my own DW doesn’t offer a link. All
I’m trying to do is link to a different page on my site. I
tried to use “getURL” in the action script in flash and
got that to work but, I really didn’t want to open a new
browser. Can anyone help?

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...
In addition, you cannot add a link to a Flash element using
HTML. That link
must be added in the Flash itself.

Using Flash in DW extension - Security Settings

I have a Flash SWF in my Dreamweaver extension, and I pass values between the SWF and DW using the DW API.
However, to get it to work locally, I need to add the SWF file as a security exception, which is quite inconvenient to potential end-users.
Is there a way to use Flash in my extension without requiring the end-user to update their security exceptions (or that provides an easy way to do so)?
Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea how this is done? The start page
for Dreamweaver is also a Flash SWF file called welcome.swf, that
in turn invokes various dw API calls. Trouble is, I have no idea
what command they are using MMExecute, getURL, fscommand?
