Where is flash button
Hi all
I'm looking for flash button on dreamwaver cs4 I can not find
it where is it
Thanks for help.
Thankfully, it's been removed, as has Flash text.
Using Flash for buttons or content was a bad idea 10 years
ago, and it's
even worse now.

Can anyone help me with flash buttons? I am trying to build
my first website, and my five flash buttons (inside a 5 col. table)
for page navigation work fine in testing all 5 web pages with
mozilla firefox, and they look the same on the index page when
testing with IE-7. However when I begin navigating to other pages
in IE-7, the flash buttons disappear, and the 5 cols in the table
where each flash button was placed now are not equal sizes anymore
like they are on the index page. In my files area on the right, I
notice 3 out of the five buttons I created have about 15 to 20
"generations" shown there, with numbers 1 through 15 or even more
to qualify them tacked on to the end of the names. Where do these
come from, and why are 2 out of the five only have 1 "generation"
each? I never expected this, and I think it has something to do
with the problem, but maybe not. Please help me if you can!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...
Your problem is caused by navigating away from the previewed
page. In
general, this is not a good thing to do, since root relative
links will not
work as expected when you do that (locally).

How do I answer calls with the KITKAT update? I hit the flashing button but it's still ringing? Where are the Answer settings?
Aha! Thank you!!! That was not obvious. Sometimes I don't get the green and red icons. So it's slide it to the right for answering and slide to the left for voice mail.

Adding a url to flash buttons in Dreamweaver
I have a web site built and I have recently added Flash buttons and I need to add my web pages to the buttons. How would I go about doing this?
Let's say you create a button symbol. Since it is a button, it is already a self animating object that will react to mouse interactions, but only visually at this stage. The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name. So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event handler function for it. You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open. In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(req); -
Flash buttons don't appear in browser
I insert a Flash button. It is visible when I preview the
page in a browser that I access from Dreamweaver. But it does not
appear visibly when viewed in a browser independently of
Dreamweaver. A sample of this problem is here:
http://www.newtoncornerneighborhood.org/test.html
I seem, more generally, unable to get any .swf files to
appear visibly using Macintosh Dreamweaver CD3. I did not have this
problem using Dreamweaver MX. Can you help me understand what's
wrong? how to fix this?
Thanks.> But it does not appear visibly when viewed in a
> browser independently of Dreamweaver
You mean when you browse to the file LOCALLY and open it with
the browser?
This is what you SHOULD get if you are using root relative
links, since the
browser has no idea where the root of your site is. In this
case, you would
only see that SWF when you browse to it in DW *AND* you have
enabled preview
with temp files.

Flash buttons not working in IE7 and Chrome
Here's my website where the problem is occuring www.bakercreative.co.uk
As you can see the Flash buttons animate, but when clicked they should go to a new html page.
I've tested it in IE8 and Firefox without any problems but it's not working in IE7 and Chrome.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the html code or the flash file itself?
ThanksHi, Glad you were able to solve that issue with the buttons and Chrome. Any small thing can cause big problems!! LOL
I'm sure IE7 will test out ok, IE6 did Your website is very nice and has a variety! I hope it all comes together for you.
Thanks,

Hey, I have Dreamweaver MX2004 and Flash MX2004 normally
installed on my computer. Although my edit-flash button is grayed
out when i'm in the properties panel of the .swf document (who i
added to my document with Insert >> Media >> Flash)
http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/8024/helplr4.jpg
I searched alot for this, but it does not seem to happen to
anyone. Can somebody help me? Thanks.No, PSE 6 and later never displays an icon for a sub-category. If you accidentally created a sub-category where a leaf keyword tag will do, change the sub-category to a keyword tag by right-clicking it, and then you'll be able to assign an icon. But if you change the keyword tag back to a sub-category, the icon will disappear.
None of that design seems very well thought out. -
CS3 Web Standard SE. Can't edit Flash buttons
I have an issue where I am unable to edit Flash buttons or
Flash text that have been created in DW CS3.
I am using CS4 Web Standard SE. A colleague of mine is using
the same software and also unable to edit these.
Until now I thought it was maybe a trial issue but have today
activated the software. But the issue remains.
Regards
Dave> Until now I thought it was maybe a trial issue but have

It's not a Trial issue. It's a conscious design decision by
Adobe announced
in Aug 07.
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402489
Flash buttons and Flash text have always been ill conceived
features for
webpages.
Adobe recognised this by dropping them from DW CS4.
If you still want to keep them and edit them, use DW CS3.
However, consider using CSS styled buttons instead.

Flash button problem when scrolling
Hello.
I posted this in Dreamweaver forum as well....just in case.
I am using flash buttons for email links in my web site
rather than html email links to help with spamming.
They work great except for one thing. In my site I have a
fixed Div on the left of my pages. The content scrolls sideways
underneath the fixed div. However....the flash buttons scroll over
the TOP of the fixed div while the rest of the content goes under
as it is supposed to. I have the fixed div set at z-index of 2.
This isn't an issue in Firefox, only IE7, so far.
Any one know of an easy fix for this rather than creating a
new div for each of the buttons?
Here is the link to the problem page - its the email link in
red towards the end of the page. Watch the link go OVER the drums
as you scroll. (it should go under)
http://dev.informarch.com/wm/article3/flashBtnScrollexample.html
Thanks in advance for any help.
KenHello,
Try this and see if it works
In your HTML go to where the <object> tag is that loads
your flash button.
Add this parameter within it.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Then add the following inside the <embed> tag
wmode="transparent"
This is taken from an article from this site

When in design view and choose media--flash button or flash
text, i fill out the dialog box and save file but all I see when I
hit apply and OK is a gray box with handles and a f in it. Then in
browser check it does not show at all? My computer does have flash
reader as I can see other site's flach elements properly. I
followed the DW help and an online movie explanation.
I understand that Dreamweaver can generate it's own flash
elements such as flash text and buttons.
What am I missing?
To read the old tread where there was no resolution search
for jimkemble as author thanksPost the "code view" code that is generated and any other
code that you have written so we can get an idea of the problem.

I am just getting back into using Captivate 2.0 to create
some online training and I need some assistance using
JavaScript/ActionScript in Flash buttons. I created a series of
buttons that are part of a single Flash .swf file. I'm using these
buttons as kind of a "main menu" and I would like each of the
individual buttons in the exported Flash .swf file to perform one
of the following functions:
- Open another Captivate project in the same (parent) browser
window, or...
- Jump to a specific slide in the current project
I layed out all the buttons in a single .swf file so I
wouldn't have to import individual buttons into my Captivate
project. So how do I define the ActionScript for each button in
Flash to achieve these functions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
BrianHey Brian,
You can easily open another .HTM file using Javascript, but
doing so generally won't allow you to do any tracking of results.
Successful results tracking pretty much requires that an LMS is
launching each file. That said, opening a new file requires only
the following line of Javascript, where the path can be either
relative or absolute:
window.location.href = "<path to new file>";
As for jumping to a specific slide in a given file, Adobe
Community Expert Paul Dewhurst contributed to a discussion topic in
these forums that references using an undocumented internal
Captivate array to navigate to a specific slide via Actionscript.
You can check it out here:

Hi
I am quite new to actionscript but when building a simple app
that calculates amounts when you press on a button it only works if
I use a library button and not my customised one. I have checked
that the button is a button symbol and has four states but whenever
I use my own customised button I get error message...the library
button works fine with the actionscript.
Here is the error message I get with my custom button - any
idea why?
thanks

Flash button link AS 3.0
I have a flash button link using actionscript 3.0. The animation is a fade in of a logo. The problem is that the button is only a link during the animation, ie. when the logo has fully faded in it stops becoming a link. Here is the actionscript code i am using, does anyone know where i am wrong? Thank you so much.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
myButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK, myButtonFunction);
function myButtonFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://flightswitch.com/home.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");Hi,
If the logo animation is completely fade then the link is not enabled?
Is it?
Disable the logo button after it fade.
