White square for .swf file in dreamweaver site

Hi
Apologies if this is a very basic question.
I have built a dreamweaver site and embedded a .swf file (a
slideshow of photos created in flash) into the page.
When I view the page online, the .swf file takes a few
seconds to load, and while it is loading I get a white square where
the slideshow should be (the dreamweaver and flash documents have a
black background).
Question - how do I either
a) get the white square to be black
b) get a loading bar to show that the flash video is loading
Many thanks

Thanks so much Tom - I now have a black background!
The only problem is that my .swf is taking ages (8-10sec) to
load and now its all the same it looks like nothing is happening!
I have looked at the preloader threads and customised a
preloader, but I can work out from the search results/threads what
to do with it.
How do i link the preloader into my .swf file. Do I need to
know actionscript (I dont!) to do this? (I have Studio 8)
The other gist I picked up from the threads is its better to
avoid the preloader all together. I'm creating a photography
website - hence big .swf - but do you have any hints for optimising
the .swf - the flash publish compression is all I've used so far
Many thanks

Or better still how do i get the button to advance to the next .swf file? Many thanks:)

Prettyphoto uses the jquery framework for lightboxes, galleries etc., It also allows you play flash movies with a forward and back arrows... take a look at this samples here - it could be what you're after:

How to make the stage transparent for SWF file being used in Dreamweaver

I have a SWF file in my Dreamweaver site, that plays correctly. The problem is that the stage is white and we would like it to be transparent. Searching the archives the following advice was given:
in your html embedding code you need to set the wmode parameter to be "transparent"
I'm wondering if this is the code in Dreamweaver or is this done in Flash. I'm working with CS5. Below is the code that matches the SWF file in Dreamweaver. I did change the wmode value from "opaque" to "transparent" and it didn't work.
Thanks for any assistance.

           </object>

Yes, change this to "transparent" in ALL the places where wmode is shown
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
Second, be sure that there is in fact nothing covering the entire stage, like a big white rectangle.
Also, what is directly behind the .swf once it's on the Web page? If the background color of that page or the <div> that the .swf is in is white..... well then then .swf can have a transparent background but then the white from the Web page just shows thru.... so there's still a white background.
Be sure there is a non-white background on the Web page...
Window Mode (wmode) - What's It For?
There are three window modes.
Window
Opaque
Transparent
By default, the Flash Player gets its own hWnd in Windows. This means that the Flash movie actually exists in a display instance within Windows that lives above the core browser display window. So though it appears to be in the browser window, technically, it isn't. It is most efficient for Flash to draw this way and this is the fastest, most efficient rendering mode. However, it is drawing independently of the browser's HTML rendering surface. This is why this default mode (which is equivalent to wmode="window") doesn't allow proper compositing with DHTML layers. This is why your JavaScripted drop-down menus will drop behind your Flash movie.
In windowless modes (like opaque), Flash Player doesn't have a hWnd. This means that the browser tells the Flash Player when and where to draw onto the browser's own rendering surface. The Flash movie is no longer being rendered on a higher level if you will. It's right there in the page with the rest of the page elements. The Flash buffer is simply drawn into whatever rectangle the browser says, with any Flash stage space not occupied by objects receiving the movie's background color.

Need help: enter flash file in Dreamweaver site with dark background

Hi,
I've entered a SWF in a dreamweaver site with a dark blue
background. When you view the site in a browser there is a white
square (the size of the flash file) that flashes up for a second
before the file starts loading. This is rather ugly and I was
wondering if anyone knew how to avoid this white square from
flashing up.
I already tried making the table background dark blue and
adding a dark blue square as a background image, but that has not
made any difference.
If you'd like to see what it does, this is a link to one of
the pages: www.billmather.co.uk/portraits.htm
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can give me!

Hi Horus,
Thank you for getting back to me. I found it, and tried it.
But still does not seem to make a difference. This is what the code
in dreamweaver now looks like:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','850','height','660','src','flashFilesBill/landscapes','quality','high','pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','flashFilesBill/landscapes'
); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="850" height="660">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000033" />
<param name="movie"
value="flashFilesBill/landscapes.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="flashFilesBill/landscapes.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="850"
height="660"></embed>
</object>
Did I enter it correctly? (I also tried it as <param
name="bgcolor" value="#000033"> but that did not work either) Or
do we still need to find another solution?
Thanks ever so much for all your suggestions and ideas. I
truly appreciate it.

SWF file in Dreamweaver will not indicate link

When setting up SWF files in dreamweaver (images), I cannot
get the arrow to switch to a hand indicating that it is an active
link to the user. Any suggests...I think this must be a simple fix
but cannot find it. I want the SWF picture to have a hand over it
to indicate that it is a link.
Dan

You cannot apply a link to any applet in HTML. That would
have to be done
in the Applet's respective scripting, and in your case, that
would be the
Flash Actionscript. Bear in mind that you should never use an
Applet for
site navigation anyhow, unless you also provide redundant
equivalent HTML
navigation, both for SEO and for accessability purposes.

Can't view .swf files in Dreamweaver

I'm using CS3 versions of both Dreamweaver and Flash and when
I import a .swf file into dreamweaver it works perfect locally but
doesn't show at all when I've uploaded the file into my webspace.
What am I doing wrong? I never had this problem when I used the CS2
versions of both software and it's driving me absolutely nuts!!!
Any advice would be most gratefully received.

On the other hand, if it's not working in CS3, then there is
an error
somewhere, since I know that CS3 does it properly....

Load Fail of SWF file in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi,
Could you tell me what I am missing in my files?????
I am missing my Top Banner and the .swf file in Dreamweaver? I can see it in the source files but that's it.
I have supporting files from my Flash-Slideshow-Maker, but can only see my flashshow if I embed the file from SkyAlbum.com (Album# 247097) which is very slow to load.
Have I not loaded all the files for it or something?

Thank you!

How do I enable syntax highlighting for jspf files on Dreamweaver CS6 on Windows?

I followed the instructions (which I modified for CS6) in this posting: http://blog.metameister.com/blog/2011/04/08/open-new-file-types-and-add-syntax-highlightin g-in-dreamweaver-cs5-on-window…
but it did not work for CS6.
How do I enable syntax highlighting for jspf files on Dreamweaver CS6 on Windows 7?
cheers
Marvin in Edmonton

Ok, I figured it out after hunting for a few hours.
Step 1. Add the File Type
In Dreamweaver’s toolbar:
Select Edit > Preferences;
under File Types / Editors, add .jspf to the line “Open in Code View:”.
Step 2. Extensions.txt
Add file type .jspf to the Extensions.txt files. There are two of these files:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration
Step 3. MMDocumentTypes.xml
Add jspf to the MMDocumentTypes.xml files. Open this file in Notepad or Text Editor. Do not modify the Dreamweaver configuration files within Dreamweaver.
There are three MMDocumentTypes.xml files to be modified:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration\DocumentTypes
C:\Users\mhaagsma\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration
C:\Users\mhaagsma\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\DocumentTypes\
Step 4. Restart Dreamweaver
Hopefully the file type will now be recognized and appear with syntax highlighting.

Add hyperlink or hotspot to swf file in Dreamweaver?

Hello how can I make a hyperlink (or a hotspot) on a swf file
in Dreamweaver. I don't want to use flash to create the hyperlink.
Help!
Pete O'Connell

You can't
SWF files will always migrate to the top of the layer pile so
anything
created will be behind the movie. Only way to do this is from
within Flash.
Sorry.

Is there a way to search for a file within a site defined in Dreamweaver?

I know you can search for phrases within a file's code, but
what if I have defined an extremely large site in Dreamweaver with
thousands of files in it and then I search for a file with the
phrase "contact" in it? Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver or
is there an extension that would add this functionality?

Re-sizing flash (.SWF) file in Dreamweaver?

Hi there,
I was wondering if their is a way to actually re-size a .swf in Dreamweaver. When my site is published online it takes approx 1 minute to load the first page. Stupid question but this is my first flash web site, so please bare with me. When uploading my website in Dreamweaver, do I only upload the .html file to the server or I upload everything, including the .swf and the fla (which are the two big files)? For some reason, there is something making my page slow to load and it's very ugly as for 1 minute the user sees a blank white page with Dreamweavers pre-loader.
Thanks

ok , so if I understand correctly...copy/paste my index.swf file only to my dreamweaver folder, nothing else? All my files (index.swf and index.fla, index.html are on my desktop in a folder and my content such as scripts generated by flash and my images are in a subfolder in that folder on my desktop.
Sorry, I am slow to understand loll
Ok so here is my website, even after adding background color to the body, still see white when it loads. I have high speed internet, I can only imagine those who don't. How to fix that?
Other issue... my "shop" button. It seems to work fine, but if I test it out a couple of times, then it will give me an error message that it can't access the external link but no wonder it can't, for some reason it adds an http:http:// twice in the browser. In my case, being http:http://www.etsy.com/shop/natdzign. Huh?? Oh and how can I actually center it so it keeps it centered no matter the size of your monitor? I just realized my website isn't centered. Damn!!!
Keep in mind that when looking at my website, this is my first flash website. I've made html/css websites before however.
www.natdzign.ca
NOTE: For now it works, until I decide to play around with it again, either you will see a under construction page or a error 404 hehe.

I can't run swf files in dreamweaver cs6, they place in the page fine, but can't be viewed.

I've created an animation .swf file in Flash and inserted it on a new webpage. When I go to view it in live mode, it's blank. When I view it in the IE browser I keep getting a message that I need a newer version of Adobe Flash player, which is not the case, and even going through the install process doesn't help. When uploaded, it doesn't appear on the webpage. This is Dreamweaver in the CS6 release on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The animation file runs fine when viewed from the original folder, but does not funciton (blank screen) when opened from the copied file Dreamweaver puts in the site folder. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Also, is there a way to loop a .flv file? This could be a work-around if I can't resolve the .swf issue.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi Jon,
Unfortunately not. The website is actually an HTML module logded in a third party program. Even in the development stage though I can't see the .swf file in either the live mode or by viewing with IE. Flash video files play fine as have the other graphics I've incorporated. It seems like a file is missing to make the .swf animation work properly. When I copied the file over from the original folder, Dreamweaver also placed "expressInstall.swf " and "swfobject_modified.js" in a scripts folder. I'm wondering if there should be another or different file to make this work.

Missing Images in swf file in dreamweaver

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me. I made a image slide show
in Flash (CS3) and wanted to put in in Dreamweaver (CS3). I
published the file in flash and went over to dreamweaver and did
the insert - media - flash command and added the .swf
When I test the movie, the buttons and the frame shows up but
not the images. Any ideas on why? When I test the html file, it
works fine. When I test the movie its self, it works fine too. Its
only when it is in the Dreamweaver file do the images disappear.
1. I have the required AC_RunActiveContent.js. file with my
swf.
2. I tried copying the code from the html file that was
generated by my swf, but when I test the file in dreamweaver, an
error comes up saying that i need the AC_RunActiveContent.js.
3. I have flash files on the site that work just fine, it is
just this one that is being stupid. I published it as flash version
7, 8 and 9. Nothing works.
Thanks for your help in advance!

You haven't told us whether you are using RH for Word or RH HTML to generate your CHM.
Please read Before You Post as it has been written to help you get a quicker reply. I will shortly be travelling and unable to pick up your reply for most of the day so unless anyone else can chip in once you advise us which, there will be a delay in helping you.
If RH HTML:
Your problem sounds like this one - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/490223?tstart=0 as there the images show in Windows Explorer but not in Project Manager or the WYSIWYG.
You say
When I generate the chm file there is mentioned that no graphic is loaded.
Do you mean there is an error message? What exactly does it say?
