ActionScript 1/2 :: Loading .swf's In Dreamweaver CS4
Feb 28, 2010
I am having a nightmare time trying to get a flash 8 movie loading in a CS4 generated webpage. Basically the design is straight-forward enough. I have a master page which loads a swf into layer 10 (this is my custom "player skin" with a control button). This player swf loads a series of movies into layer 5 of the master in response to a users click. The problem is that the .swf works fine standalone, it works fine in a basic html document but when I embed it in my web page through dreamweaver only the master swf loads and it sits there like a bump on a log.
I animated 4 flash buttons in one .fla file. When you rollover each button, an animation should play. However, when I preview the .swf in Dreamweaver, the rollover buttons only work HALF the time. I tried putting a preloader on the .fla file as well as toggling the quality to low in the original .fla, but it still only works half the time?
figure out how to make my swf files (animated buttons created in flash cs4 / as3 ) work in my dreamweaver site (cs4) as links to go from one html page to another ?
I have been looking all over the place for what seems like should be a really easy thing to accomplish.I have a swf that is 1060x630px and I would like to center it on the page... at the moment it just sits in the far left corner of the screen when I export it to html. My knowledge of html is minimal but I am guessing that this needs to be done in dreamweaver.
[URL]you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.here is the code from dreamweaver (you'll notice im sticking in color values wherever i can!)
Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head>
I have a flash site (finally) but I need to host it through dreamweaver. I cant do it. I tried loading it thru the media option and it gave me an error. I have a lot riding on this site and Im at the last step only to find some new obstacle in my way.
I am new to Flash and Actionscript, so bear with meI am buidling a website in Dreamweaver CS3. Is it possible to create a preloader for an swf file, inside a div tag within a Dreamweaver document?. Take my friends site for exampe, which I suspect is made entirely in Flash: [URL] When you,click on any button inside "portfolio", a preloader symbol appears ,but the movie does not procede without the control of the red next and previous buttons at the bottom right corner. How is this done?.
I am reluctant to design everything in Flash, is that I have heard search engines such as Google have trouble indexing website's that are made entirely from Flash. Or am I wrong in thinking this?.
CS3 on a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo Mac running OS X 10.5.8.I have been able to create my webpages and upload them to the host. They are viewable, linkable etc. Everything is working, but now I want to include some flash elements.I built a flash file in action script 3.0 and saved it in the files folder of Dreamweaver, I dragged and dropped the swf file into the design screen and saved it. I have uploaded the html file, the swf and fla files and the created js file to the host server, but the flash element does not appear on the page when I view it in the browser.
I don't know why this is so difficult, but I'm unable to embed a swf generated in flash into a dreamweaver template. I can finally create a few basic animations and want to test them out in the dreamweaver envoirment. What is the simplest path to accomplishing this? For example if I open flash, create a simple animation, like a ball moving across the screen. If I save that SWF, what's the next step after opening dreamweaver. I just want to be able to test it the site with dreamweaver or see it "live".
I am having problems putting flash swf videos files in Dreamweaver CS3. I insert the video file into Dreamweaver via media, Flash and it appears and plays when I test it on my page, but when I preview the page in the browser on my website the video does not play and I get a blank screen where the video should be.
I am a complete beginner with Flash and have just created a simple movie which I want to insert into a layer into dreamweaver. I have published the movie and exported it but when I try and insert it into Dreamweaver it doesn't work.
I've created an animated button in flash cs3, and wanted to bring my work onto a webpage/dreamweaver. HOWEVER, I only want to import the button, NOT the entire SWF file... JUST THE BUTTON... HELP!! I am using dreamwaver cs4, and want to know how, the only thing I know how to do on dreamweaver is bring in the whole movie clip, but this just won't do...
I have not been dealing with flash for a very long time and was never fantastic beyond basic script assist code. I am using Flash CS3 to design a site and wish to load image galleries in so as to keep the overall size of the site down, however I am using what I remember to have worked code wise:
on (press) { loadMovie("icon_regent.swf", "holder");
The SWF is working perfectly on my computer but when I publish it using dreamweaver CS3 the movies don't load, they don't even show when in playback mode in DW.
i'm trying to publish my website that I made entirely in flash CS5. Everything works perfectly when I publish the site in Flash, then upload the files to my server. I created the site on my 23' monitor, and when I view it on that computer, everything looks perfect, and works. However, I viewed the site from my laptop, and the site gets cutoff and the browser doesn't create a scroll bar so you cannot see everything.
To remedy this, I tried to use Dreamweaver to publish my site. Once again, it worked great on my 23' monitor, no problems what so ever. Viewed on my laptop once again, and now the browser creates the scroll bar. GREAT! However, now the entire site is stretched for some reason (but only when viewing it on the laptop). It seems to be a problem in Dreamweaver since when I viewed the Flash Plublished file, it didn't stretch the site.
I made 2 websites. One in flash and one in dreamweaver (CSS) site. I want to design a front page which checks for correct flash player and if user does not has flash palyer or plug in then it will redirect the user to the html site without asking.
Go to this site: [URL]. I got my flash intro onto the site and I got the HTML code from dreamweaver. I use 000webhost for hosting. HTML code is: <script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"> </script><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="720" height="480" id="FlashID" title="kevin"> <param name="movie" value="intro done 2011.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> [Code] ..... Why doesn't my flash load up? When I upload them to other sites they playback fine.
I have a site designed in dreamweaver. I inserted an swf file into the dreamweaver site to do the following :The swf allows people donate money through paypal and then return to the main site. I need a step somewhere so that I can disable buttons after the paypal process has occurred. Kglad has suggested that I direct to a new swf file when coming back from paypal. This makes sense, however, do I disable the donate button on the new swf file and if so, how will the actionscript recognise the button instances ?
I inserted an swf file into a dreamweaver website. My swf has a loadMovieNum action, but I cannot see neither in Dreamweaver nor in the browsers the movies that I loaded (they were in layer 1 in my fla file).
I'm willing to send someone my .flv because I can't see what's going wrong here. I tried loading the sound externally into my .swf and then inserting the .swf into dreamweaver and the sound didn't play when i tested the dreamweaver page in ff or ie and when i uploaded the page with all necessary files to my host and the same thing happened when I imported the sound. I'm beyond frustrated with the sound class and close to just starting over with my file and putting the sound on frames without any controls for my website's viewers. If anyone can take the time to look at my .flv i can't send the .mp3 sound file because i purchased it and don't have the right to destribute it but if any old sound file will work.
I inserted a flash/javascript into dreamweaver and it looks great when testing locally... Once uploaded to the server the flash does not display.. It looks like it is going to (says loading, etc...) but then no animations...I also tried removing the <noscript> within dreamweaver code, and still nothing....
[URL]you will notice a slight flash of a white box before the preloader starts, i'm trying everything to make it go away! this box seems to be the same size as my embedded swf. the site and preloader are all in one swf. all i need to do is make that white box the same color as the background so it is unnoticeable.
I have uploaded flash galleries I created in bridge CS4 to my site in dreamweaver. I used an iframe within a divtag and everything worked great in the previews, but once I upload the site to my server, the galleries are not showing up.
This is the code from my index file: <html><head> <title>index</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> [Code] .....
I built a drop-down menu navigation scheme in Flash. I've inserted it into my Dreamweaver page, but the links don't work. They only work if you were to set it to open up in a new window. Is it possible to have your main navigation be a Flash file, but link to your Dreamweaver pages?
I am creating a very simple gallery in Flash CS5 (I'm not sure which AS, possibly 3.0? how do I check this?) and everything works great in Flash when I test the movie. The gallery has six thumbnails that when clicked bring up a larger image above. However, when I import this into Dreamweaver, the thumbnails appear and have the invisible buttons but the larger image does not come up when the thumbnails are clicked on.
As I mentioned before, I have a very brief knowledge of Flash. I was wondering if this is a naming error on my part? Or if it possibly had to do with the trace statement (I'm not exactly sure of the purpose of these besides showing up in the output panel--). I have a feeling that the tutorial I was watching to create this did not provide all of the information needed, but then again, how would I know?
I've included my AS, but I wasn't sure how to attach my .fla file--I saw other people including links, but wasn't sure how that was done.

I want to include a 'welcome' flash movie onto the homepage of my site, but I just want it to play once and then disappear. Do i do this through flash or dreamweaver? and if so how?
