insertion of swf file in dw vs complete creation of the site in flash

I am updating a Web site and am quite familiar w/html and DreamWeaver, but I'd like to add some elements of the Flash on the site.  I'm using Flash CS4.

What is the advantage and / drawback to insert several SWFs in my site DW versus just creating the entire site in Flash. What is the difference between the two approaches?

If I do the latter, I have subsequently put in DW anyway so this is an html file?

Thanks for your help!

There may be potential problems with Flash content in a web site since the iStuff evolution leads to reject Flash content to display.  If you are looking to attract mobile users, then go with Flash can be a gamble, especially as you go more down in the future where there will be more development Flash Player align with the mobile market.

I've heard say that Flash does not support the handicapable design elements with the html/css integration.

You can still have control of web page for availability of the Flash Player code, and if not found contained alternative present instead.

A problem of having a full Flash site is that it can be less SEO friendly to go with straight based on designed html, although given that Flash content may still reside in an html page there are some measures that can be taken to support the SEO concerns.

For a full Flash site design, you would probably not need DW since Flash can generate its own html page.

I recommend that you ask your questions in the Dreamweaver forum as well.  The reaction it to content using Flash is likely to be hard, so don't take it personally, but some useful information might still be gleamed to try.

  • password protecting a swf file I want to download on my Web site

    Hi all. I'd appreciate seeing a tutorial showing how to password protect a SWF uploaded on my site.

    I have a swf file which is a work in progress, is NOT ready for public consultation and I need a review from a friend in the United States, and if I could download it and give him the password, it would be be visible only for her, or for anyone else I would give the password.

    So, I looked at a thread for awhile, http://forums.Adobe.com/message/718264#718264 , which explains things I don't understand about programming xml.

    And, I am aware that the publication settings has an option to add a password, I tried but I'm not sure it makes if anything.

    Thank you.

    I have not heard issues with the Mac except that their leader has problems with Flash, although I have not really well tuned for Mac issues in any case.

    If the files that were sent included the html file, the person who sent you to should be able to view it in safari or another browser has the machine.  If this person is using an iPad or an iPhone, it is out of luck because of her choice of material.

  • Warning of safety running a SWF file on a computer when you access the internet

    I want to distribute a SWF file to run on computers, not the internet.  However, I want to be able to access the internet through a link that is controlled by a button.  This used to work, now I get a security warning telling me that I need to change the settings on my computer.  For obvious reasons, I don't want anyone running the SWF to have to do that!

    Under Windows, I can create an EXE file that does not have security WARNING, but on the Mac which won't help.  Any suggestions?

  • SWF works fine in IE but not in the QT COM flash drive

    Hi all

    I am writing a QT application that needs to display a SWF file. I finished and tried to display an example of SWF (a.swf) file downloaded from the internet and the result was OK.

    Now, I started writing my own SWF (b.swf) using ActionScript 3 file and compiled with MXMLC. But b.swf couldn't be displayed in my QT application.

    What is strange, is that both a.swf b.swf could be displayed in IE.

    Could anyone guess what the reason would be, please?  Thanks in advance.

    Problem solved. What happened was that my image was not large enough to be seen in a small window, so it seems as if the image did not load at all.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 - SWF file problem.

    I use Dreamweaver CS6, I inserted a SWF file in my index.php located on localhost (XAMPP). When I try to preview my page (on chrome or IE, or Dreamweaver Live), it asks Flash Player 16. I installed it but still ask for it. All solutions?

    Have you tried to load a test page to your Web site? Preview Flash locally is hit or miss.... unless what I remember. If it works on your site using multiple browsers, then I think that you cannot ignore the problem of local insight.

  • Inserted Captivate SWF w / Jump to Next Slide in Captivate Project hand - button

    I inserted a Captivate SWF file on a slide, and I want a button in one inserted SWF to move to the next slide in the main project of Captavate.

    I was wondering if I have to use shares advanced on this inserted Captivate SWF or javascript on this button to move the main Captivate project to the next slide?

    I'm with Lilybiri on this one.  With all of the slides in the same project is the best way to go.

    When you start a new training project, the height and the width of the stage of project file is one of the main decisions you need to get right.  Then when you capture any simulation content, you must make sure to match the size of the screen exactly so adding slides to capture is just an exercise in copy/paste.

    Captivate SWF inside other Captivate SWF of nesting is a highly questionable practice that Captivate was never designed to support.  It MAY work sometimes, but it can also cause all sorts of issues as well.

  • Display layout of the table breaks after the insertion of SWF object

    With the help of Flash Pro CS4/Windows Vista:

    I have a tabular presentation that breaks apart in Firefox, leaving gaps between cells after inserting a SWF file.

    I inserted the file using the Insert > media > SWF in Dreamweaver and downloaded the SCRIPTS folder command.

    When I remove the SWF object, the file is displayed perfectly (with an empty cell, where the SWF object should appear)

    The SWFobject is narrower than the cell that contains 2 pixels (cell: 227w X 146 h;)  SWF 225w X 146 h)

    You can see the problem in Firefox at http://theflightsofmarceau.com/series.htm

  • Can you publish Adobe Presenter output as a single .swf file?

    I would like to have full presenter as a single swf file performance.  This is so I can insert this .swf file in a program called Wimba Create (which accepts .swf files) and then generate modules from leaning on the Blackboard.

    When I publish on my computer, it creates a folder containing several .swf files, so it doesn't work.

    Wimba is not able to accept animated PDF files that could be generated.

    Help would be great!

    The presenter documentation is a bit misleading because it actually creates a swf file named 'viewer.swf' and 'Viewer - lite .swf' and indeed, you can load these files independently swf on a web page, but that he didn't tell you, it's these two swf files to extract data from the rest of the normal production of presenter in them to render the content.  So yes they are swf files, but no, they are not a flat swf file that contains all the content, it is simply a container that loading the data in.  I hope that makes sense.

    What you can try is using one of the solutions open source (free) that convert PDFs into swf files.

    http://PdfMeNot.com/ is a good web based to try.  Here is a tutorial on how to use it, http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/convert-pdf-flash-pdfmenote-online-pdf-to-swf-convert er/2280 /

    You can also try http://www.swftools.org. This is a more involved method and use command line entries, so it's a little intimidating, but here is a short step by step http://www.ehow.com/how_4844986_convert-pdf-swf.html

    Another option would be http://pdfzilla.com/.  It's not free, but seems to be a much easier solution.

    I hope this helps.

    (2) in addition, I just uninstall Flash Player and reinstall the latest version, as the safari browser confirms that I got 14 Flash Player version installed. When I check my Adobe Flash file, there's always the old Flash Player. How can I get this update?

  • Text on the imported swf file input field is not "entrable" in presenter

    I created a swf file (created using Actionscript 2) in which the user can enter text. The file works fine as a stand-alone swf, but when imported and published from Presenter, the field is more entrable. Help!

    Hey BillG-Chicago,

    Greetings from Adobe.

    Can you please confirm the version of Adobe Presenter, in which you have imported and post your (created in ActionScript 2) SWF file?

    Since Adobe Presenter 7.0.7 or later only supports ActionScript 3 and which could be the reason why your SWF file does not work as it has been created in ActionScript 2.

    Kind regards

  • Captivate 6 graphic bug in the SWF file

    Hello

    I use 6 Captivate and have a problem with the SWF file. There are some glitches in the video. They are a bit like after images of the contents of the previous slide.

    bug.JPG

    (Here the white lines should not appear).

    Curiously, in the preview of these lines do not appear.

    I already tried a lot of things like the use of the highest quality for slides (24-bit) or increasing the frames per second, but nothing seems to help.

    Does anyone know a solution?

    Kind regards

    Rini

    Hello and welcome,

    You can specify the exact version number (help, Captivate)?

    Try turning off all compression under preferences, project, SWF size and quality settings. And what publication check the option 'Force republication... '. »

    PS increasing the pace will not help in this case.
