ANSWER:

I had the same problem. Just make sure that your “index.html” file is in the same folder as your “swf” file.

Thanks for the suggestions and tips for these swf file issues…nice to know I’m not the only one spending days banging my head against the wall!!
The editable region and ../ seems to have worked, but I still get a white box to the dimensions of the swf file in IE instead of the actual file, and it asks me to update my Flash version every time, even though I have already done so (several times!) Any ideas..?

I found a fix!!! As mentioned in an earlier comment, the key is using a library item. You then have to link to it in each individual file, but it does work!

I used an editable region in my template, then went into each child of that template and linked the flash file located in my library. Wa la . . . it FINALLY works!!!

not able to preview videos I put in dreamweaver. I get a message that the flash player isn’t updated enough. The same video outside of dreamweaver plays just fine with flash player. I have flash player 10 (most up to date) and dreamweaver cs4

Check the following for CS4 dreamweaver as mine now works,

I went into flash(CS4) and checked the ‘publish settings’ box to see which flash player was selected for my flash file, it was player 9.0 so i updated it to match the flash player i had downloaded for Dreamweaver (version 10 player for CS4 dreamweaver) and now it seems to work okay in the browser.

I have been able to do this very easily using MX 2004 but now I have CS4 Flash and Dreamweaver it comes up with the error ‘unable to find plug-in’. So i downloaded the latest flash player 10, and it still can’t find it. I know im going to be wasting hours trying to figure this out, does anyone know the answer to this problem?

When I export the flash movie, with as an SWF file, control buttons in place on the Flash Stage and so forth, the HTML created by Flash works fine and I can upload this simple page and it plays fine (with buttons) from the server. When I “place” that same SWF file in my main Dreamweaver 4 home page, which is an editable area of a template, the flash plays automatically and there are no buttons showing. Huh?

after 4 hours of banging my head against a brick wall over this, I finally got my Flash Image Viewer working.
1) Uploaded scripts folder
2) changed “scripts” to capitalized “Scripts” as on my root folder.

Hurrah

Hello,

I am trying to put a SWF for an XML-based image gallery into my web page. I am not using a template, and for the life of me all I get is a blank white box where my gallery should be. The box is the same dimensions as the gallery, so clearly it’s recognizing something, but I figure there’s a lack of communication due to the XML. Anyone else know how to fix this? Also, from everything I’ve checked, all my files look to be in the right place.

I have my files, and the flash file made, i haven’t put them together, because i was wondering how i get the flash file to play and then go RIGHT INTO the opening page (illustrator in dreamweaver) ,( not have it embeddened on a page- with links on the page.)
Thank you for any suggestions you might have!
