simple text fade movie clip doesn't...

Help!?Am I going crazy?!!!

I have a simple text fade movie clip that will ''play'' but won't work when I ''Test Movie.''?What am I missing??I don't regularly use Flash as of yet, and have been successful before, but this is ridiculous - and I know I'm probably missing something very simple.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

If it uses a dynamic textfield you need to embed the font in the textfield.

Thanks so much!?I really need to purchase a good reference book for Flash - can you recommend one?

Thanks again.

You're welcome.?Unfortunately, that particular problem isn't one you'll readily find in any book I know of, though I'm sure it gets mentioned.?The only references I recommend are the Flash help docs and Google... I have managed to get by on those two things since I started using Flash.?Trying to help people solve issues in these forums over the past year has also provided some good learning opportunities for me.

Why do I have to insert SWF again?

I have finally upgraded to CS4 and everytime I open a site I created in MX 2004 I'm asked to re-insert the SWF files because of a possible problem with the latest versions of IE. Is this true or can I just somehow stop this message? I update lots of websites and this is annoying!

Thanks for your help,

Sara

Why do I have to insert SWF again?

Dreamweaver shouldn't be asking you to re-insert a SWF because of IE.聽 Are you being asked this even after updating as DW suggests or just the first time you open the site?

If it is only the first time you open the site I think it is because the code to insert Flash has changed since MX2004 (regardless of IE) and Dreamweaver just wants to make sure that your code continues to function.聽 But if it continues to happen even after accepting the changes, you may need to call Adobe support because I have not heard of this happening.

I'm on a Mac so maybe it's different. I am not getting any of the messages that the the techsheet mentioned asking me to save or accept the changes.

I just opened a file and did not do as asked about re-inserting all SWF files and saved it a a #2 - uploaded it and all looks fine BUT when I open it again I get the same popup telling me to re-insert all SWF files!

Any other suggestions? Maybe I'll just have to call Dreamweaver - upg.

Thanks!

And on the other side, what happens if you say yes?聽 :-)聽聽 I believe (and I stand to be corrected here),聽 that you will get a newly created folder inside the folder structure as I explained earlier that needs to be uploaded....

As per this technote:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f 693f21-7ca6a.html

''.Dreamweaver informs you that two dependent files, expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js, are being saved to a Scripts folder in your site. Don鈥檛 forget to upload these files when you upload the SWF file to your web server. Browsers can鈥檛 display the SWF file properly unless you have also uploaded these dependent files.''

I'm not getting ANY of the questions shown in the Techsheet. It just says I have to re-insert the SWF files. There is nothing asked to agree to - no files created...

how to create a link that opens in a...

Hey !

Im trying to create a link in DW that opens in a new browser. If i use the behaviours method when i roll over the link in the web page it doesnt have rollover functionality (ie cursor change from arrow to finger). If i link via the normal way it opens the new page in the same browser.

I just simply want to add a link to a new web page that opens in a new browser whilst having rollover functionality.

Any ideas !??

Many thanks

Mark

how to create a link that opens in a...

When making a link you need to set the target from the properties Window in Dreamweaver.?In your case it will be _blank.

More information can be found here:

http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/att_link_target.asp

how to create a link that opens in a...

Highlight the text or click on the image you intend to use for your link.?In the Properties Panel, Link box, type the following:

javascript:void(0)

This will invoke the cursor change on mouse over.

PS. Follow this tutorial for link behaviors:

This works for me:

%26lt;a href=''javascript:;''%26gt;%26lt;img src=''FW-gradient-slice.jpg'' alt='''' width=''185'' height=''176'' id=''Image1'' onclick=''MM_openBrWindow('test','','')'' onmouseover=''MM_swapImage('Image1','','79267-org.jpg',1)'' onmouseout=''MM_swapImgRestore()'' /%26gt;%26lt;/a%26gt;

I get the hand cursor and the link opens a new window onclick.

Firstly select the first image, add?javascript:;?as a link in the Property Inspector.?This is what's called, giving the image a 'null link'.

Then set up the swap image behaviour as usual.

With the same image still selected, open the Behaviour panel and add the ''open browser window' behaviour.

PS:?Copying my code above won't work for you, because when you add the behaviours, the script for the behaviours is written into the head of the document.?But if you follow the steps as I outlined above, hopefully it will work for you to?:-)

Inserting paths to mysql database images

Hello,

I am happily use a Mysql/PHP setup in Dreamweaver cs4 to populate my webpages with text and numerical info. However, I cannot work out how to insert paths to images (Dreamweaver does not seem to accept image Blobs - just dispalys a load of gobbledygook - but prob not good for perforance anyway).

So in Mysql i have a 'text' field with my image path entered - localhost/wwwroot/websitename/images/picture.jpg

I have tried shortening the string to simply /imagespicture.jpg; or using backslashes, but nothing works.

Dreamweaver just displays the path text and not the image in Live Data or Live View.

Thanks in anticipation

many .swc files and an ''air'' folder and a ''player'' folder?in this folder..

that's the true file?

i wanna use it with the Flash CS4 Profressional

but when i published the flash file..

then compiler shows me many errors..

please help...

and an advanced thanks..

Abel Lee

Hi Abel,

Yes, textLayout.swc is the correct file.

Can you post the errors that you are seeing when you try to compile in Flash?

where is the source folder?

hi Brian,

i'm Abel..

i'm so sad that i forgot my account - -!!!!!!

i re-download a package named ''flex_sdk_4.0.0.8974.zip''.

and i went into it.

i saw four folders in it..

''textLayout_conversion''?''textLayout_core'' ''textLayout_edit'' ''textLayout_textField''.

i don't know what is the different between these and the ''textLayout.swc''?

and then..

i will tell you the details of?the?last time i launched the ''textLayout.swc''.

i read the guide about that how to install the ''textLayout.swc''.

and i did it like that..

i found the ''textLayout.swc'' in folder..

and double-click it..

then an alert window showed me it couldn't launch..

hi..Brian..

thanks..

i've done it...

i figure it out on Windows OS..

and i will try it on my Mac OS again...

then i have another question..

where is the TLF's source files..?

all of those four folders?

what is the differences?

See the post in this thread:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/467700?tstart=0

The files are in separate folders based on functionality, but are built together in one textLayout.SWC.

Can't get Upgrade Illustrator CS4 to...

There's no option for upgrading from anything but CS, CS2, CS3. Adobe advertises that Illustrator CS4 can be upgraded from Freehand MX, 10, 9, but fail to provide an option to enter a Freehand number during the installation.

Is there a solution to this Adobe screw-up????

Can't get Upgrade Illustrator CS4 to...

Where did you get your installer?

I believe you need the specific Freehand to AISC4 installer. It is sold separately from the AI to AI upgrade installer.

Can't get Upgrade Illustrator CS4 to...

Where did you get your installer?

I believe you need the specific Freehand to AISC4 installer. It is sold separately from the AI to AI upgrade installer.

On the Amazon.com site, search for ''Adobe Illustrator CS4 Upsell from Freehand''.

I don't know what Amazon's exchange policy is. Perhaps they'll let you exchange for the ''Upsell'' version.

The Adobe Store site that sells the download version of the upgrade clearly requires the buyer to ''Choose a version''.

If I were you I would contact Adobe Customer Service and see what your options are. Here's their Return Policy.

http://go.adobe.com/kb/cs_tn_15327_en-us''

I see. However, the Amazon site offered no warning. This is the first time I've seen a VERSION selection like this.

In fact, other than making sure an application worked on a MAC, this is the first time I've ever seen an UPGRADE that requires different discs for different UPGRADE applications.

This is just another strike against Adobe. How tough could it be to have a couple more options in the Installation program??? I never thought about different Install discs. I never looked for such a thing. When they listed eligibility they should have said something. Besides I never went to Adobe's site until AFTER I had a problem with the program.

I bet that Adobe's retailers sell a lot of these to the wrong platform because there's nothing I could find on Amazon saying anything about a VERSION choice. Adobe should have an UNLOCK code. If not, it's just another typical Adobe backward way of doing things.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

I'll have to get a valid # from Adobe or return the purchase to Amazon and buy directly from Adobe.

I can't call Adobe tech help until Monday. (Apple Care has 7 day help during business hours)

Hello Judy Arndt et al,

Thanks for taking the time to help.

Got to Adobe Tech Help via telephone and they provided me with an activation code.

I just don't understand why the Adobe upgrade disk doesn't accommodate all upgrade eligibility options.

I'm very glad to hear you got the problem solved.

I don't know the reason for needing a separate FH to AI upgrade installer. It certainly doesn't make it easy for users.

If the activation system doesn't send feedback on which product was upgraded, then perhaps the accountants insisted on a separate purchase for the FH offer. I'm sure they'd love to have a way to track how many FreeHand users are switching to AI.

Who says I'm switching to Illustrator CS4. I have a job requiring ONE FEATURE in the application. Once the job is done, Illustrator will be used very little.

I like Freehand much better and would like to see Freehand upgrades, but Adobe is phasing it out. I am forced to use Photoshop because my publisher is too technically challenged to use Macromedia output.

If angering Freehand users is the way they do a survey, Adobe better rethink a few things.

One of the things I like about APPLE is that they never put you behind the eight ball with upgrade nonsense. If you have a qualifying Apple program, the upgrade is fast and certain. It seems obvious that Adobe does not grasp the way Mac users think.

If I managed Adobe's programmers, a lot of them would be looking for new jobs.

Interesting experience. Glad you were able to work it out with Adobe.

I made the same mistake buying a stand-alone version of Illustrator CS4 not knowing you can't upgrade stand-alone applications from the earlier suites (which was easy to do with Macromedia products). Later I discovered on Mordy Golding's blog there was an upgrade option from FreeHand. Not finding any mention of it on the web (at first glance) I called up Adobe Store and the salesperson said ''sure, we have that version'' and I bought it.

By that point I had lost my receipt for my purchase, so I couldn't return the old Illustrator CS4 (I wrote it off at tax time as an extra business expense). But I still had the old CS4 on my Mac - in fact when I went to install the new CS4 the installer said ''it's already installed.'' So all I had to do is type in the new PASSWORD in the CS4 I already had (whose password on the sticker/in the box would only upgrade from stand-alone versions of CS3, CS2). And it worked! I'm not even sure I have the right CD in the right box - I'm holding onto both boxes and keeping very careful track of the CD CASE with the FH upgrade password stuck to it.

Advice On Drobo or DroboPro? LR24 Mac...

Anyone have problems with Drobo or DroboPro?

I have 2+TB of images, that is growing and will continue to do so.

Thinking of a solution where I use my internal HD (2.7TB Raid 5) for active clients / jobs and then using a Drobo or DroboPro for less active or archived clients / jobs. Also, will get a 2nd one to backup whole thing (Internal HD + active Drobo or DroboPro).

1. concerned about iSCSI - anyone have any experience - speed or connection issues

2. concerned about DroboPro since its new - any experiences out there?

3. concerned about configuration - is this the best way to go or are there better solutions that anyone is using for large image solutions?

I welcome any input great or small.

Thank you,

Photoshop CS - RAW Plug-In

I recently purchased a Nikon D60 and am unable to find a RAW plug-in that will work with Adobe Photoshop CS.?I tried Camera Raw 2.4, but still get the error - can not complete this request, this is not the right kind of document.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Photoshop CS - RAW Plug-In

Every new model of camera had a different ''RAW'' format that requires ACR to

be updated for it. If the D60 is a very new model, it will only work with

the ACR from the current model of photoshop, which would be CS4. It is

Adobe's policy to only update the ACR of the current version of Photoshop

for new cameras, so you'll either need to update Photoshop to CS4, or use

the free DNG converter to convert every RAW file to a DNG which you can then

open in old versions of ACR.

Photoshop CS - RAW Plug-In

Thank you for your help. Is this the file I would use?

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html

Does this work with Photoshop or is it just another program on it's own,

that would convert the file to a format Photoshop can open?

http://www.adobe.com/downloads/

on the right hand column, look for (and download) the ''DNG Converter 5.4 update''. Use it to convert your raw files to the DNG format and then open them up your Camera Raw plug-in

yeah, actually i met the same question.?it's a little bit troublesome.?erer.....

Adobe After effects CS4 - Medienkern...

Hallo liebe User/ Admins etc,

ich habe mir die Trialversion von Adobe after effects gedownloadet und das sicherlich mindestens 4 mal. Ein Kumpel von mir hat auch nochmal seine Version gegeben, wer wei鑴?ja, vielleicht lag ja was am download, aber nein, dass war es leider nicht.

Ich kann Adobe After Effects ganz normal installieren, jedoch wenn ich es starten will, st鐪塺zt es immer ab 3% ab.

Ab dem Punkt wo'' Medienkern wird initialisiert'' kommt.

Jedesmal an diesem Punkt.

Ich habe schon gegoogelt, aber ich bin zu keiner L鏋歴ung gekommen. Ich sitze jetzt schon 1 ganze Woche an diesem Problem und langsam bin ich mit meinem Latein am Ende. Ich hoffe ihr k鏋歯nt mir helfen, denn ich wei鑴?echt nicht mehr weiter.

Die Mindestvoraussetzung erf鐪塴le ich eigentlich. Hier ist mein Rechner:

Windows Vista Home 64 Bit

CPU Intel Core i7 920

3 gigabyte DDR 3

1000 Gigabyte Festplattenspeicher

Ati Radeon HD 4650

Bitte bitte helft mir. Ich bin schon wirklich verzweifelt ;_;

Adobe After effects CS4 - Medienkern...

Hast Du schon die Cleanup-Tools von Adobe versucht. Vielleicht ist beim ersten Installierungsversuch schon was installiert worden, das dann falsch und das verhindert die neue Installation.

Abgesehen davon, Dein Freund darf Dir keine Programm-CD geben. Wenn es ohne SN geschieht ist die CD zwar gleich wie eine Textversion, aber Adobe hat sich in seinen Nutzungsbedingungen vorbehalten nur selbst Software auszugeben.

browser crash upon debug

Hello, my Firefox browser always freezes up when I debug and receive a Flex error.

If I debug and no errors, then it does not freeze.

I have been using Firefox 3.04 and 3.5.?Both have this problem.

Does anyone have any advice ?

browser crash upon debug

Try using a good browser?

Just kidding... but maybe you have one of those FF plugins causing a problem??I'm guessing other browsers don't do this when you debug?

It's probably just trying to pause the Flash VM when you get an error like it does when you set breakpoints, why this would cause the browser to crash... that's beyond me.?Although I guess the VM would have already had to stop...?does this also happen when you hit breakpoints in code, or just on an error??Does it happen for only a specific error, or any time you have any kind of run time exception?

Probably the only way you're going to get a really good and definite answer on this is if someone else has already run into and fixed the same exact problem, but I've never heard of it happening before.

azsmatswabi,

I would suggest your posting in the forum(s) of the application(s) you create the artwork in, and that you post images (using the Camera icon to avoid delay by queueing).

Is Illustrator out of the question?

Depending on the nature of the images, you may consider saving for the web as PNG, GIF, and JPEG.

H.264 Encoding Problem in CS4

Hey guys!

For some reason I'm not able to encode my video at the desired bitrate of 12 Mbps.?Instead, Adobe Premier Pro CS4 wants encodes my videos at the default bitrate of 34.98 Mbps.?Is this a common issue or am I doing something wrong??Here are the screenshots of my encoding settings:

Try switching to CBR to set your bit rate, then switch back to VBR and

set the same bit rate. The settings should stick after that.

Photoshop CS3 Global Template?

Is there a way to have a template in photoshop cs3? So instead of designing multipages in one psd with each page being a layer folder, you could have one psd as a template for global elements and a psd for each web page - when you updated the template psd, then the global elements in all the other psd's would be updated. I know there is a way to link psd's when placed in Illustrator but I would like to do the same within Photoshop. If this is not possible, what techiques do you use to layout multiple webpages that use global elements and save slice sets for each page?
