USING DREAMWEAVER
Adding content to pages
Last updated 3/28/2012
Note: If you already have a main.asc file on your server, check with your server administrator before uploading the
main.asc file generated by the Insert FLV command.
You can easily upload all of the required media files by selecting the video component placeholder in the Dreamweaver
Document window, and clicking the Upload Media button in the Property inspector (Window
> Properties). To see a
list of required files, click Show required files.
Note: The Upload Media button does not upload the HTML file that contains the video content.
Edit Flash Player download information
When you insert an FLV file in a page, Dreamweaver inserts code that detects whether the user has the correct version
of Flash Player. If not, the page displays default alternative content that prompts the user to download the latest
version. You can change this alternative content at any time.
This procedure also applies to SWF files.
Note: If a user does not have the required version but does have Flash Player 6.0 r65 or later, the browser displays a Flash
Player express installer. If the user declines the express install, the page then displays the alternative content.
1 In the Design view of the Document window, select the SWF file or FLV file.
2 Click the eye icon in the tab of the SWF file or FLV file.
You can also press Control + ] to switch to alternative content view. To return to SWF/FLV view, press Control + [
until all of the alternative content is selected. Then press Control + [ again.
3 Edit the content just as you would edit any other content in Dreamweaver.
Note: You cannot add SWF files or FLV files as alternative content.
4 Click the eye icon again to return to the SWF or FLV file view.
Troubleshoot FLV files
This section details some of the most common causes of problems with FLV files.
Viewing problems caused by absence of related files
The code generated by Dreamweaver CS4 and later relies on four dependent files, different from the FLV file itself:
• swfobject_modified.js
• expressInstall.swf
• FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
• The skin file (for example Clear_Skin_1.swf)
Note that there are two more dependent files for Dreamweaver CS4 and later, compared to Dreamweaver CS3.
The first two of these files (swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf) are installed in a folder called Scripts, which
Dreamweaver creates in the root of your site if it doesn't already exist.
The second two files (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and the skin file) are installed in the same folder as the page in which
the FLV is embedded. The skin file contains the controls for the FLV, and its name depends on the skin chosen in the
options described in Dreamweaver Help. For example, if you choose Clear Skin, the file is named Clear_Skin_1.swf.
All four dependent files MUST be uploaded to your remote server for the FLV to display correctly.
Forgetting to upload these files is the most common cause of FLV files failing to run correctly in a web page. If one of
the files is missing, you might see a "white box" on the page.
