using Dreamweaver flash buttons and linking - 8/3/2007 3:45:15
I've created several buttons using Flash (within Dreamweaver MX 2004). When I was first setting up the buttons, there was the option to link to something, which I just thought I'd go back to later. However, now that the buttons are created, I wanted to get back into the editing window in order to set the links. But in the preferences, my editing button is shadowed, not allowing me to access the window. If I double click on the Flash button, I get an "open file" window, but if I select the swf file, nothing happens. Does anyone know if there is a way to get in to edit the Flash button after it's been created in order to link it?

Sorry I've never used that feature. Hopefully someone else will come along.
Regards!

If you go into the code of the button, it will look something like this:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="32" height="32" title="">
<param name="movie" value="" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="32" height="32"></embed>
</object>
You need to put the movie in two places, the first being <embed src="". If you delete the quote marks after value= and then replace the first so it looks like this: src=" You should then get a button that pops up and says "browse". Once you get there you can choose the movie you wish to input. You must also do this two lines later, in the code line that looks like this : <param name="movie" value="" />. You would do the same thing as before, by getting rid of the quote and replacing it. You should yet again get a browse button, and you will have to place the exact same file you did after "src". I hope that helps. Let me know if you need more help!
