A simple Flash dialog box example
In this example, you use Dreamweaver to create a new command that displays a SWF file called
myFlash.swf when the user clicks the command in the Commands menu. For specific
information about creating commands before trying this example, see the information about
commands in Extending Dreamweaver.
Note: This example assumes you already have a SWF file called myFlash.swf in the Configuration/
Commands folder of your Dreamweaver application installation folder. To test this with your own
SWF file, save the SWF file to the application Commands folder, and substitute your filename in all
instances of myFlash.swf.
In Dreamweaver, open a new basic HTML file (this will be your Command definition file).
Between the opening and closing
reads as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>My Flash Movie</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
Now, save the file as My Flash Movie.htm in the application Configuration/Commands folder
(but do not close the file yet). You save the file at this point so you can embed your Flash content
with a relative path, otherwise Dreamweaver will try to use an absolute path.
Back in the HTML document, between the opening and closing
closing
tag. Then, within the
form
your Flash content to the Command definition file. When prompted, select the SWF file in the
Commands folder, and click OK. Your Command definition file should now look like the
following example (of course, the
SWF file properties):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>My Flash Movie</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
