Does it have a certain format of video to play when using Dreamweaver?

A quick glance at the present-day internet would seem to indicate that Adobe Flash is the obvious choice for embedding video in a web page.

You can use FLV as the video format to be embedded to web page. To add FLV video to web page, you also need a web-based FLV player.

If you don’t have a Flash tool, you can check Moyea Web Player. It is a quick solution to add flash video (FLV) to website and an easy-to-use Web FLV player creator, with which, customizing skinning streaming FLV player and FLV player (flash video player) for website only needs a few mouse-clicks. And the created player can be easily edited via flashvars code.
Here is its official website:

I am trying to make a website. I have a template already that I made one Photoshop but I want to get it onto Dreamweaver without slicing. I only have Photoshop Elements so there is no slicing. I know there is a way to do it but I just don’t know how to.

Well…Photoshop makes images. If you save it as a common image type, you can easily use it with any website. You might want to use GIMP to do the slicing.

I made a website in Dreamweaver CS4, but my client doesn’t have the software. The website is built from a Dreamweaver template that I made, and it has Editable Regions in all of the pages. How can the client edit the website without having the Dreamweaver CS4 software?

If they know html, they can edit it in Notepad, or any other text editor.

My partner is making a template in dreamweaver for joomla site and we are not to sure on how to upload it to it. We appreciate the help, thanks in advance.

Dreamweaver and Joomla have entirely different template mechanisms. You can use Dreamweaver to set up a prototype and then use that as the foundation for a Joomla template, but you’d have to copy over the CSS and the basic HTML structure yourself.

Dreamweaver still uses a page-based approach, where each page is like a word document. Joomla is a content management system. The template in a CMS contains no actual data, but all the data is stored in a database and the page is built in real time.

I loaded a pre-built site into dreamweaver. Half of the pages were built in php format. I built a new page to add to the site with new links and pictures. But when I uploaded the site to the web, neither the pictures nor the links worked. Any ideas what might have caused this? Or something I missed that would prevent a newly added page from working? Settings etc? I’m using Dreamweaver CS4. Thanks in advance.

Try using the FTP protocol to upload the files manually. Your host most probably supports FTP so all you need to do is download a client like FileZilla and then you can upload the files directly to your website.

What are some free alternatives to Macromedia Dreamweaver? Someone please tell me good and free alternatives to Macromedia Dreamweaver. It would be better if most of the the features are similar but that is not the main point. So just tell me free alternatives to Dreamweaver.

Look at NVU (http://net2.com/nvu/). It is a free HTML WYSIWYG editor.

I want to import a custon made flash button into dreamweaver. I made it using flash and I have it in a .swf format and the .fla format.
Thanks

P.S I dont want to make a roll over image in dreamweaver OR use to defult button supplied by dreamweaver

In the upper side of dreamweaver screen, there’s a drop-down media button, next to images button.

Click it and choose the flash option and look for your already created flash button.

I’m planning to work on a Dreamweaver website with multiple computers. If I travel with a laptop and am not connected to the same network, will it still work?

As long as you have FTP access to the server, you can download, edit then upload/overwrite the file from anywhere. I recommend an easier FTP program though…

I have dreamweaver version 8 and was wondering whether it works with piczo and how. Thanks in advance!

I have no idea how Piczo and Dreamweaver can work together.
On Piczo you can just put html codes, which you can generate in Dreamweaver anyway.

I made a website using Photoshop and dreamweaver but I’m required to make a flash website for a class. Is it possible to transfer the files from photoshop or dreamweaver into Flash?

You cannot put anything from Dreamweaver into Flash…but you can put a SWF (the final flash product) file into Dreamweaver.

Same goes for Photoshop. You can place a JPG/PNG created in Photoshop into Flash.

Ultimately your flash site will have to be contained with an HTML page.

Hope that helps
