Need Help Please

[RobertF]

I am creating a website using HTML pages.

I have since created a flash Intro page but with no animation or sequence of music or moving objects etc. It's just a flat basic page with a logo and picture with 6 interactive buttons which when pressed takes the user to their chosen websites.

After saving the flash page in Flash MX the SWF file when loaded works fine, the buttons are interactive and take you to the websites when pressed. BUt when i load up dreamweaver MX and add the flash page into the HTML page, everything shows up fine but the buttons don't work when pressed - they just appear inactive!!!

Normally i have ideas as to why or what is wrong but i'm completely stumped on this one and badly need help....It's important that i find out what is wrong.

Hope someone can help, i'd really appreciate it, thanks.

I'm just wondering should the buttons actually work when i preview my flash intro page in dreamweaver? Should they open up a website when i click on one of the buttons? Or does that only happen after i upload the page on to a server?

In one of my old flash intro's i created which managed to work (how i don't know!) there was something different.....When i click on one of the buttons and go into the Action codes.....

I get

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
getURL("C:\\Documents and Settings\\home.html", "_blank");
}

Where as with my current page i get...

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.mywebpage", "_blank");
}

Does this help?

Flash files are pretty much disabled if you are previewing inside Dreamweaver (i.e. you are using the WYSIWYG part of the editor). If you preview in your browser (F12, by default), it should work- assuming your computer is setup to run active content locally.
