Flash Slideshow Maker - Dreamweaver Tutorial

 

This tutorial will show you how to insert a photo flash slideshow into Dreamweaver or any other HTML editor. This tutorial applies to the SWF files created by Flash Slideshow Maker under the "Basic" theme tab only.

Steps to insert a Flash Slideshow into Dreamweaver

 

1. Copy the SWF file from the Flash Slideshow Maker output folder to your website directory.

2. Run Dreamweaver and open your page file.

3. Click on the position where you want to insert the animation.

4. Go to Insert --> Media --> Flash

5. The Select file menu pops up, browse to the SWF flash file (please note we have just moved it to the new directory at step 1), and click on OK.

6. The Flash properties window now opens up, you may enter the properties accordingly or simply leave them blank and click "OK" to skip it.

7. Save the file then preview it.

 

 

 

Note:
1. Instead of creating new page files with Dreamweaver or inserting the output SWF file into existing web page, you can also edit the output HTML file with Dreamweaver or other editors like Notepad, Frontpage, etc.

Basic templates create slideshows with a simple HTML file and a SWF file, the flash code has been embedded into the HTML file.

2. If you want to insert a photo slideshow created under the "Advanced" XML driven mode, please refer to bellow tutorial:
