Is there anyway to make a flash loader for an iweb website. Like the first thing you see when someone clicks on a link and they see a loading bar. Could you do a tutorial on that.
How do you convert an image/file to an SWF file? Are there any converters for free that you recommend? I tried to download Adobe Flash but its not working for some reason. Im getting “Adobe Flash Player Manager” and not the actual app.
Please help, Im only steps away from understanding the entire process but I can’t get my files converted to use your nifty html link :)
thank you so much! Amazing site btw
You mentioned that you are able to use this tutorial no matter what server you are using. In the tutorial, you used your imac name for the code but what if you do not use imac. I happen to be using GoDaddy. What should I be entering into the code? Thanks!
Hi.
Works fine and I can get the flash into iweb. All looks good on my computer (mac with firefox)
However when I check the site on Internet Explorer, the flash windows are incorrect.
1 of them is too small and incorrectly place.
The second is the wrong size and goes of the page and the end is cut of?
Is there a way to rectify this in the HTML code for each flash box??
Your tutorial is very good and easy to follow and very professional. However when I paste the code into iWeb HTML, no matter how many different combinations I try, I too get the white box only. I have a Mobile me account and presume the address path is this http://www.me.com/username/flash/flashfile.swf but it doesn’t work?
Help please.
Hey man,
Thank you very much for this tutorial.
I’m running into a bit of a problem with this code though.
When I embed my flash file into iWeb, I can view it with no problems however the buttons do not function. They animate when mouse over and off but they do not link. I played the swf file outside iWeb and the buttons are OK and functional. What could be the problem?
I got the .swf file working, but still have a problem:
I make 360 degree interactive panorama’s. They’re all .swf files.
But some of them (when including a full-screen option) use an external folder with content from which they get data.
So I upload the .swf file AND the data-folder to my webserver, and use your code.
But now the .swf file keeps on loading and can’t find the data.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks for helping out!
How can I use this code, but with a transparent flash background?
Because my background (on iWeb) was made in photoshop, and the flash background is white! so.. doesnt look good
is there anything I can do to make the flash background to be transparent?
thanks
Nice tutorial video.
I’ve almost given up to build my web site by using iWeb because the web builder lis available to renew the pages… But it was not. If flash file I’ve already made can be put in iweb page, it is great.
By the way where can I get that tag dcde you are mentioning on the video.
Thanks
Awesome. Thanks mate, an useful and great web

This code isn’t quite working for me.. what’s the exact url of the web folder this is the URL code i have in place
http://www.web.me.com/username/Sites/Flash/flashfile.swf
Is this correct, because its not working?
I did all the steps described above to import my SWF to iweb 09. it worked, except there was no sound or video
working! please help.
YOU ROCK!
Thanks for being a tremendous resource for folks like me!
Tip#21 is awesome…
After viewing the tutorial, the code was not listed below and or for that matter anywhere else. Where is the code?
The code is listed on the Tips page. Go to this page:

WOW!!! beutifull site. Thanks for your work and toutorials ;)
Do you know if we can make Iweb recognize the actions in animations in flash buttons? Is there a code for that?
Thanks,
I dont’ think I totally understand the question, but just use this .swf embed code for your flash button.

Help please.
I’ve cracked it – http://web.me.com/username/Flash/flashfile.swf
I kept on using http:www.me.com etc
i got the flash file working but the site visitor has to enter a password for mobile me for some reason. do you know what this is?
I’ve spent hours trying this.. Not working for me.. I’ve tried every which way.
Does it have something to do with mobile me family pack??
