Default flash text and flash buttons in DW CS4 - 03-30-2009 , 09:37 AM






Hi,
I have installed DW CS4 on my pc with Vista Home Premium 64 Bit...I have edit
my website homepage and I have discovered that I can't edit all flash text and
buttons that I have created with DW CS3! I have see that the adobe has removed
from CS4 version this option! So, now how I can resolve this problem??
I have try to install also the CS3 version but I don't understand because I
can't no more activated it from internet or phone option!

I'm very angry for this, now I have to recreate from the begin all flash text
and buttons of my website with other software? perhaps to buy also the Flash
CS4 version for the solution? is this the new idea of adobe with their new CS4
version?

It was a poor choice on Adobe's part to ever include such an option, and on
your part for using it. Think about it -

1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do? Especially
consider those people who are browsing from a corporate internet where Flash
is not allowed by the IT staff.
2. Search engines may not parse Flash links - your site will not be
spidered unless you have redundant HTML links
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do? You will have
to remake those buttons.

It's almost always a very bad idea for these reasons.

The solution is to make graphics to replace the Flash elements, or just use
CSS styled text.
