Integrating Flash and Dreamweaver

We're using Dreamweaver MX 2004. Following tips, from Andreas Heim in "The Edge
Newsletter" dated May 14, 2004, for integrating Flash and Dreamweaver, we tried
to add Flash buttons for navigation in a library file rather than text for the
navigation links. When we checked our work in our IE browser, we receive an
error message stating:

"Error Occurred While Processing Request

Please try the following:

Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct
syntax.
Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.

There is information related to Browser, Remote Address, Referrer Date/Time
and Stack Trace."


All we are trying to do is to have Flash navigation buttons and have the
buttons link to pages on the site...not link to error messages.

What have we done wrong? We have no idea of what ColdFusion is all about nor
do we understand why we were referred to ColdFusion documentation for an error.

Thank you.

I *believe* that using Flash buttons in this way is going to be very
problematic for you. Here's why.

When you have a link in a Library file, that link will look like this -

<a href="../foo.html">

since the Library folder is always at the root level, and no other files can
be in it. Thus, you will always have to go UP one folder level to get to
any other file in the site.

If this file contains a FLASH button, that link is embedded in the Flash
actionscript.

When you insert the library item into a page, and then save the page (say at
the root folder level), that link will be adjusted to look like this -

<a href="foo.html">

BUT - since the Flash button's link is embedded in the actionscript, DW
cannot manage it, so that link will not be changed, and will, therefore, be
broken.

See what I mean?
