in the Navigation Bar Options window
it asks what images you would like to use as Up button, Down button, Over
Button, and so on,
i'd like to know how to use a Flash Animation, as that image...
when i tried putting its location (eg. c:/site/buttons/button.fla) into the
field, and uploaded it to the site. When i viewed it in browser, or even in the
dreamweaver window, it shows no image, or flash animation, only the
'descriptive text'.
I'd like to know if you can use a flash animation as a button on the
Navigation Bar

A Flash movie is not an image. It is an interactive program that is
embedded in a web page with completely different markup than that used
to insert an image.

That also means that, being interactive, users can click on various
portions of the movie and the movie can respond to those clicks. In
order to accomplish that, the Flash movie captures the mouse actions and
uses them internally. Those mouse actions are not surfaced to the
browser, so the browser cannot react to them in any way without the
Flash ActionScript telling it to. This is all a round about way of
telling you that you cannot do what you are asking.

If that is not possible, how can i insert this flash 'movie' as a flash button, in its place, but not part of the navbar, only appearing as one?

If i cannot insert it in place of the navbar,

WILL IT WORK TO: include it in a rollover image, so that before mouseover it
displays a picture, (jpg, or gif) and then on mouseover switch to the flash
'movie' ?

with this i could put it in place of the current button, without using the
navbar window... yes?

Answering my own question: flash is not an image, so will not work for that
function

instead
can i have only a flash animation, triggered by mouseover, that when clicked
is a link to another page???

Yes, but you'd have to do all that in Flash, not in Dreamweaver.
