Re: Can't Save Flash Text

I don't understand this reply. When you talk of copying the code into the
reply, are you asking him to send you the code so you can assess what's going
on? I have this same problem and would like to know how to resolve it and I
can't tell by your response, sorry!

Here is my code, BTW:
file:///DIANA'S 2G/Inclass Site/index.html

I am on iMac with OS X Version 10.5.5
Help!

"welcome.swf is an invalid file name. Please enter a different name."

Are you using mac os?

as a guess from years of this- there is a "funky" character in the hd name,
your username, or a folder name in the path to this local site folder. Dw
trips up on the character and can't resolved the path to the local site
folder.

so it doesn't create Flash Text or Flash Buttons and gives an Undefined
Error.

And will give constant nags that "the selected homepage is not in the local
site folder"

please do this.
open a new dw document using File->new
-->don't save this file<--
type some text, select it, and using the property inspector's Browse to File
folder icon make a link to this site's "homepage"

view the code, copy the link code and paste into reply.

it should be an absolute full hard drive path like this:
href="file=///hdname/Users/username/folder/folder/file.html"

technote: "File or folder name in Mac OS may break Dreamweaver
functionality"

He's asking for the poster to copy the code and paste it into a reply to
this forum so that we can all see what is happening.

Just so you'll know, using Flash text is always a bad idea - the whole thing
is being removed from DWCS4 as a result.

Here is my code, BTW:
file:///DIANA'S 2G/Inclass Site/index.html

Never name your hard drive/computer using an apostrophe. It'll drive you and
DW mad. Of course, we cannot see that file since it is on your hard drive.
