Dreamweaver Message "swfobject.registerObject(...)"

If you insert the following extensions into page: Flash Vertical Menu, Snowfall Header, Flash News Line, Flash Image Scroller, Rainbow Header, Horizontal Menu; you can see such Dreamweaver Message:

First of all look through the message, Dreamweaver ask you whether you want to see all instances of this script. So if you want to see and have some programming skills and knowledge - click ‘Yes”, if you haven’t or you don’t want to see – click ‘No” and continue working with DW. This is not our code and our extensions are not related to this in any way. If you want you can contact Adobe Support and ask them about this script or surf the Internet.

When I click insert/Media/Flash Extension and create a folder I do not get the flash box.

it is impossible to save Flash Object in any place (for example, as in folder "documents and settings") You can save file only in Site directory, to so this open your DW, in the menu find ‘Site’ do ‘Manage Sites-> New-> Site’ And set your site, then create your page and save it in your site folder. Or you can open an already made page and then insert Flash Component as it is said in step by step guide.

When I enter the UI, I get this error: “While executing ... , a Javascript error occurred”.

First of all try to clear the DW cache file.

Dreamweaver's cache is kept in a file in its Configuration folder. That file name depends on OS:

  • For Windows  it is WinFileCache-<randomString>.dat
  • For  MAC  it is MacFileCache-<randomString>.dat

      Deleting of that file clears the cache. After restarting Dreamweaver is creating new one.Location of the cache file deffers for each version and operating system. Here is a list of locations depending on DW version and OS:

  • For Dreamweaver CS4:
    • Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>\Configuration
    • XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\<language>Configuration\
    • MAC: MacHD : Users : <username> : Library : Application Support : Adobe : Dreamweaver CS4 : <language> : Configuration :
