Accuweather Gadget Installs Easily

I had another opportunity to install a weather gadget on one of my websites. I followed the instructions in my May 25, 2012 blog and was rewarded with a weather information-packed site.

This is the 630 X 440 size with the Seasons Spring 1 background (jpg image of the web page).

Weather Forecast | Weather Maps

Above is the 180 X 150 size with the Basic Colors Gold background (actual gadget html on blog).

Thanks net Weather!

Publishing a swf file to a website using Dreamweaver 5.5

In my Multimedia course, we produced several projects using Adobe Flash Professional. We were required to put those projects on a webpage using the school server and the Dreamweaver FTP interface.

I learned there are some special steps to make your Flash project display correctly.

Insert> Media> SWF

Click the above sequence when your cursor is in the correct location[where you want the flash project displayed] in either the code or display view.

Dreamweaver prompts you to select the SWF file and an accessibility description. Then Dreamweaver inserts the file with coding.

If you try to preview in a browser, the project will not display correctly.  There is an error given:

My instructor told me to delete the script coding added by Dreamweaver and then it will display.  There was a script code in the head and several lines at the bottom of the body html.  Look for the <script> and </script>, and delete all that code.

I do not know why this fixes the problem, but it was invaluable.
