Using Design Notes with media objects As with other objects in Dreamweaver, you can add Design Notes to a media object. To add Design Notes to a media object: 1 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the object in the Document window. Note: You must define your site before adding Design Notes to any object. See "About Design Notes" on page 134. 2 Choose Design Notes from the context menu. 3 Enter the information you want in the Design Note. You can also add a Design Note to a media object from the Site window by selecting the file, revealing the context menu, and choosing Design Notes from the context menu. For details, see "About Design Notes" on page 134. About Flash content Macromedia Flash technology is the premier solution for the delivery of vectorbased graphics and animations. Flash Player is available as both a Netscape Navigator plugin and an ActiveX control for Microsoft Internet Explorer on the PC, and it is incorporated in the latest versions of Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Windows, and America Online. Before you use the Flash commands available in Dreamweaver, you may want to review the three different Flash file types. The Flash file (.fla) is the source file for any project and is created in the Flash program. This type of file can only be opened in Flash, not in Dreamweaver or in browsers. You can open the Flash file in Flash, then export it as an SWF or SWT file to use in browsers. For more information, see "Using Flash button objects" on page 301 and "Creating new button templates" on page 306. The Flash movie file (.swf) is a compressed version of the Flash (.fla) file, optimized for viewing on the Web. This file can be played back in browsers and previewed in Dreamweaver, but cannot be edited in Flash. This is the type of file you create when using the Flash button and text objects. For more information, see "Using Flash button objects" on page 301 and "Using Flash text objects" on page 304. The Flash Generator template (.swt) files enable you to modify and replace information in a Flash movie file. These files are used in the Flash button object, which lets you modify the template with your own text or links, to create a custom SWF to insert in your document. In Dreamweaver, these template files can be found in the Dreamweaver/Configuration/Flash Objects/Flash Buttons and Flash Text folders. 300 Chapter 13
