Chapter 1: Introduction The Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 API Reference describes the application programming interfaces (APIs) that let you perform various supporting tasks when developing Adobe® Dreamweaver® CS3 extensions and adding program code to your Dreamweaver web pages. These APIs include the main JavaScript API, which provides access to much of the core functionality of Dreamweaver (generally anything that can be done with a menu, and more), and various utility APIs for performing such common tasks as reading and writing files, transferring information with HTTP, and communicating with Fireworks and Flash. The utility APIs contain subsets of related functions that let you perform specific types of tasks. The utility APIs include: • The File I/O API, which lets you read and write files on the local file system • The HTTP API, which lets you send and receive information from a web server • The Design Notes API, which lets you store and retrieve notes about Dreamweaver documents • The Fireworks Integration API, which lets you communicate with Adobe Fireworks • Flash Integration, which contains information about adding Flash elements to the Dream- weaver user interface (UI) and details on the Flash Objects API (which lets you build objects that create Adobe Flash content) • The Database API, which lets you access information stored in databases and manage database connections • The Database Connectivity API, which lets you create a new connection type and corresponding dialog boxes for new or existing server models • The JavaBeans API, which retrieves class names, methods, properties, and events for JavaBeans that you have defined • The Source Control Integration API, which lets you write shared libraries to extend the Dreamweaver Check In/Check Out feature
