I have adobe dreamweaver cs3, flash, photoshop and i am wondering how to?

Question

make a website using all of the programs for example can you design a web layout in flash and import it to dreamweaver then add page links their ect? I basically need to know the whole process of how you can arrange things, i am able to do page layouts in dreamweaver but in table form any ideas?

Answer 1

this is the order i would do it



i would create a design in photoshop, then slice it up



then i would use dreamweaver to create the layout, styles etc and import the images where they need to go



the last would be the flash, create the flash then import them into dreamweaver



it not really important that doing the layout comes before the flash, it just gives you a better idea of the flash design, but it is a very good idea to have a template image first, that way you will know the sizes and layout etc that you will need to make in dreamweaver

Answer 2

You definitely don't want to design a site in Flash then import the graphics into Dreamweaver. Only use Flash when you want to make a Flash site (thus you won't need Dreamweaver). The typical process is this - Create your designs in either Photoshop or Illustrator, "slice" the graphics out as either jpgs, gifs or pngs (depending on what kind of graphics they are) using Save for Web under File, then in DW build the html structure (aka templates/pages) for the site. The use DW to ftp (upload) the files and graphics to your web host.

Sorry, no. Once a software company releases a new version of the software, they pull the trials for any previous version. And that Photoshop Support site, although it says Photoshop CS3 trial is only really offering the CS4 trial (they probably link back to the Adobe website, since that's the only legal source for the Adobe product trials).

Answer 4

Yes u can import flash into dreamweaver. Please note that the extension of the flash should be .swf and then in dreamweaver go to menu Insert>Media>Flash and browse to the flash file you want to import.

Best way is to place your cursor where you want to put the flash and then go to insert menu and follow the above steps.

I hope this would help you.
