I'll name the file subheading_companydirectory.swf. 9. To commit what you've done, click OK. The new Flash-based text appears as the subheading on the page as shown in Figure 20.10. Figure 20.10.

Save your work. If you added a rollover state and want to preview it, you can accomplish this right within Dreamweaver. Highlight the text and, in the Properties Inspector, click the Play button. When you mouse over the text, you'll see it switch to the color you specified in the Insert Flash Text dialog. NOTE Although Flash buttons and text are powerful features, I encourage you to use these features only when they serve a purpose. If you have no other Flash content in your document, don't start by using one of these options. It doesn't make sense to require the end user to have a plug-in simply to view a piece of text or a button that otherwise could have been made in a graphics program such as Fireworks and exported as an image. From an aesthetics standpoint, I discourage anyone from using Flash buttons on a professional site. I say this not to downplay or take away from this easy-to-use functionality, but because anyone who is the least bit familiar with Dreamweaver will be able to pinpoint your recognizable buttons as stock Dreamweaver Flash creations. Furthermore, Flash text presents accessibility issues (for example, non-desktop browsing devices can't decipher Flash text) and hides what would otherwise be readable text from search engines.             Managing Links in Flash Movies with Dreamweaver A lot of Flash developers rely heavily on Flash movies in their websites. Some use Flash entirely, embedding the Flash movie within an HTML page in Dreamweaver while others simply use smaller Flash movies as interactive pieces in a mostly HTML-based user interface. Others still use the catchy animations that Flash can create to replace an existing navigation menu. In these scenarios, modifying links in the Flash movies can become a nightmare. Not only do you have to open the original FLA/MOV file within Flash, you have to modify the link and then re-export the movie as a SWF file to replace the existing movie within the HTML document. Fortunately, Dreamweaver solves this problem by adding features to its site management window that aid in working with Flash-based links directly from Dreamweaver. As you have seen thus far, Dreamweaver prompts you to update links within a site when you move files (that include dependencies) in the Files list. Dreamweaver either automatically fixes the broken reference to the moved file or it prompts you to do so. As nice as that functionality is, it doesn't stop with plain HTML files. Dreamweaver extends its link management features to include SWF files. What this means is that if files are moved within your site listeven if the broken references are within an SWF fileDreamweaver automatically fixes those links within the movie file.
