Apply the Control Shockwave or SWF behavior

Note: This behavior is deprecated as of Dreamweaver 9. To access it, you must select the ~Deprecated menu item from the Add Behavior menu of the Behaviors panel.

Use the Control Shockwave or SWF behavior to play, stop, rewind, or go to a frame in a Shockwave or SWF file.

This behavior only affects animations in the main timeline. It will not control animations occurring inside of movie clips.

  1. Select Insert > Media > Shockwave or Insert > Media > SWF to insert a Shockwave or SWF file.
  2. Select Window > Properties and enter a name for the movie in the upper-left box next to the Shockwave or Flash icon. You must name the movie to control it with this behavior.
  3. Select the item (for example a Play button) with which to control the Shockwave or SWF file.
  4. Choose ~Deprecated > Control Shockwave or SWF from the Add Behavior menu of the Behaviors panel.
  5. Select a movie from the Movie menu.

    Dreamweaver automatically lists the names of all Shockwave and SWF files in the current document. (Specifically, Dreamweaver lists movies with filenames ending in .dcr, .dir, .swf, or .spl that are in <object> or <embed> tags.)

  6. Specify whether to play, stop, rewind, or go to a frame in the movie. The Play option plays the movie starting from the frame where the behavior occurs.
  7. Click OK and verify that the default event is correct. If not, select another event or change the target browser in the Show Events For submenu.

If you’re having trouble getting the behavior to work in a browser, consult this tech note: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_15431.
