Customize Dreamweaver MX to Your Needs
This tutorial demonstrates how you can setup and customize Dreamweaver the way you want to use it. Though it pertains to Dreamweaver MX, many of the examples and tweaks shown here can be performed in earlier versions. You will be updating the Dreamweaver config file in the /Configuration/ directory. Backing up of this file is recommended and it needs to be modified by a text editor, not by Dreamweaver itself.
Animation in Dreamweaver
This tutorial shows you how to perform animation in a Web page using a Dreamweaver inspector called the "TimeLine Inspector". Dreamweaver is able to generate this animation by using JavaScript, which does this by coordinating the location of an object or image with the time between each location. A Dreamweaver animation created in a Web page must have at least one start and one end point.
Easy Flash with Dreamweaver 4
This tutorial shows you how to use the tools in Dreamweaver 4 to quickly add simple Flash movies directly to your Web pages. The tools to add Flash are Flash Text and Flash Buttons, and the designs are built into these tools. The controls to use to do this are all in the Objects panel, starting with the Common Objects panel.
Dreamweaver 8 Reviewed
Here is a review of
Dreamweaver 8, detailing the pros, and outlining the
cons, of this release to
help you make a purchasing decision on it. The user
experience of Dreamweaver 8 is basically the same as the previous
versions. The panels are all about the same,
located in the same locations, and the toolbars and tabs are identical.
However, deep inside the application, Dreamweaver 8 does
provide some brand new features and ways of doing things. For one
thing, for web developers, this version provides an almost real
coding IDE, which offers new features for writing better code
quicker, for those who don't want a WYSIWYG editor.
Review - Dreamweaver MX 2004
In Dreamweaver MX 2004, Macromedia has redone the look and feel of the user interface, but these changes are basically skin deep, and all features and functionality works pretty much the same way it did in Dreamweaver MX and Dreamweaver 4. The most important update is better support for CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), including complete pop-up hints for hand-coding CSS. The major feature of this new CSS funcationality in this release is the Relevant CSS Panel.
