hey everyone,

i’m trying to create custom flash buttons for dreamweaver mx, but i can’t seem to get everything working…

has anyone dealt with this problem??

dreamweaver uses .swt files for it’s flash buttons, and only flash 5 will export in the .swt format - but even when i do that, i get errors is dreamweaver mx when trying to select the flash button…please help if you can.

thanks,  
s.

no, i’m correct when i say .swt - it’s the format DW mx uses for it’s flash buttons…if you have DW, look in configuration\>flash objects\>flash buttons.

the error i get is:  
TypeError: defaultParams has no properties
