n If you encounter trouble inserting dynamic images into your Web applications, chances are you??™re
not doing anything wrong in Dreamweaver. The error may lie in your database setup. It??™s key to
store the path and/or filename of the images in the data source as a text field rather than as a
hyperlink.
n Dreamweaver does not support loading images as binary images from data sources, otherwise
known as Binary Large Objects (BLOBs).
n Flash movies??”in fact, any multimedia file??”can be dynamically inserted into a Dreamweaver
page. Again, storing just the filename or the filename and path in the database field is the best
approach.
n Any attribute, whether of a multimedia object or regular image, can be dynamically derived. The
Parameters dialog offers options for inputting either dynamic or static attributes and values on
multimedia objects, and the Bindings panel allows you to bind dynamic data to attributes.
In the next chapter, you see how to begin managing your data in Dreamweaver.

include the surrounding look-and-feel but also how the data itself is structured.
