Navigating Recordsets with Flash Buttons
Flash buttons are an excellent Dreamweaver tool for adding lively navigation aids to your Web page, but
they??™re intended for page-to-page linking, not recordset navigation. However, with a little additional work,
you can adapt standard or custom Flash buttons to control Dreamweaver??™s Recordset Paging server behaviors.
Flash buttons are actually Adobe Generator Templates that, when processed by Dreamweaver, become Flash
movies. As a Generator Template, the link information is compiled into the Flash movie and is not accessible
for server-side processing??”a necessity for moving from one record to another. Enabling Flash buttons
to control recordset navigation requires four main components:
n Server-side code for moving from record to record
n A JavaScript call from the Flash button
n A JavaScript function in the of the document
n A hidden field variable in a form
The first requirement is actually the easiest because Dreamweaver provides the necessary server-side code.
The following sections lead you through the entire process.
