Step 1: Prepare the page
Before you can begin the specific steps for converting the Flash buttons for your use, some preliminary
work needs to be done. First, make sure that you have added your recordset and any necessary fields. You
can always add more fields from the Bindings panel later, but it??™s good to have one or two in the page to test
the navigation buttons.
Next, add the server-side code. You can accomplish this in one of two ways: Either enter some text and
attach a Recordset Paging server behavior to it, or use Dreamweaver??™s recordset navigation bar from the
Insert ??? Application Object menu. To save time??”and because you??™ll likely be adding multiple controls??”
choose the Application object route by selecting Insert ??? Application Object ??? Recordset Navigation Bar. If
you follow this path, choose the Display Using Text option rather than images. Later, when you delete the
links (but not the code), you??™ll have extraneous files in your local site if you opt for graphics now.
One final bit of prep work before you add the Flash buttons: Add a form to your page if one is not already
present. If you like, give it a unique name; one convention you might try is to identify the forms on your
separate pages with the name theForm.
