If you inserted a Shockwave movie, be sure to enter the correct width and height dimensions in
the Property inspector. Dreamweaver supplies this information automatically for Flash files.
7. Preview the Flash or Shockwave movie in the Document window by clicking the Play button in
the Property inspector. You can also choose View ??? Plugins ??? Play.
8. End the preview of your file by clicking the Stop button in the Property inspector or choosing
View ??? Plugins ??? Stop.
The code inserted is a recently evolved amalgam of techniques designed to work across browsers old and
new. The previously accepted method is to use an tag nested within an tag; together,
these two tags covered both browsers that used Internet Explorer??“devised ActiveX controls ()
and those that used the Netscape LiveConnect method (). In February, 2006, in response to a
patent lawsuit, Microsoft modified Internet Explorer 6 to require action from the user??”typically a mouse
click??”before ActiveX-based active content would play. This meant that all Flash movies, whether they
were just eye-candy or essential navigation, would not display unless clicked on by the site visitor.
To work around this restraint, while staying outside of the patent infringement, Adobe (then Macromedia)
developed a JavaScript based solution.
