Troubleshooting plug-ins
If you have followed the steps to play plug-in content in the Document window, but some of the plug-in content does
not play, try the following:
• Make sure the associated plug-in is installed on your computer, and that the content is compatible with the version
of the plug-in you have.
• Open the file Configuration/Plugins/UnsupportedPlugins.txt in a text editor and look to see if the problematic
plug-in is listed. This file keeps track of plug-ins that cause problems in Dreamweaver and are therefore
unsupported. (If you experience problems with a particular plug-in, consider adding it to this file.)
• Check that you have enough memory. Some plug-ins require an additional 2 to 5 MB of memory to run.
Insert an ActiveX control
You can insert an ActiveX control in your page. ActiveX controls (formerly known as OLE controls) are reusable
components, somewhat like miniature applications, that can act like browser plug-ins. They run in Internet Explorer
with Windows, but they don’t run on the Macintosh browsers. The ActiveX object in Dreamweaver lets you supply
attributes and parameters for an ActiveX control in your visitor’s browser.
After inserting an ActiveX object, use the Property inspector to set attributes of the object tag and parameters for the
ActiveX control. Click Parameters in the Property inspector to enter names and values for properties that don’t appear
in the Property inspector. There is no widely accepted standard format for parameters for ActiveX controls; to find out
which parameters to use, consult the documentation for the ActiveX control you’re using.
?
In the Document window, place the insertion point where you want to insert the content and do one of the
following:
• In the Common category of the Insert panel, click the Media button and select the ActiveX icon .
• In the Common category of the Insert panel, click the Media button and select the ActiveX icon. With the
ActiveX icon displayed in the Insert panel, you can drag the icon to the Document window.
• Select Insert > Media > ActiveX. An icon marks where the ActiveX control will appear on the page in Internet
Explorer.
ActiveX properties
The Property inspector initially displays the most commonly used properties. Click the expander arrow in the
lower-right corner to see all properties.
Name Specifies a name to identify the ActiveX object for scripting. Enter a name in the unlabeled text box on the far
left side of the Property inspector.
W and H Specify the width and height of the object, in pixels.
Class ID Identifies the ActiveX control to the browser. Enter a value or select one from the pop-up menu. When the
page is loaded, the browser uses the class ID to locate the ActiveX control required for the ActiveX object associated
with the page. If the browser doesn’t locate the specified ActiveX control, it attempts to download it from the location
specified in Base.
