An actual VM update, of sorts...

I'm tired, so this is going to be short! An actual VM update....sort of, it's a pinup. And YES, I understand the hand issue-but whatever, I'm tired, and quite frankly don't care. Ok?

As I've been working on websites-one freelance, one for my actual job, I noticed a huge issue with the new Adobe CS3 Dreamweaver (or Dreamweaver 9). For some reason, the Javascript that is written into Dreamweaver, when you embed a flash movie into it, does not work on almost every single browser. I've yet to figure this out. But, when I took the code that the Macromedia Version 8 uses when embedding Flash movies into Dreamweaver 8, the site works fine. The main issue is really Internet Explorer, which seems to hate everything flash, and after doing some digging online, I discovered that you can overwrite the code (and it's recommended to do so anyways instead of using the default code Dreamweaver chucks out.) It does annoy me that on a new advanced "Design Premium" suite that is supposed to facilitate the migration of files and interworking between Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and Flash, that the whole reason behind flash (to make movies that embed into HTML sheets) pretty much grinds to a complete and utter halt upon reaching embedding Flash movies into Dreamweaver. And I know you can turn it into a java SWF object and blah blah blah, but I think that this new software should have come ready to go! Simplify instead of embedding and running back over the code to either alter the javascript or remove it altogether. How annoying. I don't have to do that in Flash 8. I love you Flash and Dreamweaver 8. I miss you Macromedia and your simplicity. Sigh.

PS. Loved the new Harry Potter. Just had to share.
