Creating the Webpage
- Go to Mr. Kimura’s Public folder (just like when you put things into my dropbox).
- Locate the folder named “Flash Workfiles.” Inside this folder find the folder named “myname” and drag this to your desktop.
- Change the name of the folder to reflect your own name (last name first initial) We'll call this your "Webpage folder"
- Open the folder and change the name of the HTM file to reflect your name.
- Put all your thumbnail images (the JPEGs that you made) into the folder named "thumbnails"
- Put all your SWF files into the folder named "images"
- Open the HTM file in Dreamweaver. NOTE: DO NOT DRAG ANY IMAGES ONTO THE DREAMWEAVER PAGE!
- In the source code, find and replace all instances of the text string “myname” and replace it with your name (last-name-first-initial see image below).
- Go to the Edit menu > Find and Replace...
- IMPORTANT: Change the Search setting ("text") to "Source Code"
- Type myname in the Find field
- Type your last-name-first-initial into the Replace field
- Click the Replace All button

- A window opens that shows all the replaced code - close this window
- On the page, manually change the Full name, semester and block number by highlighting the text and re-typing the correct information.
- Delete any unused thumbnails by clicking on the thumbnail and pressing the delete key.
- SAVE (if you haven't already done so)
- Test your htm file in Safari (or FireFox)
- Find the htm file in the finder and drag it onto the Safari icon in your dock
- Click on each thumbnail and make sure the proper SWF files open and play.
- Open the file named “web_write-up.pages” and follow the directions found there.
