Inserting Generator objects
Macromedia Generator provides a way to serve dynamic Web content. You can
create Generator files with Flash 4 or 5 using free Generator authoring templates;
the files are then served by a Web server running Generator server software. You
can insert a Generator object into a Dreamweaver document.
To insert a Generator object:
1
In the Document window, place the insertion point where you want to
insert the object.
2
Click the Generator button in the Objects panel.
3
In the dialog box that appears, select a Generator template (.swt) file.
4
If desired, click the Plus (+) button to add a
name = value
parameter pair. Then
enter a name for the parameter in the Name field, and a value for the parameter
in the Value field. Repeat this step for each parameter.
5
To remove a parameter, select it in the Parameters list and click the
Minus (–) button.
6
When you finish entering parameters, click OK to insert the Generator object.
To edit the parameters after the Generator object has been inserted, use the Code
inspector or the Code view of the Document window.
The
name=value
pairs are used by the Generator server, in conjunction with other
data sources, to dynamically create the Flash movie or image file.
