Currently, I have a web site written in html with some links to some inveractive stuff created by Opus Pro v6.4. Each page in the website can be reached by a simple menu toolbar at the top of each html page.

The links point to the separate html file that is automatically created when Opus 6.4 is published (when publication type is flex).

Because of this, a new window is opened with the flex interactive publication in it. For the user to go back to the website page where he clicked the link, he must close the window.

I am thinking that it would all look a bit more professional if the new window had the standard menu toolbar at the top, so that the user could move back to their original page more easily.

Can this simply be achieved by opening the html file automatically created by Opus Pro and merrily adding the bits of html code that gives the menu toolbar? Should this work OK- or is this not possible?

I tried opening the html file produced by Opus in Dreamweaver and I get the message:
"This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."

Can I safely ignore this message?...i.e. can I open it in Dreamweaver, do my html development and save it without it messing up the swf stuff?

p.s.
to see how it looks at the moment go to:

then click on the first link you get to in the body text to take you to a flash page.

Hi Mark

You don't need to import the html file into Dreamweaver, only the swf. Just open Dreamweaver, create a table + layout cell that's the same size as your Opus Flex program, then click the Insert Flash icon. Save this as an html page, then provide a link to it on your other html pages. You won't be able to see the resut until you upload everything to the server.

Or am I missing something?

Thanks Roger,

Got it - yes it was that simple. I'm very much a beginner with html and not even that advanced when combining with flash.
