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.
Macromedia Generator provides a way to serve dynamic Web content. You can create Generator files with Flash 4, 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 Object palette. |
| 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 HTML Source inspector.
The Generator server attempts to obtain values to plug into the template from a database file; if no database file is available, the server uses the name=value pairs that you supplied here while inserting the object.
