Flash Buttons not available -Student version

I don't really think the problem is limited just to the Student Version, I'm using the full version and am having the same problem (which is driving me nuts)

Previous posts I've seen on the subject indicate that these options have been removed in the CS4 versions!

James, Flash text and Flash buttons were removed for several reasons. First of all, they were quite primitive in the effects they created. More importantly, many inexperienced designers used them without understanding the implications of embedding text and navigational elements in Flash. Any Flash elements need the user to have the Flash player embedded in their browser. Although Flash Player is very widespread, its use is not 100 percent universal. As a result, such people see no content or navigation if everything is embedded in Flash elements. If you understand how to use Flash, you should create such elements in Flash CS4 Professional or Flex.

If this is true then I would like to be the one to decide whether I should use this option for the Web I'm creating!

I'd really hate to manually have to add these codes into everypage, and although I've used Dreamweaver since it's first version, doing this may perhaps get me to re-evaluate whether or not to switch to MS Expression which will me a hassle but all the same I will do!

Anyhow, I hope this get's fixed, cause I think the extensions are an important part of the software! Alot of us have been using the software since it was first released and I think it sucks that these options are not included since they have been a major part of the software from the very beginning!

Good Luck and if ya find an answer let me know cause I've been looking for one for a couple days now.

Unfortunately for you, the Flash button feature (and several other features) were removed from Dreamweaver CS4: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS2C41F19D-502B-4fb5-8A54-4442E2127C84a.html

You may want to search for Flash buttons to see what other options you have for obtaining the code you'll need to insert into your page:
