I'm having this same issue with Dreaweaver CS6 on the Mac desktop application. At least it does not crash the application for me. I just close the yellow banner. My HTML was cheacked and validated. I also reset preferences for the application by changing the names of the preferences folders, thus forcing new reset folders to appear. I have no Flash anywhere on my site. In fact, I made a point of avoiding Flash, and even Javascript, and went with CSS tricks instead. Flash is no longer supported on Firefox in any event. It would be nice to know if there is some library file that could be deleted to prevent this.

    That's what happens when you cling to outdated software.  Technology comes and goes.  Flash is end of life now.  Meanwhile CS6 remains unchanged since it released almost a decade ago.  And I suspect the manner in which your site was built is probably out of date by modern web standards, too. 

     

    To explain why your site is sending up yellow Flash Plugin warnings, we would need to see the site.  It could be some hold over script in the code that you're unaware of.  Or it could just be CS6 is showing its advanced age and it's time to get modern software.

     

    As an experiment, copy & paste the following code into a new blank document. 

    • Save it to your local site folder as video_test.html.
    • Close the file. 
    • Restart DW. 
    • Re-open the test page.

    Do you see any Flash Plugin warnings with this video_test page?

    Moved to a new topic; the other topic had been correctly answered and was for a different version of Dreamweaver.

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
