Install Spry widgets to Dreamweaver's Insert bar

Report · Nov 05, 2007

Hi. I'm trying to work out how to add Spry widgets to Dreamweaver's Insert bar.

I downloaded Spry for Ajax 1.6 and copied the the contents of the SpryTooltip Folder.

I did a search in Adobe Dreamweaver's program folder for everything Spry.

I pasted SpryTooltip everywhere in Dreamweaver that Spry references exist. I even created a .png icon for Spry ToolTip in:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3\configuration\Objects\Spry

I opened Dreamweaver and there it was in my insert bar! My icon for Spry tooltip!

I tried to insert it into a blank age and got the message: "Trigger event missing" or something like that.

I'm sure there must be a way to add these new widgets to Dreamweaver's insert bar in the Spry group.

Can someone please tell me how to do it. Starting with SpryTooltip.

and...

I might as well go ahead and ask how to add new Spry Effects to Dreamweaver's behavior panel as well. Let's say "Pulsate" for an example.

Thank you!
Dameon

Hi Dameon,
I've backported some of the Spry 1.5 objects to Dreamweaver MX and put
together an extension,
you may want to look trough it to see if it gives you any ideas

So this one works then!?!

Will this work with CS3? Do you have any plans to make (or post) 😉 an
extension using Spry 1.6 objects?

Since this stuff is already supposed to be integrated with CS3...
no I don't think so, Spry kindof lost its appeal to me, especially the way
it's integrated in the behaviors bloats the page,
I've asked for a change in the behaviors API allowing behaviors without the
need to embed a function in the page,
but if this will ever be implemented it'll probably take until DW10
