Unless you’re on a fiber-optic connection, having more than three videos is probably going to choke slightly and you’ll get either a QuickTime Q or the blank frame on Flash. Unless, as somewhat mentioned, you put a first image on the first frame, and then the video on the second frame (all this in Flash) or utilize a poster.
There isn’t a good reason to instantly start more than one video upon entering a page. At least, from the user experience point of view. Too chaotic, no focus on the page. Now, if you’re using some kind of video wall effect, then it’s probably better to combine several vids into one larger wall and load that one video to avoid multiple http requests.
As for specifically using Dreamweaver to build a page, you might also look into using JQuery for a carousel type of interface and of course Dreamweaver to pull it all together but as great as Dreamweaver is, there’s a certain point where actual coding can’t be replaced by pull-down menu items.
If you have a site example, that might help us point you in a good direction.

Gads. Ok, that makes sense. Thanks!

I’ve wondered about this as well. I’m in R10 and in the Illustrator import pref’s it says “1” which I would think means 1:1 but a file I have is 13.75″ (inches) wide. The C4D file I have is set to pref units inches. When I merge, the AI file comes it about 306 inches.
I have an object I created w/in C4d at 13.75″ x 3.25″ x 10″ but then import the Illustrator file at the same size and they don’t match.
The real bugger is that in C4d w/units at Inches, I create a cylinder and enter 1.5 inches for diameter which the Object Properties says it is. However, it’s twice that. When I enter 1.5 in the x and y of the Size in the Coordinates palette, it sizes correctly but then the Object properties says it’s .75″.
I’d like to know why the Object Properties don’t reflect the Object size?

or, try making it some medium-dk color and set the layer to multiply. Add a very, very slight drop shadow or even a bevel effect with the ‘fill’ set to something like 90%

holy cow… just select them all and choose none..sorry, it’s been too long…. however, for a 50+ layer doc with scattered layers, it would still be nice to say “Choose all type layers and make the anti-aliasing none”
I have scripting for PS CS3 but haven’t found a way to have PS qualify a layer.

I realize this is starting over, but after about 10 minutes of reading, 10 more of using this, you’ll be done:

Are you actually exporting or saving as or even printing and choosing file for pdf? How are you actually creating the pdf?
Did you actually create an InDesign Book file or is it just a document?
I need to look closer at CS4 but knowing these two things will help.
Someone else may immediately know why, but I’ll take a crack.

You need to be sure the InDesign file is correctly formatted.. you are using style sheets, right? So the stories should all be wrapping until you have actually entered one return for a new paragraph. What you can do is search and replace all instances of a return with two returns.
Then, select all (the whole document) and export the text as Rich Text Format (extension of .rtf). This will give you raw text with basic formatting, ie.. bold, italic, paragraphs etc.
This will give you the text with options that can easily be searched and replaced with particular css/html tags that will get you what you need.
Are you doing the conversion and posting or are you just to supply the text to a web person?

Select all elements on a page, group, then resize. Your type will scale down so then you’ll have to ungroup all and adjust the style sheet accordingly.

Generally speaking, a banding issue is the result of too much space between too small of a difference. The addressability of the image setter doesn’t have enough points (data) to smooth it out.
Within InDesign, see how much more shading you can introduce and maintain the look and feel. So if the darkest is, say 80% and the lightest is 70% and the size of the circle is about 2″, then try going from %83 to 67%.
What I always did when I had any banding was create the gradation in Photoshop then add 1/2 pixels of random noise via the Add Noise filter and that always solved it.
With only 256 shades of gray in Postscript, trying to stretch a gradation of only 12% or less difference in shade over a large area, you’re going to get those hard edges because there just isn’t enough room for the gradation. The noise provides ‘relief’ of sorts to maintain a gradation rather than a hard line.
