In DW you can set the site settings so it knows where you testing server is
located and DW will preview by linking to that server for you and including
the http://. See "Testing Server" under Sites->Manage Sites.
You will need to your site folders inside the local test server folders:
See "Testing Server Folder". You set the testing server URL to that: See
"URL Prefix".
This is all a part of the DW features to allow you to test and debug server
side scripted applications within DW before moving them to production.
----------------------------------
I do not use it however just to test Flash movies.
If I have no reason to change the Flash movie HTML (or server script), I do
not have DW open to reduce overhead in the computer. What I do is have a
browser window open and load the Flash HTML (or script) document using the
http:// in that and just hit refresh after I publish. One problem you can
run into with that however is if your local cache setting do not refresh the
swf, then you need to tweak the caching choice or close and reopen the web
browser.

Thank you for your feedback, i have now set up a testing server senario to
ensure that this does not cause any trouble.. I am still however uploading
to the test server from dreamweaver on each change, I'm sure i can do this
better, I'll look into this.
Many thanks
Koop.
