Bought a Flash 8 Template

I bought a Flash 8 template for one of my customers. Getting help is like pulling teeth. I make changes by
modifying a .txt file and I observe by clicking index.html. The expressions in the .txt file look like:
&menu1=Home Page
&menu2=About Us
etc...
I don't recognize the language. I have no idea what I am working with. I have CS3 so I have Flash CS3.
I have FTPed what I have and the URL is www.danceations.com I feel like I am out of my element. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thank you. No I know that the text file drives the Index.html and the
.swf is embedded in the index.html but I was wondering what type of script or
whatever is the .txt file made up from. For instance I changed the center
picture and I changed the song being played but I want to change more. For
example I wanted to do away with the open and close player. I removed the
top layer in the Flash.fla file and resaved and republished the .swf but
unfortunately it removed the song i wanted played. I am fairly competent but
this setup has me a bit stumped.

Editing Flash Template

Hello,
I recently bought a flash template. I have edited all the
information that came with it to suit. However now I need to create
new pages, and get them to slide in (like the main pages do) when I
click on the 'Click here for more info" button. How can I create
and get these pages to slide in as the main menu ones do?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks, Mike

Mike,
I am absolutely no expert in this, but I did the same thing
that you did and found that it many cases it was easier to create
completely new movies/animations etc than to try to edit the ones
that are there, unless the changes you want are simple. Assuming
that what you want to change is another FLA file I would first save
all the original files in a separate folder, then save them with
new file names and start experimenting. I found in many cases the
files were pretty complicated and making any changes screwed up the
animations but you can use the originals as guides to determine how
they put the whole thing together. You can often use Fireworks or
Photoshop to create new backgrounds as needed.
This is probably not much help.

Please Help! Flash Template Problem

Hello all. I am in desperate need of some help with coding
problems. I recently bought a flash template for a photography
website. I know flash a bit... (been through about 300 pages in the
flash book) but i'm by no means a pro.
Only problem is I don't have it up so I can't really show you
guys what i'm talking about.
it's a very basic site with categories on the left (animals,
architecture, etc) and thumbnail images on the right. Only problem
is that I've spent hours and hours searching through the supplied
files but i can not for the life of me figure out how to edit those
categories OR the descriptions of each thumbnail that appears under
the category column when the mouse is held over each individual
thumbnail. Almost all the supplied files in the library are
basically blank with outlines of shapes and nothing else. I have no
idea what to do.
Would it be possible to somehow send someone the file (or
maybe i can upload the file to an ftp site?) and have someone just
give it a quick look? I've asked three people at work (whose job it
is to know flash) to find it and none of them can. Thanks in
advance for any help.

All of that seems to be in a file titled: "images.xml". You
can open that file in a text editor. In there you'll see the
category names and the image descriptions. Just change the text to
what you want to see and save the file.

I can't seem to locate the text and buttons on a flash template I bought

Hi Everyone,
I have been working with this flash template I purchased online and can't seem to be able to change the text that is displayed on it's buttons except for the first one. There are four buttons to the side but I can only change the first button's contents as I see them in the "Library". I am new to Flash and learning. Please guide me as to where I can find the other components.
I can only see and change "WorldWide" and "Call Anytime Anywehre" button.
Flash source file posted here:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B8tFparkP0rKMzliNTcxZDktYmQ3My00ZjJiLWFhMDQtNTEzNWExMWZlN Dgx&hl=en&authkey=CKrQwcwF
I would also like to add a link to each button and I can't seem to locate the URL Link button. I am using Adobe Flash CS5.
Much appreciated.

What I described is what your file involves. In your library there is a "text" folder . In that folder are movieclips named txt_1, and txt_2 which hold the text used in your buttons. If you open those movieclips for editing you will see each has four frames with different text in each frame. That is where you need to change your text for the buttons.
If you look at the actionscript in the top layer of those movieclips, you will see how it uses a value assigned to the button/mc to determine which frame it displays....
gotoAndStop(_parent._parent.num);
And if you look at the actionscript applied to the button on the main timeline (select the button with the Actions window open), you will see how that num value gets assigned to each instance...
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 1;
this.hitArea = this.area;

CAN YOU USE A FLASH TEMPLATE IN IWEB?

I have recently created my website using iWeb....albeit with much help from this forum...and am very pleased with the results.
I would like to, however, have my site open with a Flash introduction. I have seen many affordable Flash Templates for sale on the web and am wondering it any of these would successfully work with iWeb. If so:
1. What specs would I need to look for?
2. Does anyone know of a site that sells iWeb compatible Flash intros?
Thanks for all of your answers to my previous posts and hopefully this one as well.

Sandie,
Yes I have used Keynote as an intro and I once used it in swf format. I ended up liking the QT better.
Here is the intro:
http://web.mac.com/abenningfield/iWeb/CameraObscura/Camera%20Obscura%20Intro.htm l
As an example...here is another I created in Keynote:
http://web.mac.com/abenningfield/iWeb/ArchivalGenealogyVault/Archival%20Genealog y%20Vault%20Intro.html
But as far as Adobe Flash goes.....I don't have the pro version (I have Basic) and I got a fully functional demo for 30days. Yeah it did cost about 400 bucks after the 30 day trial. Yikes.
On the right side of this page is a third party flash file that I bought for a dollar. I used the free demo of Flash and put it on my site. After you format the flash file you want.....you don't need to keep Flash unless you want it (I did).
http://web.mac.com/abenningfield/iWeb/CameraObscura/Links.html
But Keynote is great...and yes Kirk is right....wait for the new version.
Also here is another app that converts video to swf:

Flash template adding new gallery sector

Hi All !
Thank you for your attention.I bought a flash tamplate.in description it was like ` no flash experience is required `..thats why i bought it..
but now i can only edit that pictures thats all..
here is my website http://www.zebercet.com.tr
on gallery. there are three sectors..but i cannot add anymore..
i know a little php html but flash is totally different language for me..
If someone could help me..i will be the happiest man on all over the world
thank you so much..

There doesn't seem to be anything at that site address. In any case, it won't do much good to look at the finished flash file. Can you share the template that you downloaded? It is sometimes difficult to adapt templated flash files.

My edits to a flash template will not show up on the web!

Hello all.... I am editing a flash template that I have
downloaded. I have read up on how this is done and here is my
process. I open the .fla file in Macromedia Flash 8, I make some
small changes to some of the text, and then at this point I have
tried a few things... I have clicked the "Done" button, at which
point it exports the file to .swf...... I have clicked file >
publish settings > publish...... and I have clicked file >
export > export movie...... no matter what I do when I go back
into dreamweaver and access the updated files, I can see my
changes. THEY ARE THERE. however when I upload them to my website
and access the page on the web.... the original template shows up.
It is as if nothing was ever changed.... HELP PLEASE I'm going
insane!

Are you positive that you've also uploaded the updated HTML
that reflects the new SWF? Have you cleared your cache in your
browser?

Need help with a flash template

I'm an action script novice, so I downloaded a cool Flash template to beef up a part of a project I'm working on.
That template rotates thumbnails of web sites in a 3D space.
When user clicks on them they launch a new web page.
What I did:
I substituted the web thumbnails with characters and each character has an swf (info on each character) that i would like to load when user clicks on that character. Now, this thumbnail swf is loaded into a holder within a main movie when user clicks on "The Sensetionals" of the main buttons (in that main movie).
What I want to do:
1. When user clicks on each charater, I would like that character's swf to load into the same holder as the thumbnail swf.
Then I would have a close button that will unloadmovie that character swf and load back the thumbnail swf.
2. In the thumbnail swf, i would like to see the names of each character when user rolls over them. It's in the original code now, and shows up when I test the thumbnail swf on its own, but it's not showing up when it plays inside holder of the main movie. AND it's under the shadow/reflections, not readable. So, I would like to see it show up AND on top of the reflections.
Here's the link to view my version.
NOTE: ENTER ENGLISH ONLY
http://www.sensetionals.com/SenseTest/
I hope that's clear and not asking too much, but I'm really stuck and desperate here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the current code inside the thumbnail source file:
stop();
// total is length of label_list OR link_list
// OR total frames inside "flashmo thumbnails"
var total:Number = 13;
// length of label_list array and length of link_list array must be equal
// to length of frames inside "flashmo thumbnails" movieclip
var label_list:Array = new Array( "Dr Anatomy", "Feelix", "Eyeris", "T Buds", "Earl", "Nosey", "Dr Von Micron", "Karlos", "Tiny", "Funguy", "Protozoom", "Virusam", "Bacterio");
var link_list:Array = new Array("AnaTomyMov.swf", "FeelixMov.swf", "EyerisMov.swf", "BudMov.swf", "EarlMov.swf", "NosieMov.swf", "VonMicronMov.swf", "KarlosMov.swf", "TinyMov.swf", "FunguyMov.swf", "ProtozoomMov.swf", "VirusamMov.swf", "BacterioMov.swf");
var radiusX:Number = 330;
var radiusY:Number = 90;
var centerX:Number = 400;
var centerY:Number = 140;
var speed:Number = 0.005;
tn_group_mc._visible = false;
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
for (var i = 0; i<total; i++)
var t = tn_group_mc.duplicateMovieClip("tn"+i, i);
t.tn_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1); t.tn_shadow_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1);
t.fm_label = label_list[i];
t.fm_url = link_list[i];
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/total);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.fm_button.onRollOver = function()
fm_label.text = " " + this._parent.fm_label;
t.fm_button.onRollOut = function()
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
t.fm_button.onRelease = function()
getURL(this._parent.fm_url);
function mover()
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
this.onMouseMove = function()
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX) * 0.0001;

Problem playing an imported flash template in dreamweaver cs5

hi,i just downloaded a flash template from flashmo.com and imported it to dreamweaver cs5 through Insert > media > SWF and it loaded. but the problem is, when i click the live view or play the file in the properties,nothing shows up.except some texts "loading XML data..."
all the flash templates i have downloaded face this prob. i have no idea where is the mistake.
what could be the problem?any help,plz.

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the
FLA file.
- Use the source codes at your own risk after downloading and
flashmo.com is
not responsible for any bugs or errors caused by
ActionScripts."
Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html
and CSS. Flash sites look nice but they are not friendly for
Search Engines
or users who don't have flash player installed on their
system.

I have Macromedia Flash Pro 8 and I am using it to edit a

Using flash template in dreamweaver

Hi,
I am new to dream weaver. JUST NEED A QUICK HINT.
I used a flash template which was available free online to
make my own website - I am using dreamweaver to publish my website
using the flash template i just finished filling out - used a layer
in dream weaver and put .swf file in it (the main file)
I also uploaded the dependent files on web.
When I preview my page in browser it plays the main file
correctly but does not automatically access other files
Problem:
when I play the main 24.swf file in flash - it automatically
accesses different dependent files and plays the files as I want it
to - also plays different page files - but the same file when put
in dreamweaver only plays the intro and then stops and does not
play different page files.
Actual files:
24.swf - is the main page file - when I play this in flash -
it plays intro, contact tab (when clicked), my projects (when
clicked), work experience (when clicked), everything.
I edited different page files my projects (24.1), contact tab
(24.2), work experience (24.3) individually using their .fla files
but still when I update information in this files and save them the
24.swf file automatically picks up the update BUT when I use the
same file in dream weaver for publishing my website, it only goes
till the intro and then stops and shows no view for those 24.1 24.2
24.3 files.
24.fla plays the intro but 24.swf plays everything, I didnt
know it would take me so much time to do a simple upload like this.
I have been working on this problem since last 3 days and
night but need some help now, I got to finish this up by tomorrow
night.
Please help me, I am going crazy because I am a second away
from the whole website but it doesnt show anything right now.
Please please help.
If my explanation doesnt sound clear, please for god sake let
me know.
thank you very much

Edit website flash template - help needed

Hi! I am about to buy a website flash template. Before I buy the template I want to make sure, that I am good enough to edit to my needs.
I downloaded a free flash template and I tried to edit it in my Flash CS5.
I have had a lot of trouble editing it and I can't even figure out how I change the pictures or the text.
Can anyone help me and maybe give me a little tutorial on how to change the template.
Link to the template: http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_247_3d_touch_ring
Thank you!

The photos are taken from a XML file. Open the XML file flashmo_247_photo_list' in dreamweaver and look at the code it'll be easy to fiqure out if you have ever done any sort of HTML coding.
Just incase you have'nt look for Example below taken from the xml file which was provided with the .fla file
"<photo>
<thumbnail>s_photo_003.jpg</thumbnail> Change the image name for a thumbnail here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<filename>photo_003.jpg</filename> Change the image name for a the large image here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<tooltip>Photo Title 03</tooltip>
<description><![CDATA[<p class="subtitle">Photo Title 03 goes here</p><p>In velit urna, <u>convallis id</u>, pharetra in, iaculis sit amet, mi. Praesent consectetur imperdiet mauris. Suspendisse at pede vel lorem pulvinar laoreet. Etiam et neque. Donec dapibus viverra est.</p><p><span class="note">This text is dynamically loaded from the external XML file. This textfield supports HTML and CSS.</span></p>]]></description> Here you have the option to have a discription about the image i usually just have the name of the image.
</photo>"

Problems with Ñ and accents while editing flash template

Hello
Please, someone help!
I have been trying to edit the text of a flash template and when i publish it, i cant see the Ñ and the accents
i have been looking for a solution and i have found over the internet:
system.useCodepage = true;
But that does not work, i still cant see that symbols when the file is published.
this is a dynamic generated text from code inside the fla. i am using cs5.

var menu_label:Array = new Array("BIENVENIDO", "DISEÑO GRAFICO",
                                 "DISEÑO WEB", "PORTAFOLIO",

    e.target.play();

Have you embedded the fonts?
You can do it following these steps (I'm using Flash CS4):
Select the textfield (I think is the fm_label).
In the textfield properties, character, you choose "Character Embedding...".
There, you can choose "Basic Latin" for example.
Then, add the characters you need that aren't in "Basic Latin". For example, ñ.
The image below shows what I said.

My flash template will not play using flash player 7 onwards only 6???

I have a flash template which plays fine when run using flash
player 6.
However when i select flash player 7 or 8 and then run the
template, none
of the menu links on the flash template work???
When i revert back to flash player 6 the menu links work
fine!!!
How do i get the flash template to play using flash player 7
or 8???
Do i have to convert the template to flash player 7 or 8?? If
so, how is this done please?
Can someone help please?
Thank you.

action script in flash 7 and 8 was changes slightly and not
all things
are compatible from flash 6 files.
Go to file - publish setting and under FLASH tab select
version 6 and action script 1.0
This could help. Else you have no choice but redo the
template so it is new player
compatible.
