Flash in template

I've created an htm page with a flash banner and it worked
just fine. Then I converted the page into a template, but now if I
create a new page based on that template the flash banner doesn't
work. I don't get an error or empty space or anything, it just
isn't displayed at all.
Is it possible to get the flash into the template or would I
need to manually add it to every page?

Your best bet would be to make the link in the template file
a root relative
one.

  • Flash Gallery Template not working as expected

    I am very new to Flash and barely know ActionScript. I have created a flash gallery using the in built template in Flash8, which works fine. The gallery forms part of my gallery page of a separate SWF flash site. I load the gallery using a loder component. Since the gallery navigation works by targeting the root folder, my site gets screwed up. The question is, how do i modify the ActionScript in the gallery.fla file (flash inbuilt template), so that once loaded into the main site, it doesnt target the root timeline, but targets its own timeline i.e. the gallery's own timeline. I hope i'm making sense?
    Please see below for the code in the Flash Gallery. PS: I didnt write the code - its inbuilt into the template:
    function updateFrame (inc) {
    // send slides to new frame
    newFrame = _level1._currentFrame + inc;
    _level1.gotoAndStop(newFrame);
    updateStatus();
    if (_level1._currentFrame == 1) {
      prevBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
    } else {
      prevBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
    if (_level1._currentFrame == _level1._totalFrames) {
      nextBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
    } else {
      nextBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
    function updateStatus () {
    _level1.statusField = _level1._currentFrame + " of " + _level1._totalFrames;
    function autoplayInit () {
    startTime = getTimer();
    hideControls();
    updateStatus();
    function autoplay () {
    if (autoplayStatus != 0) {
      // get the current time and elapsed time
      curTime = getTimer();
      elapsedTime = curTime-startTime;
      // update timer indicator
      indicatorFrame = int(4/(delay/(elapsedTime/1000)));
      indicator.gotoAndStop(indicatorFrame+1);
      // if delay time if met, goto next photo
      if (elapsedTime >= (delay*1000)) {
       if (_level1._currentframe == _level1._totalframes) {
        _level1.gotoAndStop(1);
       } else {
        _level1.nextFrame();
       autoplayInit();
    function hideControls () {
    nextBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
    prevBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
    updateFrame();
    autoplayStatus = 0;

    use this._lockroot=true in your template.

  • Edited Flash Website Template Won't Accept Changes When Published.

    Hi, All,
    I didn't think this was going to be so difficult.  After I purchased and downloaded a "complete flash website template" file from the internet, I uploaded the file into my local_site file and then into Dreamweaver 8
    The template included files called Flash.swf, Flash.fla, FlashMX2004.swf and FlashMX2004.fla.
    I have been able to customize the flash files in Flash 8 and import them back into Dreamweaver8 but when I publish the site, the changes will not take effect in Dreamweaver8 or on the internet webpage.
    I've had this project since September and I've  read as much as I could read! (...both in Dreaweaver8 and Flash8)
    There is obviously something that I keep overlooking. Am I suppose to be changing something else in addition to the .swf and .fla files?
    HELP!
    www. freelanceshoot.com
    Thanks in advance.

    The fla file is what you edit and then you publish it to a swf file.  The swf file is what you upload to your webserver.
    Are you publishing the fla file and then uploading?  If yes, then you may want to double check the location to where you are uploading to make sure that the html page is also pointing to the same location.

  • Flash Card Template Help

    Hello, I need to make "flash cards" for a final project. However, when I try to download a flash card template it will not download on the my computer because it is a mac. What I am really looking for is a template or something that I can put into word and then print off because this project has to be like a game. I was going to use this template so that all the cards were equal size and the project did not look like it had been put together in 5 minutes. What would the best option be? Thank you!

    Looks like you downloaded a Windoze app. Try this one. http://www.loopware.com/iflash/

  • 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.
    Joepd

    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.

  • User Content & Flash Slideshow Template

    I've been asked to create a Flash photo template, which will
    enable users to drag and drop photos to create a customized video
    using the template I had set up. However, I am fairly new to Flash,
    and I am not entirely what the foundation of this project will look
    like. Should I be working with cue points? xml data? And how will
    the application know how to integrate files from another computer?
    I don't need someone to walk me through the entire process, because
    I am sure it is somewhat lengthy. I am mainly looking for a
    starting ground. If anyone can help out, that would be greatly
    appreciated.

  • Flash button template

    Dreamweaver CS3 uses flash button templates to insert buttons
    where you can add behaviour like linking to other pages.
    The button templates are quite ugly so I would like to use my
    own style. In Flash CS3 however, you cannot publish or save as a
    flash template.
    Therefore I have to add the behaviour in the button itself
    and than bring it on stage.
    As I have at least 20 pages with forward and backwards
    buttons (I develop online training with Captivate, Flash and
    Dreamweaver) that means 40 different buttons for each online
    module!
    There must be a simpler solution, I hope.
    Can anybody help?

    Why use Flash buttons at all?
    > There must be a simpler solution, I hope.
    As far as I know, this is the only way to do it.

  • PLEASE HELP - Flash Website template

    Hello
    I purchased a pretty cool flash website template for our film company and I have edited almost all of the website but I cannot figure out how to get my movie files to appear and play on my Portfolio page.
    Pleeeeeease help me. I am willing to send you the website files or you can go to www.discopoetfilms.com .
    I just want to figure this out. I am very new at flash so I really need detailed information or step by step.

    Hi,
    I think most of Flash template use XML file to load media. Look in the folder you purchase if there is an .xml file. If there is one, open it (with Dreamweaver or any other text editing software), inspect the nodes structure and you'll be able to understand how it's built.
    Hope this help !

  • Feedback options in Flash quiz template

    I am a Flash novice using the Flash Quiz template and trying
    to create multiple conditional incorrect feedback responses for
    each question. Currectly the array only has one asset dedicated to

    easy way to add two more conditional incorrect feedback

    Is there no one who knows how to do this?

  • Flash Site Template Help With Text

    So I downloaded a flash template to use for my website... all I need are some editing of the texts, pictures, and some of those links. Here is the template:
    http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/24451.html
    My problem is I'm completely NEW at flash. I used to use FrongPage 2003 for my webdesign but I wanna use this for my new website (since it looks a lot better!) How do I edit the text fields? I can only seem to move the bar along the timeline to watch the animation, and see all the layers and item properties that none have anything with the text in them. And also the images as well, if I need to do anything special with those (within template link above you'll see they flash white for a second) and the main logo has some animation there. I have all the fonts required but I don't know if I also have to make the logo with those special white flashy lines like a GIF animator or if that's just some special affect within the template itself.
    Now due to legal notices specified by the site I can't share the template with you but I'll attempt to answer any and all questions i can to see if I can get this all figured out so I can begin adding my own content to the site. Thanks in advance.

    Doesn't look like there's an xml file for the text. Reading the template help index, and its saying some text might have complex coding for special effects and that I'd have to edit by the Library or something, so I'll try using that reference for now. I appreciate the help and I may come back if this can't help me lol
    EDIT:   It says I'm missing the font file "tahoma" mapped to _sans    ....??  I have tahoma... as well as the main title logo isn't appearing in the .fla file anymore even though I got the correct font. I'm confused >.<
    Edit 2: As well I get this a lot on many different areas:
    Forms Component - Version 0.81
    Couldn't load configuration.

  • Flash in Template Pages

    I placed two Flash object into a template page. Child pages
    made from it worked fine until I made a change to the template.
    After that, the Flash objects are no longer visible when previewed
    in the browser.
    Is this normal? Is there a way around it? Or do I have to
    load the Flash objects into the each and every child page?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    > So it will probably not work there
    > either.
    nope- it won't.
    for flash objects in locked parts of a template to work on
    the child pages,
    they must have a site root relative path because they are
    currently inserted
    with the active content javascript to write them. So the path
    isn't managed
    in the child pages like it is for links and images.
    you could put it in the root level of you own site, with
    unique filenames?
    If there aren't many pages, you could rename them in the
    files panel to
    something like aaa_index.html and aaa_contact.html so they
    are grouped
    together. also be sure to upload the Scripts folder in the
    public root

  • Inserting Flash in Template

    I created a template and an editable region within <td>
    tags. Once I create a document from this template I am able to
    insert text and images but when I try to add flash video I get an
    error saying that inserting the flash would require changing locked
    code. How do I solve this?
    Thanks

    You will have to create a new 'dummy' document, insert the
    Flash on it, and
    then copy -
    a) the link to the external js file from the head, and paste
    it into the
    editable region in the head of your child page
    b) the Flash markup, and paste it into the desired location
    in the body of
    the child page

    Flash cannot be viewed by the most popular web devices (iPhone, iPad, iTouch, modern Androids, etc...), and that list is getting bigger.  Why would you even think of using Flash for your web site?

  • Help needed with Flash web template

    I am working on a flash website for our Boy Scout Troop. It is based on a template purchased on-line.
    I am using Adobe Flash CS4.
    Here is a preview link to the template that I am working with... http://www.easytemplates.com/templates/flash/boy-scout/
    If you click on the "foundation" button, you will see a movie under the Eagle Honor Roll, named "read more". When you click on that movie, it opens a window in the upper left corner of the screen. I am having two issues with this, as well as several other similar movies that look the same, and perform the same function (opening differant text boxs).
    I was able to easily go into the actionscript for each of them and change the name of the title that shows up on the top of the pop up window, but I can't for the life of me find where to edit the text. Every other pop-up window has a seperate movie file which I can edit, but this one does not. I have looked through all of the Symbols multiple times, and there is not one listed. The "read more" movie that is in the left hand box on the information page has a symbol that contains the text. the ones on the "Foundation" and "Our Program" pages do not. How do I change the text, if there is no symbol containing that text?
    I also would like to be able to change the position of the pop-up window when it opens, but cannot find where to do that.
    My other issue is editing the "Gallery" button at the top of the page, to point to a PHP Nuke site, that I am going to use for content management. I have found several tutorials on-line mentioning the use of the "on release get URL" command, but everytime I try to use it, it just breaks the animation on the button, and still does not open the URL in question. I have attached a .TXT file containing the current action associated with the button's "Blue box" (not sure what this is really called). I just need to know how to incorporate the "on release get URL" command without messing up the animatioon associated with the button.

    start with the button that causes the text to be displayed.  find what it does (which may not be easy because most templates are coded by novice or intermediate level coders) and follow that trail to the text.  (note:  the text may be in a txt or xml file that's loaded.)
    to have a button release open a file, use:
    yourbtn.onRelease=function(){
    getURL("http://www.adobe.com");
