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.

I see the ^M on the end of the lines ... but i dont understand why im getting the blank lines
in between each entry ... I printed "HHHH" just to help with debugging ... anyone have any ideas why i am getting the extra blank lines?
thanks,

maybe its a FileReader deal.. Im not sure, maybe try using InputStreams. This code works for me (it reads from data.txt), give it a try and see if it works:
import java.io.*;
public class Example {
     public Example() throws IOException {
          BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("data.txt")));
          String s = "";
          while ((s = b.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(s);
          b.close();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               new Example();
          catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}

F4 Help with text table in WD abap

Hi,
i am using country related input help with check table T005 in one of table and i want to display the country text along with country id in my table, f4 for country is coming however if i select country from f4 it showing country id in the input field of table.
i want to have country text also in one of my input fields in the table, i have seen f4 help works if we have explicit search help and using parameter assignment we can have id and text defaulted if we use same context for id and text fields, however in this case country table t005 has check table t005 where texts are stored in text table t005t so web dynpro abap is't picking up the texts??
please suggest how can i get the texts as soon as i select country in the f4??

Hi Kranthi,
You merely have to have an internal table storing list of countries, which you only need to do once, e.g. on load of application (method WDDOINIT of COMPONENTCONTROLLER). In your view, you have to declare a method for event onEnter of the input field, but this method doesn't have to have any code. Your code will be in method WDDOBEFOREACTION, where you read get country name from country key. Once you've got country name, transfer value to a context attribute to which you've already mapped as a source for attribute value of the UI element.

New to After Effects - need help with text manipulation!

Hi all, I'm new to AE and this forum and I'm looking for some advice. I've been asked by the boss at work to create a short video clip, around 10-15 seconds, where text is displayed on the screen (3 words), after the few seconds, I want a 'forging' noise to happen and the final word in the text to be changed to another word and have a metallic effect applied, similar to the effect in this tutorial:
Create Hot Metallic Text in After Effects - After Effects - macProVideo.com Hub
Will this be difficult to do and do you guys think a complete beginner like myself can do it? I've got a lot of experience with the likes of PS, so I'm not too shy with Adobe software.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. So will it be difficult to have one word of text come onto the screen and overlay on top of the existing text, as if it's crashing over it? Any ideas on the steps I would use to do this? Thanks
As you begin your career of using AE, you will change your vocabulary. Overlay will be replaced with spatial references like in front or behind.
Designing text with surface styles like chrome or metal is not difficult. You can even import them from Photoshop if you have some PS chops or friends who can do it quickly.
TEXT ONE can be easily replaced with TEXT TWO in any of dozens of different ways but to drop TWO in front of ONE is easy, you're just setting position keyframes. The finesse of animation, though, lies in the illusion of motion, exaggeration, overshooting and recoil. Your TWO could fall and squish and rebound and bounce or it could raise a dust cloud as it hits or it could make the camera wiggle. These are the things that separate simple key framing from animation and motion graphics.

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/

Template help with Flash Gallery

First of all I would like to say that I give everyone on here so much credit for learning flash and actionscipt. I wish I payed attention in HS class so I could understand this better.
I purchased a template from template moster (http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/28019.html) and I am trying to modify it. I am attempting to add 3 other galleries which look exactly like the gallery in the template with the same functions. I figured out how to change the pictures which both the large and thumbnails are being loaded from a portfolio folder outside of the main fla file. I wish the files were in the fla because I am sure it would be a little easier. Can anyone help me with duplicating the gallery page? I am using CS3 and Actionscript 2. If you need a screen shot just ask. Thank you for the help

To add further information to the post above...
When I use the selection tool to drill down into the buttons
it goes from "Scene1" to a "menu" symbol which contains the five
stacked buttons in the stage (again they all display as "About Us"
instead of how they look in a browser). I can then drill down into
each individual button which always goes to the same "btn" symbol
(resulting in a workspace that is viewing Scene1->menu->btn).
When I right-click on any of the five buttons and select "Actions"
in the menu it brings up the Actions - movie clip dialog and there
are no actions specified.
However, when I right click on the parent "menu" symbol and
look at actions they are the following:
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 1;
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
_parent["bta"+num].gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
_parent["bta"+num].gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["bt"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_parent["bta"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
_root.play();
Lastly, I can drill down one further step to
Scene1->menu->btn->btn_0. When I do this the "About Us"
text disappears and just the button background is showing. When I
right click in the workspace there is no "Actions" selection. When
I right click on the frame in the timeline there is an "Actions"
selection but there are no actions specified.
thanks!!

New to Muse - Help with Text sitting above my master page content header

Hi there, I am needing to know how to make the text box that I have created on my "Home" page scroll underneath the main content in the header section of my master page please.

Hiya Aish, thanks for your response. I have copied the header from master page and pasted it on my home page (assuming this is a layer??) They are the same width i.e. touch the edge of the visible page/background and pinned it. However, it's not filling the entire browser window. It's like it's only the page width and pinning it to the left side of the browser. My text however is going behind this now so thank you. Any chance you could help extend the graphics so they fill the browser width as per the master page please??

Portfolio site, need help with contact form

Hi,
Im a graphic designer turned web designer student. I dont know A LOT of flash, but im learning more as time goes by in and out of school. I currently redid my portfolio website, before it was more of a design taken into dreamweaver and uploaded. Now everything is not completely done, but im doing the site in flash.
www.Nikdesigns.com, if anyones interested...
but im trying to set up a really basic contact page. I have a name/email and message input text boxes and a submit button so far. Is there anyway someone can explain to me exactly what code I need, and what I need to do to be able to set this up correctly? Or link me a good tutorial?
I understand flash needs a php to send the info out and comunicate with, but other then that im lost. What actionscript? and what keyframe?
flash is so frustrating =/ someone please help, lol.

If your contact page is just 1 of the many pages in your site, I'll recommend you write it in HTML/PHP/JSP.
There are many cases when Flash/AS is the efficient tool to get jobs done. But just my humble opinion, I think in this case you'll be more efficient to construct the contacts page with mark-up languages.
Of course, it is possible to do it in Flash/AS and not difficult. I just have 1 question before I go off and try:
When an user submits the form, how do you wish to receive it? As an email in your inbox? Store it in a database? Or elsewhere?
Cheers,

Customizing a purchased flash site template.

Hello all. This is my first post here. I recently purchased a
template for our start-up video company and feel like I am in over
my head. I have taught myself some Flash - some Lynda.com tutes and
various books. I have deconstructed most of the site to find how to
change it (and contacted templatehelp.com for some specifics) but
in doing so realize that the swf file has gotten too big - 2.6 meg.
Even the pre-customized swf is 1.9. I wish that I had not gone in
this direction now (full flash) but my partner liked this template
and now we are stuck with it until I have time to figure out
another option.
My questions then are:
What is the best way to optimize the size of the full site?
Can I break up the main swf file so that it preloads pieces
instead of the whole thing?
I realize that these are probably big vague questions. If
there are any good tutuorials you could point me to that would
allow me to fix what I've got for now (rather that scrapping and
completely redesigning) that would be immensely helpful and much
appreciated.
Here are the links to the site in testing :
Customized (work in progress):
http://www.digitalfishvideoproductions.com/site_flash/index.html
Original template:
http://www.digitalfishvideoproductions.com/TestSite/site_flash/index.html
Thanks for any help you can give.

p.s. I also can't seem to get the video component to work for
the demos even thought the skin file are where they are supposed to
be. I've looked for help on this and found others who have had the
same prob without solution. Any ideas on this as well? Thanks
again!

Hi Sketchta!
Sorry I meant no disrespect. : ) I have lots and lots of
respect for flash - especially after trying to customize the
elastic CSS version that also came with! ARgg! The pop-ups
(probably misusing the term) are the windows that come up when you
click on the "read more" buttons on various pages. (and quite the
challenge finding the MC that allowed the customizing of those!).
When you try to move these windows off to the side, they slide
"under" the outside of the site. I thought there must be a simple
AS bit that would either allow them to bump up against the side of
the site (stage perimiter) or (much better) move off of the site
without having to change the dimensions of the original stage in
the flash file (which would necessitate a redesign of other
elements that need to be invisible until called). Does this make
sense?
I'm also frustrated that the flash component is not showing
up for my videos. At first the component was showing up but the
video was not. I put in the relative path in the parameters section
and now the vid shows without the component. I'm going to
eventually make my own component (that was a great eseminar!) but
wanted to use this in the meantime. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
The component is definitely uploaded to the same folder as the main
swf file. Should it be in the file where the videos are stored?
Help said that the path to component is created automatically and I
can't seem to manually fiddle with that anyway. Sorry if this
explaination is less than clear. I could send you a pic of my set
up if it helps.
Here's the link to the site again:

Thanks in advance for help!

Flash site cannot accessible with mozilla firefox browser

Hi. I want to ask something from you...
I've maked a site, the site is in test stadium, is working in browsers IE8, Opera 10...
...but when i want to open in Mozilla Firefox, only the first index.html is visible (here is the navigation menu). the menu is working, but the site still stood. all links is accessing external swf files. i have a menu item, what is calling an html file swf...this is working too, but the html swf movie cannot cannot opening the accessible swf files from here. but this problem appears only in Firefox Browser. The page is working perfectly in IE or Opera...but for mie this is a mistake...i'm tested in a lot of pc's, with different versions of firefox, ie, and opera browsers but with the exception of firefox, working fine.
this is an incompatibility problem between flash & firefox?
or a problem with the external preloading files? (the first index page is a swf too, but called by an html file...)
i really don't know what's the problem, but this is so interresant, i think not only for me...
i'm waiting your help. thank you and best regards

Hello ZigZag,
I did have disable the blocking content. Still it doesn't work. This is a problem that I face right now.
I have submitted this problem to Mozilla Firefox team.
I did not have any issues with Windows 8.1 with the same browser version Firefox 35.
It having issues on Windows 10 build 9926.
So it is either Windows 10 is having issues or Firefox or Adobe itself.
Either one of it.
I submitted the issues to both Firefox and Adobe for this matter. Right until now I have no reply from them.
For your info, this laptop cannot download any Windows Build updates...
I have to download the new build ISO manually. I wonder why I cannot get the new release of prebuild updates from Microsoft. Makes me wonder all the time. Why I cannot do any updates!
Formatted the hard disk and do a clean install of Windows 10 beta build 9926.

New bee looking for applescript help with text edit app

I have a huge text files (20+) , I want to find a list of words like weather, farmers, ploughing. I want to find these words one at a time, as my text file is 250+ Mb in size.
I want applescript to count the how many times each word appears in the text.
Paste that occurrence of word into an spreadsheet file in a row named after text file , and in a column named weather, farmers, ploughing.
Please help.
Thanks much.
CF
PS so far I can open the text files with applescript, that is about the extent of my ability in programing.
Message was edited by: coldfusions onco

For a file of that size, you would need to use some shell utilities to get decent performance. To count words, the following script breaks up the text into words, then counts the number of times the specified word is found (a dictionary file is used as an example, so the match is equivalent to 'contains'):
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
set theFile to "/usr/share/dict/web2" -- a 2.5MB list of words
set someWords to {¬
{theWord:"weather", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"farmers", theCount:0}, ¬
{theWord:"ploughing", theCount:0}}
repeat with anItem in someWords
set aWord to quoted form of theWord of anItem
try -- break up into individual words, then search and count
set theCount of anItem to (do shell script "tr -cs '[:alpha:]' " & quoted form of linefeed & " < " & theFile & " | grep -ic " & aWord) as integer

Is this related to your Automator post?

Urgent - help with Text direction in InDesign CS4

Hello,
I use InDesign CS4 on Windows 7. It's a standard version (without options for right-to-left languages).
Whenever I make a new text frame, it seems to have a right-to-left "logic" of the text. The text types left to right, but the period in the end would go all the way right.
It also mixes up tabs. It looks like this:
Instead of:
Usually I get around it by pasting another correctly formatted text-frame or text, and it works.
Now I'm trying to create a new document with master frame (in order to be able to easily change the layout successively of a many-paged document), where I need to insert existing (formatted) text. But this text take this "right to left logic", whether I past the text, or even a whole text frame.
I could find nothing in the character/paragraph options to get rid of this.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me.
with respect,
Jerusalem Nun.

This behaviour is normal. Changing the default property of any style, when no document is open, changes the style for every new document, but not for existing document.
Take a look what is your basic style where all other styles are build up on it, in your case, go to the paragraph style and look what is the basic style which was used.
If the default style was used (it is the one in brackets), you have always a problem. You should not use it in any case.
Because you don't have a ME version of InDesign you can't change direction directly, but you can create a new document with the default settings and the same paragraph (and character, table and cell styles) in a new document without RTL styles. Save this document, no content is required.
Go to the 'infected' document, open the paragraph style panel and in the panel menu take "Load all text styles", select the new document and overwrite with the incoming styles.
If necessary you might repeat it with the Table, Cell, Character and Object Styles, as all of them have some kind of direction settings.
I don't know how good your styles were created, you have to adjust your document. And I would strongly recommend—I repeat—I strongly recommend to work always with styles.

New to Flash AS3, Need help with some weird issues, have .fla link attached...

Basically, the buttons are not visible when siteplan_mc is replayeed after floorplan closes, but they still work. Most things are only working on double click for soe reason, tho I have them to function on click. and the back button only woorks on unit 1 floorplan, tho the code it the same for all floorplans. I have a feeling it has something to do with levels... but I really have no idea... hopefully someone can help!
thanks in advance,

http://www.30eastroosevelt.com/RRHA_SITE.fla

There are at least two things you're doing wrong. You can't go to a frame where something exists for the first time, and immediately do something to it. Like in your playunit functios for example:
gotoAndStop("unit1")
unit1_mc.alpha = 1
unit1_mc hasn't yet drawn itself on stage to have its alpha set, and so there's an error. That is something that was improved in Flash 10, so if you had set the Flash to publish for Flash 10 and not Flash 9, then the floor plans and the back buttons appears ok. It would sometimes work with double clicks because by the second time you clicked, the movieclip now existed. You might be able to do what you want by having all of the room units on frame 1 of the siteplan_mc, and then set their visible to true or false as you need them, instead of doing the gotoAndStop().
The other problem is that you're trying to set listeners on the Back buttons that don't yet exist. Wait until you're on the frame where the buttons exists, and then set its listener for the mouse click.
Other things you're doing could be improved too, but really you might want to get together with someone who has done more AS3, to help you become more familiar with how it works.
