Flash templates for iweb

are there any templates where we can insert flash into an existing iweb site?

I just finished dealing with this battle. First the code that was provided to you from Carson (first reply) is crucial to load your flash movie into your website. Follow his instructions and you will easily be able to add flash movies.
Now for creating the content. There is a couple of options. I used iWorks '08 Keynote to create a flash introduction. Basically you can create a slide show with animations and then convert it to Quicktime. You can either use the Quicktime file as a movie insert or convert the Quicktime to a flash file. Please note that the export to flash feature within Keynote will remove alot of your slide transitions and animations. Thus, if you want flash you should export it to Quicktime to keep all transitions and animations. Then you can use Adobe Flash C3 to convert it to flash or any other flash converter software (such as the products sold from the link posted above).
If you want to get a little flashier there is a software called The Ad Creator (http://www.flashadcreator.com/)
This software has about a 100 templates for flash introductions. It is meant for companies but you can easily adapt it to your personal website by adding photos and changing captions. I just bought it but have not done anything yet on my website.
You can view a sample introduction made from Keynote and then converted to flash on my website.

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:

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).

But Keynote is great...and yes Kirk is right....wait for the new version.
Also here is another app that converts video to swf:

New Templates for iWeb?

Hello~
Does anyone know if there are additional templates to use for iWeb? If so, where can I find them and add them to my current library of templates that came with iWeb?
Thank you.

There are several 3rd party templates. Just do a Google search for "iWeb templates" and you'll get numerous hits for the sites.

Dynamic templates for iWeb??

Is there somewhere I can go to get (buy, have designed) a 'dynamic' template designed for iWeb, that allows me to create as many pages as I want ... and THEN functions so that when I change something, a bit of text, in the original template ... ALL the pages built from that template change automatically all at once?
I do this all the time in Dreamweaver, and would like to be able to do the same in iWeb ... which I'm finding very attractive as a designer app.
Ben

Ben,
I know what you are asking for and I don't think it is available. The best person I can get you in contact with is Suzanne Boben over at 11 Mystics...

She's one of the early pioneers in customizing iWeb templates and she might be able to offer more insight into your situation. Good luck!

Use flash template for your Facebook Fan Page

Because Facebook has changed many of their apps and pages, we must learn new methods of how to install a Facebook fanpage.

I am interested in finding out if the text document that the Flash template uses can be modified. These Flash templates always use a conventional text file that you can alter using Wordpad or similar. There are references to variables such as &Name1=YourCompanyName. You are simply supposed to go in and change the value of the company name and save the text file. When you open the associated HTML in a browser the changes are evident. I am not sure how this actually works? The key is that normal folks with no Flash experience are supposed to be able to make a website from a template without using Flash software. I made a change to the above code as follows:
&Name1=<font face="trajan pro" color="black" size="60">Body Das</font>
I have experimentsed with this and it accepts the font color and the font size but I never am able to get the actual font to work. It shows up blank when I preview the HTML in a browser. Again, not sure if there is a different font or styles tag that I could be using with the text document?

Anyone know how to make a personal template for iWeb 2.0?

Seems things changed in the content folder and descriptions for the previous version are unusable.
I don't understand why there isn't a chapter in the manual for this! Isn't it un-Applish to not let the mac users roam free with their creativeness… or is it to complicated?
Well, I just know how I would like the webpage to look and I would prefer to do it in iWeb. This is particularly since such a lot of people go on to use Explorer instead of rashing it and iWeb so far has been safe, that is wysiwyg, also for Explorer.

One of the things I do when creating a new website is build what I call a "master" page. This is the basic page I am going to use throughout the site.
To do this you have to be saving your individual sites to separate folders.
Make a copy of your domain.sites2 file and put it in a folder named "website master page".
Click this file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the pages and rename the site Master Page.
Build your master page and save.
When you want to start a new site using this page all you have to do is copy the file and paste it into a folder "New Website", launch it in iWeb and duplicate it as many times as you want.
Using this method you cannot, obviously, use gallery, photo, blog etc.
Mostly, I don't use them anyway for anything but personal sites.

Templates for iWeb 08

So from what I can tell, iWeb 08 web templates are pretty hard to come by?
Where can I get good ones?

You must not be reading the same stuff I am because the following is taken from that site

Which holder can I find all the template for iWeb?

I would like to customize the existing iWeb template, but I cannot find where iMac store all those templates. I'd appreciate it very much if someone can tell me which holder iWeb hides its template.
Thank you.

From within iWeb, just click on Add New Page at the bottom and all page templates are displayed. Choose the one you want and you can then add or take away or do anything you want with it.
If you want your own design entirely, I would suggest that you start with a blank canvas with a white template. Then you can do whatever you want.

Looking for an 'opt-in form' template for iWeb??

Building a site that will see serious traffic on Sunday. Need to embed an 'opt-in' form. Have no idea how to do this in iWeb.
It would be nice if I could combine an 'opt-in' form with an 'autorespond' ...
Is this something that would be possible on an iWeb site, and could I do it fairly easily\quickly?

Problem with Great Estate Template in iWeb

Having problems with the Great Estate template for iWeb: On the blog, the picture shows up fine, in the larger, overview version it is all blurred. The software company cannot help me, say it is a program flaw in iWeb? Has anyone else encountered this problem and how did you fix it? Thanks

I have been corresponding with the company in Lithuania for a few days and we have tried everything we could think of to solve the glitch. I am very much aware of the fact that it is a custom theme, in fact I have further customised it.
The website in question is a private one. In my home country, we are legally required to post our address on the page. I would not want to braodcast that across the Apple community, if I can help it, so that is not an option. Sorry.
I would really appreciate if someone who uses GraphicNodes templates could help me out. Thank you

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.

Needed: flash for dummies - a template for HTML snippet

I am a dummy when in comes to code. I understand that iWeb '08 uses "HML Snippets" and by using them, you can add flash movies (.flv or .swf) to your iWeb '08 created site.
What I (and apparently many other dummies) need is a step by step set of instructions on how to modifiy an HTML template and where to put the flash files to get them to work.
<http://web.mac.com/wyodor/Embed_Media/Embed.html> provides useful HTML templates, but they leave many unanswered questions that dummies, like me, have no clue about. Here is the template for .flv files with my questions in CAPITALS.
Object for Flash movies with player.
The outer object is for Safari.
The inner object is for Firefox/Camino.
This sample uses a Flash player. There are several Flash players around you can use.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="260"CHANGE WIDTH AND HEIGHT TO DIMENSIONS OF MY FLASH MOVIE-YES? codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab #version=8,0,0,0">

</object>
</object>
IF YOU INCLUDE THE FLASH MOVIE IN THE iWEB FILES FOR THAT PAGE, IS THERE A WAY TO INDICATE THAT THE PATH TO THEM IS SHORTER THAN THE WHOLE HTTP//...?
I have read all the postings and gone to all the sites and attempted doing what they seem to say and I am still having no luck. I hope someone will take the time to explain to dummies like me how to do this. I used iWeb because I thought it would be simple.

Remember, I am a dummy.
The path I gave to files is an invention, not the actual path I am using, but that is not the problem (I suspect). I have eliminated the parameters ending in false. Will that mean that the controller shows up? That the movies does not loop?
Should the question mark not be there or is it required? I have no idea what it does.
My understanding (or misunderstanding) was that this code has two parts to address playback on various browsers. Is that true or is it just redundant?
Here is what I have now. If you could just make necessary changes and post, that would probably be the biggest help. The "piecemeal" approach leaves me with more questions. Thanks for all the help.

I just statred Flash CC for the first time and it seems that the text within the pop-up window (dialog box) is mis-aligned and not allowing me access to the command buttons, nor all the text. (ie: the NEW Template Box, can't see but 2/3 of the content)

Looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5

Hi, I'm looking for a simple flip book template for Flash CS5 for a 20 page brochure/ booklet. Or a tutorial. Does anyone know of one?
Thanks!

Hi Mark,
No need to restrict your choice to the preset Pages Templates. Do a web search and choose a Word template. Pages will open Word documents and templates. Or design your own:
This is a Table I inserted into a blank Pages Word Processing document. Format the date column in Inspector > Table > Format > Cell Format. Select the first Date cell,then drag the fill handle down to increment the dates.
Regards,
Ian.
