New to Flash Templates

With the template below.
How do I determine the number of photos that someone can put
into each gallery? Do I just count the photos? Can I add additional
photos to each category such as 30,40 or more photos in each or am
I limited?
http://panchocom.com/Client_Demos/With%20flash/HTML/index.html
Have been going through some tutorials so I can better
understand the workings behind all this.
Can anybody recommend a tutorial that will show me how to
include more photos for the template above?

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.
Here are some on-line tutorials to help you get started with
html and CSS

How to Edit PSD Files In Flash Template

Hi Everyone,
I am new to flash and I am trying to create my first flash site using a template that I have downloaded. I can edit the first page fine, but when I click the "about us" or any other section, the standard template text, Which isn't even in english, appears. I believe that these are psd files, and I have tried to edit them, saved and replaced file on my computer, but still I get the same unchanged text on this site when I preview. Could someone please tell me how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?

Instance names are the reference names that you give to the individual items on the stage. Only movieClip and button symbols can have instance names.
When you import a photoshop file to Flash you will get individual bitmap objects on the stage and in a folder in the movie's Library. You will need to select each item, one at a time, on the stage and convert each one to a symbol. When you make that conversion the name that you give to that new movieClip or button is the name that you will see in the Library.
When you select that new symbol on the stage, look at the Properties window. You will now see a space at the top where you can give that item an instance name. The instance name is what you will use in Actionscript to control that object on the stage.
When you look in the movie's Library, you will see the original bitmap and the symbol that you created that contains that bitmap.
Does that help?

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:

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

Editing a Flash template

I have a Flash website template I bought online. I'm trying to edit the template within Flash, and I'm getting nowhere. I'm an intermediate level photoshop user, but new to Flash. I've spent the entire day trying to find useful information on the web, on You Tube, and here, to no avail.
My problem is this: none of the tutorials I've found seem to apply to my template. I'm unable to change any elements within it, though I seem to have a perfectly good .fla file with plenty of library levels. I just can't get anything I've found in tutorials to work.
I did quite a bit of photoshop editing on the main web site .psd file, and that looks fine. I've replaced the template picture and name with my own. But I've no idea how to get the template to use those files (renaming them according to the file given with the template does no good). Also, I'm not sure that replacing the template versions with my own in photoshop will translate to all the movie effects in Flash. And I can't find any info about this.
Can anyone direct where to go to get help? I've spent hours over several days trying to figure it out, and I'm getting nowhere. When I try to send an email to the site where I bought the template, it tells me that the contact information I'm using is no longer valid.
Adobe shuttled me around their phone system for several hours while we figured out a problem with my accout, after which they told me no one was available to help me because of the holiday schedule.
This is the template.
http://templates4net.com/templates/show-template-1956.html
When I try to submit a ticket to the help system of the tech support for the template (which I had done some time ago, successfully), it no longer recognizes my email or previous registration. I've tried to register again, but though they say they have sent me email about it, I've received nothing. If it would be useful to have info on that, here is the site:
http://support.template-guide.com/index.php
Can anyone help me with any of this?
Thanks -- Catherine

There are so many different ways your template could be designed that short of hiring someone to do it for you, there really isn't much anyone can do except to suggest what to try for individual/specific problems. For the same reason, I doubt you will find tutorials that explain how to edit a template. I doubt anyone at Adobe is going to try to assist you in editing your template or learning how to use Flash.
The first bit of advice, when you are working with files you acquire, always save an original just in case.
If you want to substitute one image for another, naming things similarly won't do anything for you. While I'm assuming something in saying this -> the first thing you need to do is import the new image file into your Flash library (select File -> Import -> to Library).
If the old image is sitting directly on the stage such that you can see it there, then need to see if it is contained in some form of symbol (a graphic or movieclip symbol in the library), because you need to open that symbol and replace it inside that symbol. If it is, then you need to doubleclick to open that symbol for editing--and you may find it is buried inside yet another symbol (or more). Generally, as long as you see a blue line around it when you select it, it is still inside a symbol so you need to keep doubleclicking until you get to the image. When you select it and see a wider gray border around it, then you are face to face with the raw inage and that is when you would want to drag your new image on top of the old one and delete/remove the old one.
If that original image is inside a symbol, then you should also be able to find that symbol in the library instead of doubleclicking your way thru to it, but either approach will get you to the same place.
If you do not see that image when you open the fla, it may be intriduced later on down the timeline. If you can not find that old image anywhere in the file, it could possibly be loaded using actionscript code, though it is usually less likely to be the case for a template.

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.
here is the code i have in the template:
var menu_label:Array = new Array("BIENVENIDO", "DISEÑO GRAFICO",
                                 "DISEÑO WEB", "PORTAFOLIO",
                                 "PUBLICIDAD ON-LINE", "IDENTIDAD CORPORATIVA",
                                 "REGISTRO DE DOMINIOS", "CONTACTO",
                                 "ALOJAMIENTO WEB" );

    var each_substring:Array = menu_label[i].split("|");
    btn.flashmo_button_label.fm_label.text = each_substring[0];
    btn.item_url = each_substring[1];
    btn.flashmo_button_number.fm_number.text = ".0" + ( i + 1 );

var music_channel:SoundChannel = bg_music.play(0, 10000);
var music_volume:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
music_volume.volume = default_volume;
music_channel.soundTransform = music_volume;

        music_volume.volume = 0;
    music_channel.soundTransform = music_volume;
    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.

I have a flash template which plays fine when run using flash

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.

Flash template use

Hi there, I had a client want to use a bought flash template, what is the best way to import the files so it will work with dreamweaver so I can add additional text and change wording. Thanks for any help haven't done a web page for some time now. Or does anyone suggest any good books in taking pre maid templates and changing them to use with clients information, Thanks regards Jon

Problems with flash template

Hello,
I am trying to use a flash template to create a timeline,
However, I am a new user and having a few issues. The Link to the
Fla i am working with is below. For some reason, when you click on
the first button the first time, it references "timeline 1 movie" a
second click on that same button will take you to "timeline 2
movie" on the second button, it switches between "timeline 2 movie"
and "timeline 3 movie" on alternate clicks. Any idea what I could
change so that the first button only takes you to "timeline 1
movie" and button 2 takes you too "timeline 2 movie" and so forth?
Any advice would be great appreciated!
Thanks
Ryan
http://www4.wittenberg.edu/student%20webdev/Ryan/admission/working2.fla

Go to your first button, look in the Actions panel for the
on(release) line of code and change it from gotoAndPlay to
gotoAndStop, i.e.,
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("timeline1");
Now it will stay at your timeline frame instead of
automatically playing to the next one. If this is what you want, do
the same for all the other buttons. (Nice template--I think I'll
adapt the idea to something of my own someday. My Life in Pix or
something.)

FLASH - Template or Tutorial Needed

I am very excited as I have been given the ok to learn and
develop a new flash site. I have seen many sites that have
incorporated the concept of having 4 images underneath a main
frame. When the images are selected, they populate the main frame.
They also have a Left and Right Navigation Bar to scroll to another
set of four images.
I've seen these on the BestBuy site and the sports sites
(NFL.COM is using this functionality to show the upcoming NFL Draft
Order).
I've researched and found a lot of information on carousels,
however I do not think this a carousel although these seem to work
in the simliar fashion. (Again, new to FLASH, I am sure I may be
wrong). I've seen many of the carousel tuturials, but I do not know
enough to scale it down to what I see on these other sites.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a good
template to get started. Thanks in advance for any help you can
provide this excited NEW FLASH devleoper.

If you really want to learn, and not just use someone else's
work, you need to be searching for tutorials on slideshows, not
carousels. Just Google "AS# slideshow tutorial", where # is
whatever version of actionscript you plan to use.
You may not find exactly what you want, but if you learn how
to create one, as opposed to just copying one, you should then be
able to figure out how to modify it to what you really want.

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.
