> am i allowed to use flash movie in a template?
Yes, but you need to make the link to the Flash file ROOT
RELATIVE when you
insert it. Document relative links will not work as you have
described.

Using Flash/AS as Template possible?

Hello Everyone!
I'm very new to flash (just started last week) so please bare with me if this quesion sounds ridiculusly stupid
I wonder if it's possible to use Flash/AS files as "templates" - in other words, we have the website http://shop.variuscard.com and the header is subject to change depending on the product-category you click in the shop. We will have approx 10 categories, and each will have a different product displayed in the flash movie, but the "background actions" should stay the same.
Now, in case I need to change something (let's say the logo changes from blue to red.. and the particle-size and shape) I don't want to change all 10 or more files again. So is there a way to use the "basic" flash file as template, which means - position of the Logo & shadow, and the particle code, and just change the variable pictures and stuff inside the categories? I took that red card-printer as sample of the card-printer category for example.
Thanks in advance!

There are a few ways you can manage having a template file. Probably the more modern approach is to have data file that defines certain characterstics of the file's content, such as the logo image it uses, the title it displays, where things get placed, etc. Then you have your Flash file dynamically load/adjust the content per what the data file dictates. So you data file could specify the name of the logo image file and where it gets planted and the file could use that info to load that file and place it where it goes.
Another thing you can make use of is the FlashVars parameter that the embedding code allows for. So if you had the same banner in the same web site on different pages or sections of a page, you could use the FlashVars to indicate some parameter each file should use to decide what content it needs to make use of.
Combining these approaches can alow you to only have one Flash file, and one data file that you change as needed.

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.

Learning to use flash on a pre-built template.

I am new to flash, and web design at that matter. I am
learning to use flash using a pre-built template. Does anyone know
how to get the buttons on the template to link to files?
Thanks!

Pallett,
> I am new to flash, and web design at that matter. I am
> learning to use flash using a pre-built template.
Ouch! That may be problematic. Where di you get the
pre-built
template?
> Does anyone know how to get the buttons on the
> template to link to files? Thanks!
The global getURL() function links to files (see details in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference) -- but honestly, since
the specifics of
your template are completely unknown to us, you may find a
hard time getting
answers until you provide more information.
In general -- this is my opinion here, but I'll try to back
it up -- 3rd
party templates are not a good way to learn Flash. The reason
for this is
because template repositories, such as TemplateMonster.com,
farm out their
template designs. There are no centralized standards of
quality in such
templates: 10 to 1, you will not see consistent, clean FLAs
-- on the
inside, I mean. Designers from all over the world throw
together as many
templates as they possibly can (to make as much money as they
possibly can,
of course), with no real quality assurance, because none of
them work under
the same roof.
I've seen countless posts to this forum along the lines of,
"Hey, I just
bought this template, but I can't make sense of it!" And
that's because the
FLA's layers won't be named, layer folders won't be used,
Library assets
won't be named (or will be named poorly), and very little (if
anything) will
be explained in regard to *how* the designer put together
whatever's there.
That said, I certainly don't mean to frighten you into
thinking
templates are a bad thing. Good and bad, in this context, are
somewhat
subjective. But I encourage you to look elsewhere for
*learning* Flash.
There are plenty of online tutorials and resources, and in
fact, the
included documentation in Flash (F1 key) is a great place to
get your
bearings.

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?

Need help using flash buttons

Can anyone help me with flash buttons? I am trying to build
my first website, and my five flash buttons (inside a 5 col. table)
for page navigation work fine in testing all 5 web pages with
mozilla firefox, and they look the same on the index page when
testing with IE-7. However when I begin navigating to other pages
in IE-7, the flash buttons disappear, and the 5 cols in the table
where each flash button was placed now are not equal sizes anymore
like they are on the index page. In my files area on the right, I
notice 3 out of the five buttons I created have about 15 to 20
"generations" shown there, with numbers 1 through 15 or even more
to qualify them tacked on to the end of the names. Where do these
come from, and why are 2 out of the five only have 1 "generation"
each? I never expected this, and I think it has something to do
with the problem, but maybe not. Please help me if you can!

If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
not be spidered
3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
will those users
do?
4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
move or rename
a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...
Your problem is caused by navigating away from the previewed
page. In
general, this is not a good thing to do, since root relative
links will not
work as expected when you do that (locally).

Video Player Component using Flash Player 6

I'm streaming video using Flash Player 6. The problem I am
having is that the video will only play at a super small size,
something like 180 x 60 (that's a guess). Is there a way to play
the video at the 320 width that I redered it as?
I'm using Flash Player 6 because some code that came with my
purchased Flash Template does not work unless it's published to
Flash Plaey 6.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Melissa,
I might not be understanding the question right, but if you
are using Flash
Player 6, and the Flash Player 6 video player component, you
can resize the
video by resizing the component on the stage (just drag and
make it larger).
Let me know if that works for you.

Video Pixelation occurs while recording the video using flash player

Hello,
I am recording the video using flash player 9 ( using the
flash media server 2.0 on the back end). Everything used to work
fine in the past. The quality of the flv video was good. Now
suddently, I have started seeing the pixelation in the recorded
video (very poor video quality). Nothing has been changed in the
code. However on the server side, I am not very sure if there is
any windows update has taken place and have caused the problem with
the codec on server.
However my understanding is that when we record the video
then flash player use its own codec not the flash media server.
Can any one help me on how I can get rid of pixelation
issues?
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
Pradeep

Use Flash in .lbi files

When I try to drag an Flash object from the Assets Window into a Library Item (.lbi file), I get an error that says I can't use Flash in a Dreamweaver Library Item. But when I cut and paste the HTML code for the Flash animation into the Library Item in Code View, I don't get the error, and everything seems to work fine. What's the deal? I really need to be able to use Flash in Library Items. Thanks for your help...

Sorry. I don't use Library Items. Never have, never will.

If I need to paste a single code fragment into my web pages, I often use my Snippets folder for this. Frequently used code fragments go into the snippets folder for quick insertion into web pages (in code view, of course).
For repeating site elements that could change from time to time, I use Server-Side Includes (SSI). Edit one file, upload to server. Done.

Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
a flash site like
http://www.hockaday.org from an
easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
would be nice.
What I like best about
http://www.hockaday.org is the
great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
ways.
Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
nice things with pictures and motion?
I need to create a site like
http://www.hockaday.org
immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
my best bet?

you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
yet you need to build an entire site
immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
that is similar but if this forum is any
proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
decipher most templates in order to edit them
- search this forum, there are several posts per week from
non-flash users who purchased templates
and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
an educated flash user to
reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
documents are blank canvases that can be setup
a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
developers are more organized than
others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
together for a quick profit.
You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
it works or hire somebody to edit the
template for you.
hope this helps.

Modify Flash Video Bandwidth Template

Good Day.
I'm hoping someone might be able to give me an idea as to
what I'm doing wrong...
Using Flash MX Pro 2004 with the built-in template, Video
> Bandwidth Select. I'm tring to pass a URL varible of a FLV
movie name to the actionscript in the 3rd screen (select screen). I
have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to dynamically pass a varible
(in this case a movie name) to SWF. I have tried using flashvars
and URL variables (but not text files as it adds more complexity).
I just can't get it to work. When I manage to get something to show
up, like in a simple text box, it always says 'undefined'.
Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong... or can you not do
this with this template?
Thank you, so kindly.
Joseph Krogman.

What I need is to be able to take flash 9, AS3 swfs, import
them into a Director 11 project, and interact with the flash
funcitons, call them, set properties, etc. Despite the
documentation on the Adobe Director page saying this is possible, I
have not been able to get it to work, and other posters on this
board have stated that it is currently not possible. Any clarity or
examples would help. I notice Director 11 has no entries concerning
Director/flash programming yet on the Adobe Developer page, just
tutorials for MX2004.

Flash CS4 Quiz Template: Help Needed

My organization uses the Flash CS4 quiz template that is included within the eLearning suite. Everything works great. The quiz loads on the LMS, it gives learners' their scores, etc. The issue we're having is after the score is recorded within the LMS.
If a user fails the quiz, the LMS marks the quiz as 'Completed/Failed'. The LMS (Inquisic EX), then, moves the failed quiz into the 'Completed Courses' tab. I understand why it does this because the 'Completed' mark given refers to the learner having gone through all of the pages within the quiz; however, the learner failed the quiz. If the learner goes back into the quiz and passes it the second time around, the LMS continues to state 'Completed/Failed'.
Does anyone know why this would happen? Are there SCORM settings we ought to change within the source code provided by Adobe?
I really appreciate your help!!

I think this is what I'm having trouble with, did you figure
it out? I need help making checkbox text have multiple
lines.

Using Flash in Dreamweaver

I've created flash slideshows using Flash Slideshow Maker. I
then created a simple flash file that has 3 buttons. The action on
these buttons is On (release) { loadMovie ("drawings.swf",
ss_frame);} Where drawing.swf is the name of one of the slideshows
and ss_frame is an empty movie clip. The swf I created works fine
until I load it into dreamweaver. The rollover works on the buttons
so I know it's not totally not working. But when I click on the
button to load the slideshow - nothing it just sits there.
Any ideas???
Thanks

You cannot make an all-Flash site editable in Contribute.
This would be
only one of the HUNDREDS of reasons why all-Flash sites are a
bad idea.

Firefox 16 freezes for 1 minute when accessing certain webpages, I think they're all using Flash

I installed Firefox 16.0.1 yesterday. I was running 15 earlier in the day and it was fine. FF 16 however has suddenly started hanging for about a minute when I try to access certain websites. It unfreezes fine after that minute, no crashes or anything, but it's very irritating. From what I can tell it only seems to do it on pages that use Flash. I've got the latest version installed, and it's made no difference. I tried downgrading to FF 15 and it's still the same. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
Mark

Did you try to disable protected mode in the Flash player?
You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
