Website template help needed

Hello group,
I am hoping someone is willing to take the time to help a new
Flash user. I have a website template I need to customize and get
rid of all the generic text and pictures but I am not sure the
easiest way. I am sure I am going about it the hardest way possible
without much luck. I have all the .fla files and the site works
fine in it's generic form. I have figured out how to update just an
ordinary picture but I can't figure out how to change the picture
of a library bitmap when it has a background. I can replace the
entire thing but I want to keep the background image the picture is
on. It is a custom shape, color etc. designed just for this site. I
looked for just an instance of the picture but it only appears in a
bitmap combined with the background as far as I can tell. I do have
the .PSD files and I am pretty sure I can do it that way but I am
not sure if Photoshops "publish for web" will give me my flash site
or just an HTML version. I am sure there is something I am
overlooking. Any help for a newbie would be greatly
appreciated.

The photos are taken from a XML file. Open the XML file flashmo_247_photo_list' in dreamweaver and look at the code it'll be easy to fiqure out if you have ever done any sort of HTML coding.
Just incase you have'nt look for Example below taken from the xml file which was provided with the .fla file
"<photo>
  <thumbnail>s_photo_003.jpg</thumbnail> Change the image name for a thumbnail here  i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<filename>photo_003.jpg</filename> Change the image name for a the large image here  i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
  <tooltip>Photo Title 03</tooltip>  
<description><![CDATA[<p class="subtitle">Photo Title 03 goes here</p><p>In velit urna, <u>convallis id</u>, pharetra in, iaculis sit amet, mi. Praesent consectetur imperdiet mauris.

  • Edit website flash template - help needed

    Hi! I am about to buy a website flash template. Before I buy the template I want to make sure, that I am good enough to edit to my needs.
    I downloaded a free flash template and I tried to edit it in my Flash CS5.
    I have had a lot of trouble editing it and I can't even figure out how I change the pictures or the text.
    Can anyone help me and maybe give me a little tutorial on how to change the template.
    Link to the template: http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_247_3d_touch_ring

  • 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.

    You can't use Flash's native format called .FLA to be loaded
    on web server.
    You need to export your work in Flash document to what is
    called ".SWF" format, where you need to upload THAT .SWF file to
    web server.
    To work with Flash's native files, you need to have Flash app
    installed on your machine. If you want to learn more about how to
    work with Flash, you need to keep that topic related to Flash forum
    - where you would get some better help in that forum for that
    matter.
    Good luck!

  • Website Actionscript Help Needed

    So this is how it goes...I've already made my website, I have
    all the pages and everything made BUT...I have a few bugs. The
    first starts at my login page, it is a universal login, so it has 2
    usernames and passwords, I have the code for it but, It does not go
    when I press the submit button. The next is when I get to my actual
    website, all the webpages are all in different scenes. I type in
    the code: on (press) {gotoAndPlay ("1","Corp") ; } but it just goes
    the scene up next. I have no clue what is wrong here. I also have a
    flaw with my loading page, whether than just loads fast or not, the
    loading movie does not loop until the movie is loaded. This page is
    also part of the movie. Can anyone help? The web address is:
    http://www.freewebs.com/cliop/
    The code I am using on the button in my intro is:
    on (press) {
    if (username == "Cliop" or username == "X844495") {
    if (password == "*********" or password == "*********") {
    if (username== "Cliop" & password== "*********" or
    username== "X844495" & password== "*********") {
    gotoAndPlay("1", "Main");

    I've tried a new code for my submit button:
    on (press) {
    if (username === "Cliop" or username === "X844495"); {
    if (password === "moocowman" or password === "shadowman"); {
    if (username === "Cliop" & password === "moocowman" or
    username === "X844495" & password === "shadowman"); {
    gotoAndPlay("1", "Main");
    else on (press){
    if (username !== "Cliop" or username !== "X844495"); {
    if (password !== "moocowman" or password !== "shadowman"); {
    if (username !== "Cliop" & password !== "moocowman" or
    username !== "X844495" & password !== "shadowman"); {
    stop();
    I still have problems, I type in the right username &
    password, yet I don't enter the website. It keeps giving me this:
    **Error** Scene=Intro, layer=otherpages, frame=212:Line 11: 'else'
    encountered without matching 'if'
    else on (press){
    Can anyone help me? I'm also still having problems with the
    navigation.

  • Imagent.app is trying to connect to an external website. Help needed!

    Hi there. I recently downloaded Little Snitch to gauge my current outgoing network traffic. When I booted up my Macbook Pro, the program told me that "imagent" was attempting to connect to a news page that I had left open on my browser. I believe this has to do with facetime, yet i wasnt using it. Could you help me in deciphering the meaning of this? Thank y'all for your help

    As you probably know, you can get FaceTime invitations even if you have quit FaceTime. That feature is provided by "imagent".
    Unless you have configured the FaceTime > Preferences... > FaceTime setting to "OFF", you are still using "imagent" (and a couple of other support processes) even if you have "Quit" Facetime.
    Once you set the preference to "OFF", imagent will go away, but you will not be able to receive any incoming FaceTime invitations until it is turned ON again.

  • 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 !

  • Help with publishing website templates and creating a menu please?

    Hello, I’m new to this website and flash so please bear with me.
    I have purchased a website template from istockphoto (example…  http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=631369 ), which is easy to upload pictures on to, but i have a few questions...
    I have now uploaded my images on to it, but please can you give me some advise on how to publish it on to the Internet?  I have bought my own domain name but I don’t have a clue how to link it to this web template, and I can’t seem to find any specific information.
    Also I want to create a menue with 8 different subject categories, each with a separate image gallery and I don’t know how to link them together and list them in a ‘home page’.
    If you could give me some tips or a link to some information that would be fantastic!
    Thankyou very much in advance! Any help would be very much appreciated as i have been searching for a few days now and i don't understand how it works.

    First, after exporting your FLA to SWF, you have to embed it into an html page, then upload both html and swf to your host.

  • Help need to switch Muse site to BC on a allready hosted plan

    Hi,  i also posted on BC forum...
    I have a client that was in a hurry to have his emails accounts before the entire website.
    So i went on and bought the email marketing plan (cos he will also need to do email campains) an pointed his domain everything is working fine, at this moment he has his accounts the domain is live.
    The site would be just a small 7-10 pages not to complicated.
    Has a graphic designer (who has venture into Business catalyst cos it had all the solutions i needed, well that's what the promotional videos said anyway) I made a site in Muse.
    First i did a temporary page thats says "comming soon", and then i made the entire site, all the design and menu but with blank pages cos the client didnt have all the content yet (and still dont have). I uploaded that site to a sub directory so he could see the evolution.
    He approved the design, yay!
    At the end of the process, he told me he needed to have full control with the editor. (style, images, bulleted list, need to put downloadable document like pdf etc.) i told him that he could only modify what was allready there with the Muse in Browser editing (that he saw when i made the pitch using another site) he was impress with the way it worked.
    so i told him i would have to remake "template".
    I thought of using a BC template, and modify the looks to adapt to my client image, Of course, use a responsive theme so he could make the change at one place only. (cos in Muse you need to make the changes on the 3 layouts).
    Now, i created a new temporary site using one of the new responsive template available.
    How can i import that new site onto his live domain? In other words, how can a switch from a theme made in Muse, to a BC template?
    cant i just delete everything in the root folder, and upload the entire new site via ftp?
    please help me find the solution. i am a bit in a panic here
    hope you could understand my lousy English.
    Sincerely,
    i.d.

    This would need to be transparent for m'y client...

    Thanks for additional details.
    Unfortunately we cannot change site template of a live site in BC , but as a workaround Create a site from BC using the template you wish to use then publish the site from Muse to the site created from BC and transfer the contents stored from live site to trial site. Ater final transition is done , you can delete the already paid site and make live the new trial site which includes new site template.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to make an HTML or CSS Dreamweaver template (not a website template)?

    This might be confusing. I'm not looking for a way to create a website template but a layout/DocType template that has an HTML skeleton in place. The reason I'm asking is that I do a lot of email designs in Dreamweaver and I want to get a template in place but all I've found are these time-consuming website template tutorials that don't serve my needs. 
    What I want is to be able to create something like the DW's default DocType templates that have the initial <html><head></head><body></body></html> etc.... because I can then just start adding in content and change the HTML/CSS attributes (emails require a lot of inline css) as needed.
    So far, I've been using an HTML document that I'd like to make into a template but sometimes I end up saving over it and then have to recreate it...which gets old real fast. This is why having an initial template would eliminate the worry of saving over my makeshift HTML template. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks for the help!

    Snippets is a good idea. But you can also do this with a template. Each time you use FILE | New > Page from Template, as you would to create a new child page, you have the option to enable or disable an option called "Update page when template changes". If that option is DISABLED (i.e., unchecked), then the child page will be created but with NO TEMPLATE MARKUP (i.e., no editable/non-editable regions)! Seems that's exactly what you want, no?

  • 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.
