I am using a flash template with an xml file. I am trying to replace an image with a .swf file. Is this possible? And what tags do i use to replace the line below with a flash .swf in place of it? <image url="images/pic3.jpg"> I just want it to be a flash movie on top of a flash movie instead of a pic.
If you make multiple flash files from the same template and then edit that template, will all those files have those same changes? If not, is there a way to make the same change on multiple files at once? Basically the same idea as linking HTML files to a single CSS file...
Jesus Christ - I thought I was really good in flash.Got this template and I can't see S***. WTH - is it supposed to be this difficult to manipulate a template or am I stupid??? Go into project explorer and can't see much AS so how the hwll are they getting the images and text into the flash swf. By the html??? I don't think so.
I have a flash template that I am working on, and have customized it via the XML files. It's an AS3 template. I also have a Flash poll script that I am attempting to integrate into the template. This is where it gets a bit tricky...I have decided to use a modal window (which supports swf files) to open the poll that I am using. If it were as simple as to load the swf file, I would be fine, but the poll also includes XML and PHP files, which I don't know what to do with.
The files included are: preview.swf, preview.fla, the xml file, config.php, edit.php, index.php and then "caurina" and documentation files. What I'm thinking I need to do is include the preview.swf file into my modal window, but I'm not sure what to do with the rest of these files, do they go into a new folder in the main template folder or what?
I am trying to delete some files from a flash template I purchased, when I open the .fla file in flash and go into the library, I would like to delete the contact box and the mp3 player, when I locate those files in the library and delete the files, the website no longer opens up (it will not work when I delete those files from the library)?
Anyone can show me how to insert or import a swf file into fla template file.I have a temple FLA file open and after import a SWF file , run test and the swf is not working.
I have a flash template and some of the code is do in a XML file. Where can I find the correct color numbers. I tryed using the color numbers in flash and it didn't. This is the first I am using this method.
I was reading about Flex- JavaScript communication via ExternalInterface.But I had a doubt, it said that the javascript code should be written in the HTML file of the application ? Now which is this HTML file ? Is it the index.template.html file per project or the HTML file created per MXML application ?
I used the CS5 Flash templates>sample files>preloader for external file, to create my preloader.The problem is that when the preloader is done and my SWF is loaded, my SWF has already started playing.It is an animation that builds for 200 frames then buttons appear.By the time the SWF appears it has already gotten to the button frame.Depending on connection speed I have caught the animation building.
Here is the preloader action: var contentLoader:Loader; loadContent("stage002.swf"); function loadContent(url:String):void { contentLoader = new Loader();
I have a Template file I am editing that plays music in the background. I want to shut it off when a Video is loaded so I added a stopAllSounds to the button. Works fine; however, I cannot figure out how to turn it back on again, as the template designer placed the sound file into a button rather than creating a sound Object. Was hoping someone could help me figure out how to restore sounds (I have tried adding Frame Labels to his sound movie/button but it returns me to the opening on the animation.
I have posted the file here if anyone would like to help. If no time for that, is there a simple way to output what is happening when I hit the toggle button, so I can copy that and try it?
I have a website template in which I am trying to change the header text words and menu text words to customize the template. How do I do this in Flash CS4?
I'm thinking of creating a visual template of a movieClips in a .fla file for the designer to adjust and tweak. Then in flex builder 3 (actionscript project) I load in that .swf file and use the references to the movieClips to adjust location, size and color of objects... Hope that made sense...
Along those lines... is it possible to grab the graphic information of an entire movieClip? Let's say there's a movieClip with a red 4 pixel line on the top then 2 pixels further down there's a grey rectangle that's 400 pixels high. These were drawn with vectors in the flash environment.
I have this template that i am modifying [URL] Photo gallery i am trying to use[URL] when you click on any of the images the site reframes and then you see a xml text box i want to replace that xml text box with an xml photogallery but i am not really familiar with the language and its been a long time since i did any web work.
I have two questions (I'm a photographer and flash novice):
1) I just bought this flash template (URL...) and I need to edit it. Rewriting the text is easy, I just rewrite it in XML files, but I cant figure out how to change the font, font color and font size. Could somebody tell me how to do it?
2) I also bought this template (URL...) and I cant figure out how to edit name in the header and text in the top menu. I really cant find it anywhere (I dont see it in Adobe Flash and I dont see any jpeg or PSD file in the flash directory...)
I just purchased a flash template and can not seem to find where I place the logo. The template now has a logo in text, but I want to replace it with an image.
I am new to flash and i have .fla file of flash.i want to edit this file to use it.I want to change the buttons name and their hyperlinks in this fileI want to attach the .fla file with post but i don't know how to do this.
I am building an application template in FlashDevelop/Flash, to be used as the template for all our future projects. In a swc-free world, the template has a bunch of library symbols and a whole package of classes in the /lib/ folder that run the whole thing.
What I would like to do, is package all that up into a single swc, so the team can checkout the latest build of the swc from svn at the start of a project, put it in the /lib/ folder and forget about it.
However, all attempts to do this have failed so far. Is it even possible to put everything into one swc?
I tried to search but was unable to find. Just to see if I was publishing incorrectly I took a stock flash 8 template and uploaded it to my server putting all files and directories exactly as they were on the local version. Same result as my published version. Works perfect on my pc when I click the index.html file. All loads smoothly and template works perfectly.But when I load the same template onto the server via filezilla (all loads fine and the file sizes appear to all be correct). All I get is blank page on screen and says done in bottom of page. (Mozilla)SO, on IE I get page error and nothing loads. On mozilla I get nothing at all just blank page and at the bottom it says done?
So I guess what I am asking is: Is there something that I am missing when uploading a flash8 template straight out of the box. No edits no changes just upload to see how it looks from the server?NOTE: On same server I loaded a FULL FLASH template that I even made some edits on and loaded it partially finished and it worked fine. The other template in question is a flash banner template I tried from the free downloads section of template monster (Its the one with the green apple split into sections and stacked off center) couldnt find a name for it or template number
Immediately after finding out I was laid off I began to try and increase my online presence by building a webpage.I found a flash web template that I was able to highly customize however I can't figure out how to add additional hyperlinks, images, etc. This crosses the line between dreamweaver and flash. The flash file is a complied file that flash creates and I can only edit it if I have all the original files (kinda, there are other ways around that). Anyways, I have all the files, I think however I still can't seem to figure it out.
I would like to add additional images, hyperlinks, and maybe even move some stuff around however it seems like everything is either locked down of difficult to modify. I have looked around online for some good tutorials however I can't seem to find any that match what I'm trying to do. Would it be best to try and build the hyperlinks in flash or should I do that in dreamweaver? Dreamweaver I'm guessing, however since I'm editing the site via .xml the insert hyperlink capabilities within dreamweaver are not enabled unless I'm directly editing the index.html. By the way, I'm using CS4 Flash and Dreamweaver. [URL].
I have never messed around with flash before so I downloaded a template. I open it with Flash CS4 and most everything is simple to edit. The problem is I dont seem to find anything about editing the menu/navigation bar.
I have Flash MX and I'm editing a Flash template that I downloaded. When I roll over what would be the button section in this template it is set up to be a link, but I don't know how to edit it and add the links I want. how I can get links added into this thing? I can send it to you if you want to see what I'm talking about first hand.
So I have basic flash knowledge but not to much. I'm editing the majority of the template perfectly. When I want to test out how the changes are I export the it into a flash movie, than click on the index.html (which is linked to the flash movie) everything works fine.
Here is where the problem comes in, on one of the pages the template had a bunch of link that I do not want so I delete the links layer. When I do that and export the movie agian, everything gets screwed up it like flips out when I open the file and runs everything double speed than shuts down.
i need to change the animated logo's color in the left from green to blue.I have never done anything in flash before, this is the first time i've used the program, but so far i was able to figure out how to change the navigation and bar color and the text. but i can't seem to see where the color of this logo is coming from....
In screentshot 1 you can see that the Logo_Anim is made up of the Logo_1 - Logo_5 movie clips.Each of the logo_# clips is a piece of the logo.I'm not sure if something in the Logo_Anim is controlling the change in color of each piece of the logo, but it doesn't seem like the indiviual logo_#'s have any kind of setting..
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.how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?
I purchased a template from a website (Dreamline Studio) and have downloaded the included files. I have Adobe Design Premium CS4 loaded on my computer. Now that the files are saved to my computer, how do I actually start trying to make edits to this template? I tried to open the file(s) in Flash but it keeps saying that its an unexpected file type. I downloaded all recent updates from Adobe to make sure I had the latest releases for CS4 but this did not . I'm sure this is simple and I am excited to actually begin learning Flash, but for the life of me - I just can't figure out how to GET STARTED
i am new to Flash and am currently working with an XML based flash template. When i open the .fla file, none of the text or images show up. I understand this is b/c i have to edit the xml file in dreamweaver. However that is a very complicated way of doing it b/c then i have to keep going back and forth between several programs and saving, and updating, and never getting of "live view" of the chages i am making. My question is: Is there really no way for me to edit the whole xml flash template in Flash CS5? Meaning is there some sort of way to import or manipulate the files so that i can edit the text and images directly in flash pro cs5 and not having to keep going into dreamweaver?
I purchased a premade Flash template last night that is almost perfect for what I need right out of the box.The template is divided into 2 sections, the top being the flash portion and the bottom HTML editable The problem I am running into is editing the the buttons. When I dbl click the menu icons it just keeps jumping back and forth between layers, never allowing me the chance to alter the text.I can upload the SWF file if that would help.
I wonder if it's possible to use Flash/AS files as "templates" - in other words, we have the website [URL] 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.
