A friend recently came to me with desire to update his existing flash website that was built by someone else. Off the top of my head I know that I can't edit anything without the raw .fla files and replacing them. Is there anything else I can do, any other options to go about this? Or is it as simple as not being able to do it without the original .fla files?
View 1 RepliesImmediately 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 want to duplicate a flash website (no copyright issue, work assigned by the owner of the website). The only change I am required to do is to change each and every text in language A to language B.
I am a web developer with the knowledge of PHP,HTML,DHTML,XML,CSS,JavaScript but no flash .
Is it poosible to store the site as ans .swf or .fla file and then edit it? Or can it be edited and used or I need to create a new one from scratch?
I am working on a project for my brother and I am unsure how to do this.It is an existing flash template, we have all the files. I was able to change the images but I do not know how to edit an existing motion animation.For example, when the mouse rolls over or on load up, there is an animation but we want to change it to something else.
View 1 RepliesI had posted a similar query earlier but didn't get a satisfactory reply. I need to edit a flash website (only the text needs to be changed). Which software program should I use ? It is required to convert every text on the site (links or no links) to be converted from language A to language B.
View 1 RepliesSo 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.
Completely new to Flash CS3, Photoshop CS4, Adobe Dreamweaver, but looking forward to learning about them.My question is this. I'm putting together a horse website and was going to use this templateQuestion 1.All I want to do is change the images to horse photos and change the layout of one of the pages. Considering that I'm a complete novice, is it straight-forward enough to be able to do basic editing of these type of templates and change the images?? Question 2:It states on some of this templates that the requirements for flash are Flash MX2004. Is this the same as Flash CS3. Can I use Flash CS3 for this
View 3 RepliesI am using flash website template and editing with Flash CS4 and Dreamweaver. There are subwindows that open when clicking on menu buttons that have dynamic text elements. I am trying to change the text in these windows.I changed the names of the menu items that open these windows but the dynamic text is still displaying the old menu names as well as a numbering system(I.E. Services #1, Services#2, etc..) . I've looked through the content.xml, index.html, and of course the main.fla, How do I change the text displayed in these dynamic text elements?

View 6 RepliesIs there a way to edit an imported movie into Flash (CS2)? I try to remove frames, but then it seems to remove them from the end of my movie and not where I specified (in the middle).

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...)
My friend wants to be able to update the sites text himself. Is there a way he can easily edit the basic text online without having to use Adobe Flash (it would be even better if he could add photos as-well). I was thinking I could get flash to read an XML file but I don�t know how he could easily edit that as heis not techie at all.

View 1 RepliesWhat's the best way to enable a client to edit text in a Flash-only site? I'm not talking about throughout the site, just selected text blocks. I could easily fill them from XML files and provide a file upload facility, but most clients will want something more friendly. I could copy the text to a TextArea for editing within the site and update the text from that but I think I'd end up writing my own wordprocessing software to make it look friendly. What do others do? I don't want to re-invent the wheel!
