Professional :: Change Text In Purchased Flash File?
Nov 21, 2010
I use DW CS4. I've gone to the Library panel, as suggested (below) but cannot find the "a Text 1" text as suggested.
Instructions that came with the Flash file:
This file has downloaded from Istockphoto.com.Thanks for buying this file.
This is a file for Adobe Flash version from CS3, CS4 or CS5.
For open source ".fla" file run Adobe Flash and press Ctrl+O.For viewing all movie clips open library panel (F11).Double-click mouse on any movieclip for view or edit.
For replace text - open library panel and click clips "a TEXT 1", "a TEXT 2" and "a TEXT 3" and change it.
All elements maded in vector, scalable to any size. No raster.
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
Code: [URL] What do I want to do? I downloaded a pre-made flash intro, and all I have to do is change the text of it, but I can't find out how!
When I ctrl+enter my movie, I see as first sentence in my flash intro "Creative Expression". I want to change that to another word.
When I go to my library, I find a lot of "sprites", and one of them has different layers in a timeline. Including the text layer I guess, because when I hide this layer, the text does not show up anymore in edit-mode. When I watch in edit-mode all the text in this layer, all the text are words "Text".
BUT when I ctrl+enter, I see other words, like "Creative Expression" as text.
In the library I can also see "sprites" in the library with as content the looks of the text "Creative Expression". But instead of "Creative Expression, the word in the "sprite" is just "Text".
So what did I do: I changed the word "Text" to my word and ctrl+enter'ed but I still see "Creative Expression". BUT in edit-mode I see the correct text (my text)
When I save, and export, I still see the words "Creative Expression", eventhough I changed it to my word.
How would I go and change the origins of the stage in my Flash file? right now its at x:30, y:35 for some weird reason. and when this file is done playing I have the as3 code tell it to load the next .swf file but the next .swf is not in the 0,0 location but rather the 30,35 location
i created a flash website but the problem is the size is to large to fit on screen i have imbeded buttons, Movies clips, masks, and about 7 different scenes in this 13 mb movie what do i do to make the physicle size of the objects on screen so i can view it on my sceen?
I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to change the text on this banner. The person setting up my website isn't available anymore. I have this slide show with a transparent banner at the top and photos that I can manipulate. I can also change the order by modifiying the file Images.xml:
Is there any way I can embed HTML in flash? I know I can do this with text boxes but is there any other way I can do it? If not I know theres is the load feature where I can load text from a text file. With the html text box editing, Can i link that to the text file?. As in when you edit the text box with html could i have the textbox's instance name equal to the text file? With this my issue is with the <a href> in one textbox, I would like when i click those it open another text file in a different text box.
Clarification: I have two text boxes in my flash file.One has current products. And the other is the description of the product they select. I would like a way to edit and change the products in the first text box without having to keep using the FLA file. Which is why i am using this code
var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded); function onLoaded(e:Event):void {trace(e.target.data);} myTextLoader.load(new URLRequest("myText.txt"));
The contents of myText.txt are <a href=(not sure what to put here)> Product 1 </a> But all that does is put it in the text output section in flash.It does not show it in flash. I need help getting it to show up in a text box.That is the first part But the main problem is im not sure how to code the a href correctly so that when i click it, another text file opens in the second text box.So that when a user clicks on a product ,like "Product 1" It opens the correct description text file in the second text box.
I am colorblind.I need to change either the color of the background or the color of the text on the layers section on the Timeline.I simply cannot read/see what is currently showing.It is a very light blue background with white text and white dots for seeing, locking, or setting the outline color.I need to either change the text color and dots to black so I can see them, or try to change the background color to a dark blue so I can read the white text.Changing the text color would really be my preference. Adobe hasn't been very concerned about colorblindness when developing these products. I can barely make out all the light grey/grey/dark grey/grey stuff.
I bought this template, and am trying to make some of the pictures when clicked have hyperlinks that go to other websites, i am turnong the picture into a button and adding this code in the action script [code]
how I can have a text field load some data from an xml and then the user can change the text in the text field and send it back to the xml file. Like load, edit, send.

I want to make some buttons and use the buttons.fla library. The button is inserted and given an instance name. A second button is inserted (same kind) and given a new instance name. But when I am trying to change the label text in one of my buttons the text is changing on the other button as well. I believed they where separate instances?
I have some dynamic text I want to change the attributes of. For instance, I would like the first few words of each paragraph to be BOLD and to be a different color. But when I select those words and change it to bold it makes ALL the text in the text box change to BOLD.

I see references to this all over. but no specifics on how to write a text file from Flash CS5. I am collecting responses during a assessment lesson and I want to write the collected responses to a text file on a local and/or a server.
I bought a flash news ticker from the site Flash Den but haven't been able to do much with it because it's in AS2 and I only really know AS3.The news ticker loads the text/link from an XML file, but it has a problem loading characters such as forward slashes (/), colons (:) as well as other characters?
I'm edit a flash file that uses about 11 different fonts. When I toss it into the editor and publish it some characters are missing from the product, such as W's and M's. I've installed the fonts that were included with the flash file into windows7.
I have Macromedia Flash MX 2004. I need to change the images in an fla file for inclusion in a new Web site. I have inherited an fla file and am just learning the in-and-outs of using Flash. I have been trying to figure out/learn what to do. But I am now under a deadline.

So in Illustrator you can "Find Font" in your document so you can pinpoint and change or delete text using that said particular font.In Flash I have a piece of text using an old font somewhere in my FLA (I've updated with a new one for all text since) and I'd like to locate it and either delete it or replace it with the font I'd like to use. When I open the file it prompts me in regards to me not having this old font any longer (the font I'd like to remove) and I tell it each time to use the newer font
When I click the type tool and drag a text box out and type a couple words at 235pt size it looks fine. as soon as I click off the text box, the text size jumps down. I have no idea why this is happening and I can't get it to stay. When I click the type tool on the box again the tet appears at the 235pt size. But when I click off of it and play the movie it is at the incorrect size.
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?
