[CS3] Is My Goal To Edit The IMAGES In A Flash Template?
Newguy here:
If I want to edit a flash intro to a premade template, I need to edit the IMAGES...correct?
For example;
I open the temp, flash, images...there are about 5 that say something like..
backo1, back02, back 03

All are the same but the images show the progression of the flash.
Now, if I want to edit the text, (I asked in another thread and apprantly it's not possible to edit flattened .png), I have to somehow edit those images back01, back02..etc.
Am I thinking in the right direction?
Thanks!

Edit Template
First off let me start by saying this is a great site lot of info and the info is really understandable. Well that being said.

I am an extremely noob at this Website thing so let me tell you me predicament I bought Macromedia’s Dream weaver 8, Flash 8, Fireworks 8. I wanted to start on the right foot of web page making so I also bought the Lynda.com Dream weaver 8, Flash 8 tutorial DVD for beginners and after a few hours of watching and practicing I downloaded a few Flash Templates so that I can start editing and getting some practice. It came completely in flash with the red I con.

Now for question how and with what program do I edit the Flash site? I thought I could edit in dream weaver but it seems I can. Can someone help please?

How Do I (edit A Template Site)...
I will try to keep this short. I bought a flash template from boxedart.com. I was so long ago my reg expired along with my support... thus I seek help from the willing. Template url: http://www.boxedart.com/phpshop/info.php/mp_/16427
The robot arm swings off screen grabs a frame swings back, on that frame a .swf movie is displayed... Now what I would like to do is click on one of the four pictures in that frame and have the arm drop the frame and fetch a new frame like it does when you click the "about" button along the top. Each frame the arm grabs is a stand alone .swf file I have made many other frames but cannot make the arm grab them. (stupid robot).
Thank you for the opportunity to get help,
and for any help in advance.

Help Required To Edit A Website Template.....please/
Hi.

I am in desperate need of some help to edit a website template.
I have very limited knowledge of Flash and know even less about xml.
I am hoping that someone will be kind enough to point me in the right direction.

This is the template.

http://templates.entheosweb.com/search. ... 04&x=4&y=7

You can view it without purchase.

The editing is done in Flash for the appearance and xml for the text and images.
There is no Entheos software involved.

I have located the pages layer and can make changes in respect of where and how big the text blocks are and general layout of individual pages.

I can edit the text from the xml document via the file menu and selecting edit with ’XML Editor’.

So far so good.

However, if I want to remove an image or replace it with a different one I get ‘100%’ either where the image was or over the new image. (I have replaced the image in the source file to change it for the one I want.) Some images on the pages are links to external sites. I do not need this facility.

The next thing is more complicated (for me at least).
There is a scroller on the ‘Home’ page which I would like in the same place on the other pages from the menu list except for the ‘Contacts’ page.
I thought that if I cut and pasted it from the ‘Home’ page it would be OK. It sort of works except when I navigate back to another page from the menu everything disappears. By navigating around the site it all eventually comes back.

The reason I want a scroller on all the pages is that they will hold a link to a second page. I have managed to edit the ‘Home’ page successfully like this.
Basically the website is for information only. Each page from the menu is a manufacturer and the info in the scroller is a list of products. The info link takes you to another page containing a brief description of different models in that product range. Each of these models would link to another page which would contain a more detailed spec sheet and photo. My major problem (apart from not knowing jack..) is that I don’t know how to put in this extra page with a link from the second page and a back button in the Flash document and then put in the right xml code to facilitate it. I have scanned the xml document for clues by looking at what’s there for the current stuff, but, as you can tell this is not my forte.

My final problem is how to move the ‘Contacts’ page to the top of the menu list, because it will be a ‘welcome’ page and not be called ‘contacts’

Am I asking too much?

I will try to give as much info as possible for anyone who may be able to or want to help me.

Any advice will be most gratefully received.

Thank you in anticipation…..

Nikki.

PS Please be gentle with me. I know the urge to take the rip must be great.

Template Monster Fla File Gets Buggy After I Edit Some Assets
Hi I purchased a template and would like to add my logo to an mc. When I do, some navigation buttons stop working correctly. I added a graphic to the logoMC and now the next and back arrows in the newsMC dissappear on rollover.

The action script in the newsMC looks like this:


Code:
_nxtMc.btn.onRollOver = function()
{
_nxtBc.colorTo(_root.WhiteClr, 5.000000E-001, Elastic.easeOut, 0, null);
};

_nxtMc.btn.onRollOut = function()
{
_nxtBc.colorTo(_root.FClr, 5.000000E-001, Elastic.easeOut, 0, null);
};
_nxtBc.btn.onRelease = function ()
{
if (numb == tot - 1)
{
numb = 0;
_varFnc(numb);
}
else
{
++numb;
_varFnc(numb);
}
};



I looked at the action script files and looked up "colorTo" and found this function which is not the complete function:


Code:
static function initShortcuts()
{
shortcuts = new Object();
var methods = {alphaTo: "_alpha", scaleTo: "_scale", sizeTo: "_size", rotateTo: "_rotation", brightnessTo: "_brightness", brightOffsetTo: "_brightOffset", contrastTo: "_contrast", colorTo: "_tint", tintPercentTo: "_tintPercent", colorResetTo: "_colorReset", invertColorTo: "_invertColor"};
var _loc4 = _global.com.mosesSupposes.fuse.FuseFMP.getAllShortcuts();
var _loc7 = {blur: 1, blurX: 1, blurY: 1, strength: 1, shadowAlpha: 1, highlightAlpha: 1, angle: 1, distance: 1, alpha: 1, color: 1};
for (var _loc9 in _loc4)


Does anyone know why an additional graphic would fudge the action script code?

I can post additional files or the template if neccessary.

Swithching Function From Test File To Template? Loop Isn't Working In Template
Hello everyone,

I've finally come back to my original document that I need this function to work on. There's a problem with it continuously looping to undefined when I move it from images1-1 to bubba1-2.
Bubba1-2 is my default template that I need to make this work on.

I've placed a zip file if I'm not making sense, for someone to help me on this little loop problem.
I think the problem is on line 116 of bubba1-2, when I tell it to loop again.

images1-2 is what I'm trying to achieve in bubba1-2.fla

Looping to undefined????????????
I know it has something to do with me calling my xml function all over again. But, I cannot figure out where my problem lies.

If anyone could help me on this good day I would appreciate it!

Enabling Your Clients To Edit These Xml Files Or Txt Files In An Easy To Edit Format
Okay so this is an issue i've faced since day one and am growing tired of not having an ideal solution for. I've learned to create files that can be updated via xml or simple .txt to make the updating process easier, but how do you gurus out there bridge the gap by enabling your clients to edit these xml files or txt files in an easy to edit format like your basic cms... but except it would be cms that would update the xml or txt file and then in turn update your swf file.

I'm sure you guys out there rely on many different solutions but i'm just looking for some enlightenment on the different ways to accomplish this and what i could possibly do to be pointed in the right direction.

Thanks ahead of time for any insight.

Flash Templates -best Way To Edit
I have been asked to build a website for my in-laws' business. She has picked out a template. The one that my MiL really wants to use is built in Flash. It's from Template Monster i think. Is flash the only thing available to edit the template? She only wants me to change the pictures and text, not the functions or transitions, music etc. She just wants it customized with the business info.

As noted, I am a newbie to flash. I have used all the Macromedia apps in the past except for Flash. So the interface I am hoping should be somewhat familier.

thanks!

Edit/save Xml With Flash
If I create a form in flash that gets its info from an xml file, can i then allow the user to edit the info that is loaded and save it back to the same xml file? They type in their changes and hit a 'save' button. It overwrites the file automatically. Basically I want to avoid doing a backend DB by using the XML. If it is possible, how easy is it? I am fairly new to AS. Just point me in the right direction and I can figure it out though. Thanks for any help you can give.

AS2 Code Edit To AS3 In Flash
Hi community! I am using a book to help me learn flash and AS3 but the new book I have is awesome but uses Flash CS3 and codes in AS2. Can someone assist me with this short bit of code to change it to AS3 format?

First frame has this code below:

stop();
pauseAnim = setInterval (this, "nextFrame", 3000);


Second frame has this code below:

clearInterval(pausAnim);
play();

I am sure that the first frame needs to have the var in front of variable. Then I think the variable needs pauseAnim:Object or something but I have no idea. Any help would be great.

Is There Any Way To Edit Bitmaps In Flash?
I am editing a flash file that was created by someone else. The animation uses bitmaps that were NOT converted to symbols. I need to edit these bitmaps. When I right-click them in the library, "edit with..." is grayed out so I'm unable to edit them in an external program (see my other post).

Is there then at least some way to edit these bitmaps in Flash?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Edit Flash W/out Raw Files?
A friend of a friend had someone design his business website, but for whatever reason they're not doing maintenance AND didn't leave any raw files. I'm not sure what the behind-the-scenes story is... what the problem for ME is, I've been asked to make a few corrections and edits to the site.

There is a piece that is Flash 7 with a wrong link that I need to fix. But I don't have the raw flash files...

Any thoughts or ideas on how I can edit this link without those raw files? I've played around with Flash a litte bit, back under version 5 I think it was, so am definitely NOT an experienced user or designer!

Thanks!
