Dynamic flash website template
Dynamic Flash Website Templates are designed to be completely tailored to your needs. They allow complete novices and experts alike to easily modify and update. Dynamic Flash website templates are templates where you can customize the text from an external text file without having to modify and recompile FLA source file and images will be stored externally. All you have to do is make any changes you wish in the files we provide you with (simple text files and blank JPEG pictures), and upload them. They are then instantly displayed on the site wherever you wish. You don't need Flash MX to customize the template. All text changes can be done in Notepad and images can be replaced in external image folders. The source Flash .fla and Photoshop .psd files are also included if required . No knowledge in Flash is required. Purchase these full dynamic Flash websites and customize them yourself within no time.
Q: Why my image doesn't load in the Flash movie?
A: If the Flash movie allows you to "switch" the image by taking your own image, cropping it to the right size, and naming it the same file name, but the image does not load, the most common reason is that your image was saved as a progressive jpeg. Jpegs must be saved as non-progressive files in order to work in Flash movies.
Q: Can I use foreign-language characters in the Flash movie.
A: Foreign-language characters will show up in the Flash movie only if the designer has encoded the text field to accept more than just the basic English characters.
To test the movie, first try opening the text variables file in Notepad, then going to File > Save As. In the "encoding" field, choose utf-8 and save the file (replacing the existing one). Then, preview the movie and see if your special characters show up. This works for Macromedia Flash Player 6 and up.
If they do not, then the text field probably has not been set to accept foreign-language characters.
