Editing Flash Templates
Posted by admin in Flash, Tutorials
A lot of flash beginners wanted to know how to modify free flash templates from flashmo.com website. Here are a few basic steps for editing button labels in action script panel and contents for all pages.
- Button Labels are located on the first frame of actions layer in most of the free templates.
- You can edit them from menu_label array values by opening “Actions” panel (press F9).
- Edit “contents” or “flashmo contents” movie clip in the library for all different pages which are linked respectively to button labels.*
* Note for old flash templates
After you changed button labels, you also need to change frame labels inside “contents” or “flashmo contents” and also “photos” (if there is) movie clip which must be exactly the same as button labels. Otherwise, you will see the loop because flash cannot find the frame label when you click on a button.
In order to make the contact form in contact page to send to your email, please read this post. You may write a comment to this post if you have any question.

It’s not the text fields that I’m having trouble with but the whole scenes html alignment. The cloest thing I could find was the html alignment option in the Publish Settings. I could align it to either the right or left side of the browser window, but default, top, and bottom alignment options all set it to the left side of the window.
Admin yes you mentioned that you have answered the question, but it still does not fix the problem.
If you check post #146 and go to my website you can see that the flash appear to the most left and top margin.
But if you open the template that flashmo from scratch the web appears in the center of the browser. Once you modify the template, iut ehn moves to the left…
Hi Admin. I have made all my changes and now I’m ready to upload the website to my hosting. Which files should I be uploading & how should I prepare the files before I do? I’m using the Fashion Gallery 118. I’m a newb so this is totally new.
Thanks in advance for you help!
Hi, I have Flash 2004 MX and can’t edit any template so far, the caption says ‘unexpected format file’. Sorry but I don’t know if my version of the adobe is enough or not, would you please give an explanation?
I’m having the same problem as Nezzer, the flash object, I can’t align center.
tags don’t work…
D’Rae,
Pretty sure you just need to upload the .html and the .swf files.
Sebas! I figured it out. We have to edit the html file. Here you go
http://flashmove.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25861
you can thank me later.
FYI: You have to put that code in after every time you publish your flash file.
Nezzer,
Thank you for that info but I don’t see any .swf files.
I have a xml document, 2 php script files, jscript script file, flash document file, flash movie file, html file and my picture folder.
Maybe I didn’t do something correctly.
oh I see the swf files now…when I opened the ftp client. going to try it now.
Please bare with me. I have it up now but the title of the webpage in my tab browsing says flashmo_118_fashion_gallery_v8. How can I change that?
Thank you in advance,
D’Rae
Nezzer,
Now I see that you are talking about HTML alignment. I am glad to hear you finally solved it.
Yes, you can use either <center></center> or <div align="center"></div> tag.
Oh I think I got it. I just edit the html file correct?
Yeah, to change the title of your page just edit the html doc and change
CHANGE THIS
hehe, can’t put html code in here huh? Well the title of the page is inbetween two tags that say title with brackets around them. Go figure huh?

I am one of the people who must sincerely thank you for this site. You have gone beyond any other site in offering real, usable and beautiful designs.
I have one problem though. I receive the ollowing error message upon publishing: WARNING: Duplicate label, Scene=flashmo.com, Layer=actions, Frame=105, Label=stop
Pretty certain that it is a quick fix, but I haven’t found a tutorial which deals with it yet. Any help would be appreciated, and yes, although I have not yet (because I’ve been too excited working on my project to do so) plan to donate because I believe you should be rewarded. Not sure if my donation will adequately compensate, but hope it helps!
this is also my problem the contact form to work, and i also want to add additional form how to do it? As well as how to put link in a text please let me know
hey im using the dream template , just wanted to know how to change the addresses in the contact form placed next to the form. Office 1 and office 2
Aalok,
If its like the template I’m using you have to go into the library and edit the contents. It will allow you to go from page to page and edit the content. All you have to do is click on the text & edit.
Hope this helps,
D’Rae
I figured out my mistake with the contact form!! My website is up and running. Thank you for the use of the template. It is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
D’Rae

How am I able to add a flash template I made to Myspace? Does anybody know?
thank you!
i have the artwork 120 template how do i edit the menu nothing here that you said worked
thanks
Yes I am having some trouble with template 080. All is great but when I add more photos to the xml it breaks after. It seems that the masking breaks and I am seeing the whole gallery unmasked. I added an attribute to the node. Like I said it works till I hit 18. Anything after that it goes wacko. I checked the xml over and over and it seems I have not made any mistakes.
Thanks for sharing…
Very nice interview, thank you admin for this flash site!
how exactly would i change the frame labels?
Dear admin,
I am hoping for some slight assistance. I’ve been using the flashmo_086_speaker template. At the bottom in the album list, it is a great idea. But what I have been racking me brain to figure out is how to change that to when a thumbnail is clicked, it plays a small mp3 instead of launching a webpage. I’ve imported music, dealt with different ideas in the xml but no avail.
I would very much appreciate any help and if so, you can expect a generous donation.
Thank you
D’Rae:
You said you had figured out a way to make a contact form work? Could you please share.
I have hosting with GoDaddy and I can’t get the contact from to send to my e-mail addy.
Thanks!

Joan,
Sorry to hear about your problem. I had the same one and had to downgrade to Version 8 for a while. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on any features really and I no longer get that error ::knock on wood::

Hola,
En primer lugar deciros que teneis unas plantillas geniales, y en segundo lugar, ¿ porque no ponéis un tutorial en flash para saber editar una plantilla? Creo que serÃa mas facil para todo el mundo.
Un saludo.
Hi and thank you for your wonderful templates.
I am using flashmo_126_envelope and am trying to figure out how to edit the part that says “site name”. It is not text and is a bitmap instead, but I I like the font, and you cannot use another bitmap because it covers the whole area. How do I edit it to say what I want?
Also, the template does not come with the movable photos that you see on the template. How can I add those?
Thanks!
I am tryin to edit the free flash template flashmo33 via Flash 8.
