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.

I downloaded the flashmo_122_3d_curve_gallery template.
Can i use a free website host like synthasite.com?
I got the swf file onto the website but not my pics. I managed to replace the images on my computer but i want to post them onto mywebsite.
I am new to flash. I’ve edited the template to my liking, but I’m stuck on two things. I want to put a different photo gallery in, either from flashmo, or one I already have, and I want to know if there is a way to add an html snippet to the site. I’ve racked my brain – I’m using Adobe Flash CS3 for the first time and can’t figure out how to put html in there – it is for a paypal button, and also the photo gallery, if possible.
Thanks!

I don’t know where the messages are sent. Would thank you if you can help me to get it work. Thank you for all your great work!

Hi,
who can help me?
I need some symbols in ActionScript3.0 for the menu.
(See example, Line 5: var menu_label).
It’s disappear in flash. How do I get them to show?
I mean extended Latin. Like Ä„Ä…ÄŒÄĘęĖėĮįŠšŲųŪūŽž
The same problem about the symbols is in the Contact Form. The symbols I type in the screen are wrong. Only 1 possibility I found – to paste the text from another editor – but I can not think, that the visitors will use this double way.
Another problem is, that the high and with of items in the content (content mask?) get wrong proportions. Like a tree with the fixed 600 high looks like 400. And also the text is rendered wrong. How to find the solution?
Hi Vilimas,
For your latin text, you need to do character embedding for your text fields as shown on http://www.webdesignmo.com/blog/2008/07/14/editing-buttons-in-flash-templates/

Hi !
my name is Cheikh DIAW.
I ‘am a student living in Sénégal (Africa).
I’ve recently dowloaded the “flashmo_128_elegant” free template in order
to edit and use it. But the fact is that i would like to insert an FLVPlayback component
in the first frame of “contents†or “flashmo contents†movie clip in the library. I did it but
the problem is that when i click on one menu button (different from the default one),
the navigation to the next frame runs well. but FLVPlayback component is will still be running
although it is not visible.
What can i do to prevent the FLVPlayback component from playing when i’m not on the default (first) frame ?
I need your help.
I am working on a flashmo template in AS3. I need to add a geturl button. Everytime I try, the swf just flies through all its frames.
Can anyone help?
btw: what exactly was wrong with AS2??????

I have got a wonderful flash template. I opened with Webplus 10 but I can not do anything on the pages… just write but even this is not right. In this section, editing Flash Template, you explain how to change few things but do not specify in which programme or which programmes can I use for that. I know very little about websites. I am a beginner. Please some help.

Hi, thanks for the great templates. I have downloaded the flashmo_161_pink template and I am trying to edit the background music part, can anyone tell me how to go about this? From what I can see, that function on the downloaded template is disabled and I am a newbie when it comes to actionscript.
The style of writing is very familiar . Have you written guest posts for other blogs?
I tried editing the button labels but now it just jumps from page to page, like its on a constant loop. However as soon as i put the labels back to what they were it works fine. Anyone know how to sort this?
I am having this same problem in the Old Age template, can anyone help me figure out how to change the pages?

Hello,
I am working with flashmo template 127_curtain.
The template has been a huge help and really easy to manipulate in Flash CS4.
However, one thing has been a lingering issue I can’t seem to solve. Was hoping someone here could help. If anyone takes a look at the template (Flashmo_127_curtain), is there a way to edit where it says “Curtain” to a word of your choice?
I can find the layers for the text contents on the site, as well as the heading on each section…but not for “Curtain.”
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions on how to change it?
Thanks!
