Editing Flash Intros
Posted by admin in Flash, Tutorials
This is a list of step by step instructions showing you how to edit flash intros. Firstly, you need to download flashmo_091_intro.zip file as it is the sample file used here. Other free flash intros from flashmo.com also have similar structure like this one.
Extract the flashmo_091_intro.zip file. Open up the FLA file in Flash 8 or CS3 program and press F11 to see the library.
- Double click on welcome movie clip and edit the text “Welcome to flashmo.com” to your own text message or put a logo graphic or image.
- Like the first step, edit the text inside free flash templates movie clip.
- There are total 5 frames inside flashmo text movie clip which shows up one frame at a time in a loop when you run the SWF file. Edit each of them and replace with your own text.
- There are also total 5 frames for 5 different photos inside flashmo pic movie clip which shows up accordingly to flashmo text movie clip when you run preview SWF file. * You can put any number of photos by adding up more frames or deleting frames which you do not need. Keep in mind that total frames inside of both flashmo text and flashmo pic movie clips must be equal as they are linked on the root time line. *
- Import your own photos (345×180 size) to the library.
- Double click on flashmo pic movie clip in the library to replace with your photos.
- Click on each photo, then press “Swap…” button in properties panel (ctrl+F3) at the bottom.
- Select one of your photos in “Swap Bitmap” pop up window.
- Edit the text inside “music credit” movie clip like in the first step.
- If you do not need a replay button, select the frames (inside red rectangle as below), right click on them and click “Clear Frames”. You will also need to delete the actions line no. 1 to 4.
- If you wish to redirect to your web page when the intro is done, just remove double slash // and edit getURL(“your_page.html”);
Have fun playing with the intro. You may write a comment or suggestion if you have anything to say.
It’s cool. Though i don’t know well and not good in flash editing, i have been visiting your main flash site and know that most of your design and creation are supper cool compare to last year.
It’s a good step here you have this site again and hope people can learn more thru your site.
Keep up more info on how to create flash. It’s really useful as we can see step by step process. May be i will try one when i have spare time.
Best,

Hi! I love your intro templates. However, I’m not sure how to include this intro templates inside my main flash templates.
I’ll be using the flashmo_104_circular templates and i would like to include flashmo_27_intro.
And, also, i don’t know how to edit the intro template. Somehow, there’s no ‘welcome’ movie clip in flash_27_intro.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi Nisa,
Here is a tip for you.
1. Put an empty movie clip in a specific frame (which page you want the intro to appear) inside “flashmo contents” movie clip in circular template.
2. Use loadMovie() function to load the intro SWF file.
For 027 intro, you may add it if you wish to.
thanks admin!
I’ll try it. And if it doesn’t work, i’ll get back to you!
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I appreciate the flashmo_091_intro.zip file and all of the samples and tutorials made available. I have a question about the right-click menu drop down that appears. Current it states “Created by http://www.flashmo.com” which is fine because it’s good to give credit where credit is due. My question is how do you remove it? I’ve been up and down the source and can’t seem to find where it is hiding. Thank you!

Using intro #44. Am trying to delete two unused frames. Can’t find anything relating to these in the library other than the ‘text’ files which I deleted, but the words still come up “text 2 goes here” and “text 3 goes here” with empty picture frames floating above them. How do I delete these two slides?
Help? Fantastic info on the site, many thanks.
Great intro! Love it!!
Does anyone have instructions so visitors can turn off the sound?
Ah, just figured it out.

I’m looking at http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_137_intro and noticing something odd. If I open both IE and Firefox side by side and load that up, the animation part plays faster in Firefox, resulting in a premature ending while the sound track is still playing. However, in IE it plays as I would expect it, with the animation ending the same time the audio ends. Is anyone else noticing this?
For those wondering about this, I found out a few things:
1. Yes, this is a known problem.
2. Adobe says it’s IE’s fault.
3. No, there’s no proper fix for it.
4. You can “cheat”.
Basically what I did was to make the audio longer than the animation. Then, some 60 frames (or so) before the animation reaches the end, I added a keyframe with some AS to fade the audio. This way, regardless of how fast or slow the browser plays the animation, the audio will always end with it.
Now, since I’m also looping the animation, that means I had to add a SoundMixer.stopall() once the fade reached 0, then fade back in at the beginning of the animation (otherwise the SoundMixer will remain silent (since I just faded it out at the end.)
Works great.
How do you add a picture at the end of the intro instead of the replay?
it is cool, thanks for the sample

Hello!!
I would like to ask you if there is a way to have the actionscript code of the flashmo_091_intro? Although I have the zip file I can’t see the code when I open the fla file.
Thank you
Hi EVRI,
Did you open the action scripts panel (press F9)?
Hello!
I have opened the action scripts panel and it seems to be empty. In some symbols of the library or when I select a layer it displays a message that says “Current selection cannot have actions applied to it”.
Thank you for your help anyway.
I have a question is how ti remove : the right-click menu drop down that appears. Current it states “Created by http://www.flashmo.comâ€
I have a question about the video looping. I want to have it continously loop without having to hit the “replay intro” button. Are these the instructions given that say to clear the replay frames and delete action lines 1 to 4 in the .fla file? Is there a way to get the continous loop by editing the code in the html file. Because just changing the loop value to “false’ doesn’t work. Help please
Thanks
maxo93 – search for this: var item:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem(“Created by http://www.flashmo.com“, flashmo);
