Making a flash website, and since I'm a lazy guy I grabbed a template (seen
here http://www.templatesbox.com/free-flash-templates/003.htm), obivously it
need to be changed from a corporate one to something different, so I changed
the "slogan" layer to read something else, but when I publish it, not only does
it not show up, but neither does the section in the header (seen to say "we
develop the future" on that link).
At first I assumed the culprit was just the method it uses to flicker the text
was somehow interfering with publishing, so I made a whole new layer and
animated alpha transparency instead, but even my brand new layer didn't render.
I really don't understand it.
Most confusing (or perhaps the best clue), is even if I make no alterations
and just stick the template into flash and just publish it, it wont show those
2 text layers still. The top text layer uses a mask to transition the text in,
but I haven't succeeded in getting that one to work yet either. Again I could
redo the layer using alpha, but my previous attempts would suggest that it'll
be equally futile.

I recently upgraded from MX to Pro 8, and wonder if that is somehow a factor,
but even using older versions of flash player doesn't help.

I'm just over looking something obvious and stupid, aren't I?

not a complete template anyway, it doesnt contain the source files for
"partners, service, or contact". so you can't edit those pages.. unless you
create your own files for those pages and make sure the swf name is the same.
very poor template, and unless you are very advanced in flash, id consider
scrapping it. my two cents

the "name" layer, is actually right below the slogan layer that I'm having
issues with, and I already did in fact change that to a PNG of what I wanted
successfully.

I appreciate the suggestion to scrap the template, but I'm a fighter and want
to make this one work. For the incompletes, I'm just going to modify the
"home.fla" and rename the published file, which'll be an easy way to complete
it (and possibly what the template author had in mind).

The link seems to have moved on me, I think it's here now

Anyone else ever having this issue, I've solved it - the fonts that the .fla
was using I didn't have installed, therefor when it published those particular
text layers were left blank. Solved by using images or installing the needed
font.
