macromedia flash sitedesign: :confused; I am literate in Front Page, Illustrator, & Publisher but I bought a
flash real estate template online, and the website is a Macromedia site. I am
having trouble viewing a page so I know which page I am inserting a form into..
Like on Front Page, all you have to do is go to Navigation, then click on the
page you want to edit. All I find is the bits and pieces of the website. Is
there a way to see & edit a page?
Thanks!

Are you using Flash as the authoring/editing environment? Did you purchase
an SWF or an FLA file or set of files?

OK, so when you open Flash, and then open the template file within Flash,
what are you or are you not seeing? Have you done any Flash tutorials or
anything? Are you familiar with MC's, timelines, etc? I don't know your
level of understanding in general. The programs you mention are all image
programs. Flash is an animation program, huge difference. Have you done any
animation work before?

Vern,
It's Macromed. Flash MX 2004-trial. When I open the file, index.fla, I see
the text in the middle of the screen "loading" with the sites background color.
Then I click on F11 to see Work Area and folder Names with the kind of item
(button/movie clip/sound) on the bottom right. In that, I can find the text
"insert form here" to edit, but I can't find the actual page where the form
goes.

Sorry, I know this is very hard to do when you can't see my computer. It's
just frustrating, because I pick up on things quickly, and this is driving me
crazy.

Hi Rebecca, Sorry for my long delays between posts. I have been VERY busy
the last couple of days!

I am assuming you are not familiar with working on timelines and MC's (movie
clips in Flash) which is going to make this a bit hard. When you say you
are looking for a page where the form goes, are you trying to insert a form
or are you looking for a form that is already in there somewhere? If you
are trying to insert a form, where did you get the form, and in what format
is it? The reason I ask is a common newbie misunderstanding: Reality is,
you cannot diplay HTML forms within Flash. You have to build the form
within Flash using it own text boxes, etc. We should clear that up early on
here.

I know this is a product you have paid for, but how would you feel about
posting a copy of the FLA for me to have a look at? You can post it on the
backend of a web site and personally send me a link. I would be happy to
have a look. But so you know, I will be going out of town on mid Friday
afteroon and will not be avaialble again until Sunday afternoon.

If this sounds like a good idea, then send a link to me via: vp at
pc-grafix dot com Then tell me exactly what you want to happen. Tell me in
regards to the finished SWF file and how it play when published.

Vern,
My husband actually found the page we are looking for. I think we're okay for
now -- hope so. And I'll be getting a book for Macromedia Flash--taek a step
by step lesson.
Thanks for your help!
