Sorry, I’ve been away from FD for a long time. I’ve had a lot of things happen in my life that prevented me from being active on here. Big thanks to the other members who are kind enough to answer these questions on my behalf. I plan on answering most of these questions soon.

Hoi Abenson,

Great file, works perfect for me.

Preloader starts on black background how can i change this to white?

Posted 10 months ago

Hi absenson,

Looking to purchase your file. is it possible to change the size of the font used in the scrolling text boxes to make it bigger.

Thanks

Posted 10 months ago

Hey Sambora,

You can change the fonts to whatever size or font you prefer.

Abenson doesn’t appear to come around too often, so I thought I would help.

You can see what I did here: www.greatergooddesign.com

Have a good one.

To Burraburra, I am STILL waiting to also figure out how to change the preloader’s background from black to white. Seeing how my actual site is white, when the preloader fades out, it makes weird shapes where I have images…

HOPEFULLY Abenson will come around soon.

peace.

Hi there. Sorry, I’m an idiot. Ofcourse it is already loaded cause I’m pulling it from my own computer. So their isn’t a problem. Thanks for the time.

Is it possible to pass parameters to a .SWF module, like in embedded HTML ?

Posted 10 months ago

Hi Abenson and all,

Love this template – having a lot of fun with it.

I’ve made a little change to the PHP script – hope you don’t mind – let me know if you feel it works a little better.

Basically, it’s just a simple replacement in the “FROM” field that just inputs the visitors email there – so when you receive it – you just have to simply click reply and it’s already setup.

Great work!

abenson: Why I can’t call another external xml scroller with this template.

I have to use the scroller that came with the template only?

Abenson-

Very nice template. I would like to include a thumbnail image for the video module. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Also, after movie down video controllers, info and title are covering video controls. Where can I move this down?

Thanks.

burraburra- Change the color value in index.html ( var so = new SWFObject(“preview.swf”, “mymovie”, “100%”, “100%”, “8”, ”#000000”;); – to the color you want.

Sambora – Yes, you’d need to change the font in the text field(s) directly in Flash to make those changes.

officechris – That feature isn’t available in this file, that would take just some minor modding.

mich1s – Thanks!

d_camp9483 – Thanks!

JavierDesigns – I replied to you in your email.

cbooker – That option isn’t available. Considering in a next release.

cbooer(2) – Haven’t seen that bug of the video controls, can you send me a screenshot?

sombritas – Video thumbnails aren’t available in this file. I will make that a feature in the next file.

zonk – I’m not able to figure out the Portuguese characters. I’ll give it some more attention.

wardyworks – That’s a good idea. Considering for next release.

Draqi – Font question has been answered.

sicklif3 – Haven’t encountered that issue.

63 – Unsure about the link issue. Ensure that you can send mail on your server.

martinbej – That feature isn’t available.

branchmail – The your email address is defined in config.xml. Make sure you set that appropriately.

strk – Change the value of var nodeWidth:Number, and size your modules and assets accordingly.

I got everything to work after modifying the files, but still can’t get the CSS to load in the text modules – has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.

Posted 9 months ago

possible to set up a background image instead of a color? thx

Posted 8 months ago

abenson,

This template is great, perfect. I was wondering is you could help me with the PHP form. I don’t have much expierence with PHP and I can’t get the form to work as I already have it up on the web. I changed the email address to my email in the spot where I believe it goes and I can’t get the form to work. I already have one PHP form on my site and I don’t know if it’s the problem. Your template is a link on my main website site and in it’s own folder on my server, so I don’t know what the problem is.

Thanks, mwilson

Hello Abenson,

one other question, is it possible to show an image or a frame or the first frame of a vflashvideo in the video module?

It is all black and empty and doesn’t attract a viewer to check video.

Placing that frame at first would make a difference.

Thnx.

Martin

Hello Abenson,

i figured someone else had asked my question regarding “A Thumbnail or Frame of Video for video module.” and taht it is not possible.

However, I noticed in your XML Portfolio V3.3 file, that you had it integrated.

I do not know how it would be possible for you, but i think it will be fair to have that option for the XML Portfolio V1 as well, even at an extra fee.

Thanks,

Martin

Okay i just purchased your site. Very cool by the way. Now, I consider myself average in flash animation, but xml is a whole other world to me. To change the text, what do i open it with? word? I tried it in Word, modified your original text, saved and replaced it, but it didnt work. What am i doing wrong?

Next question: I have images of varied widths and heights. Do i have to set those measurements to each one by one in the actionscript?

Thanks again!

Hello! Great file!

It would be great if you could click a project or image and have it open a swf gallery ontop. Could this be done?

Thanks,

Posted 3 months ago

nice file. it’s slotted into my existing site without a hitch. rated 5 stars.

wondering if it would be possible to enter this template at a certain point? ie. half way through the scroll list? I see on your V3 file you can link within the template so it would be something like that I guess. Is this possible?

Thanks,
