How to replace the flash images
Below images files are used for the flash movies in this
template:
- image_intro.jpg
- image_main1.jpg
- image_main2.jpg
- image_main3.jpg
- image_main4.jpg
1. In order to replace the image with your own, you simply need to
create your own image in Photoshop and save the name of your image
file as same as the original.
Note: If you save your image file using the "Save As" menu in
Photoshop, somehow the images in the flash menu doesn't get
replaced. What we have found out is if you compress the quality of
image to 80% or greater, where the image size is 20k or above then
the image is not displayed in the flash movie. So, please compress
the quality of your images down to 70% using the "Save for Web"
function in Photoshop.
2. Copy and paste your image files into the “images?folder.
3. Images in the flash banners will be automatically replaced with
your own.
How to replace the flash text
1. If you open the flash_intro_text.txt file included in the web
folder in FrontPage program, you will find the following codes;
text1=Welcome to our website
&text2=Add your slogan here!
&text3=Add your text here!
2. Do not change or delete the "text_(number)="area.
Just change the text to what you want to add and then save.
