Wonderful piece of work!

Unfortunately I think that many users will face the language problems… Perhaps you should consider to make all text editable?

And then – just to be a nag – that cocoa has turned cold! You ought to ad a little steaming smoke. Just for the effect ;-)

Thanks for the comment!

Indeed, the language issue has come up with a couple of purchasers. I’ll be updating the main file, but in the meantime I’ve been emailing a version with fully editable text to any purchaser that needs it.

Love the steam idea!...I’ll experiment with that and see if I can work it into a future version. :)

I rated this one 5 stars! it is a very professionally designed item that can be used with very little changes so it delivers outstanding value.

I added photos on the wall in the corner and our company logo in the bottom corner. Simple to customize this.

if I could make a couple of suggestions, here is how I think this item could be made even better!

- as mentioned before, more of the text could be made editable like the intro text, the newspaper headline, etc. I had to extract the newspaper graphic, pull it into Photoshop and make my changes there. Not a big deal but would be easier to simply edit in place.

- and for the intro text I needed to change “Christmas” to the more universal “Happy Holidays” and it took me awhile to figure out what font was used, go get it and then re-create the text. Maybe include a listing of fonts used.

- also it might be nice to include all bitmap graphic elements separately so I can modify them and import without having to extract them from the FLA first.

BUT , these are just minor critiques. This is an excellent item and anyone considering it should grab it right away! You still have plenty of time to buy this item, do a little customization and impress your family and friends by sending them such a cool and unique eCard.

Hi, so you need to have Flash to edit the custom greeting?? Also, how can this card be sent to someone through email? Thanks

Hi there. Yes, you need Flash to edit it. If you buy this, send me a direct message so I can send you another file that makes the editing way easier (I’ve not had a chance to update the Activeden file yet). To send via email, you need to post the files to a web host somewhere and send people a link to view it in a browser.

I just put the final touches on our greeting e-card and love it! Thanks so much for your help on tweaking a couple things (you really respond quickly!). Your script was really easy to work with and I was able to customize a couple things with it. Can’t wait to send it out. Thanks again!

I have found your card easy to customize but I am having a small problem with bumping up the jpeg quality to increase details within the custom newspaper.

The Coco mug animation stalls when the jpeg quality is even increased by 1%. Is there any way of combating this and bringing the compression to 100%

Hi there, and so sorry for the delay. I don’t check the AD site very often (I wish I would get notified when someone left a post). I’m sure your need has passed along with the holidays, but I’ll respond all the same.

I’ve seen some weird things with Flash before, and this is yet another one. I too was able to recreate the problem you described: any time I change the global compression setting, it kills the mug animation. To fix it, all I had to do was touch the movieclip inside the “mug main” movieclip – move it one pixel and then back, apply a transparency and set it back – anything would do – and then it would work again! As another work around, you can leave the global compression setting alone and adjust the compression setting just on your newspaper graphic.

I’ll be porting this over to AS3 for holiday season 2011, so I’ll try to squash this bug while I’m at that. Thanks for the heads up, and again, sorry I did not get back to you in time to truly help!
