Fontdiner Loungy

Is the preloader included in the main zip file?

Yes it is.

Do I need to know Flash to use this file?

If you only want to modify the settings of the e-card, then the answer is NO, you don’t need it.
If you would like to modify the movieclips, graphics, audio or actionscript, then the answer is YES , you need some experience on how to use Flash.

Are the same code and movieclips for the AS2 and AS3 version of this e-card?

The answer is NO. Even if I really tried to keep everything in the same “look and feel” and a similar code, There are a lot of differences between these files.
If you are looking for an AS3 version, please visit Santa Claus Animation (AS3 – XML ) to get it.

Is the previous version (v1) included in the zip file?

Yes it is. You can find it inside of a folder named old_version.

The v1 version is still included in the main zip files for those users who required it, but it is not longer supported.

The v2 is very different on how it was built and it is the latest update.

Why the new version is not supported by Flash 8 if it is has been written for AS2 ?

There are some lines of code which are supported only by the Flash Player 9. Since Flash 8 can not export the swf for the Flash Player 9, then I decided to keep Flash CS3 as the lower version supported for the current file.

Are the external audio files included?

The audio files included in the flash file are compiled on it. No audio files are included as external files, since I am not allowed to do so.

Please do not contact me to ask me to send you these kind of files.
