Hi fox,
Without a custom modification, it’s not possible to place the social media icons into the features module. Currently the icons are only available in the about and contact modules.

OMG dude, i would rate you higher if i could!!! This thing is the most dynamic Flash website i have ever seen lol.
I usually like to go in and mess with the code and/or graphics to fit the project i am working on, but you made it so customizable that I don’t have to mess with anything.
I would recommend this app for anyone that has multiple music industry clients or that just wants a kick tail site. Even for the skilled programmer like myself that just doesn’t have time to do a from scratch project of this quality and magnitude.
thanks iamdok,

Hey iamdok
I just needed to find out the proper way to change the fonts and their sizes? By the way thank you for another great product!
Hi hotryan,
To change the fonts, when you open the fla files, if you don’t have the fonts installed on your system, you will be prompted to substitute for a different font. Select !chose substitute! , and this way you can replace the fonts all together. (needs to be done in each fla)
Here you can specify a bigger pixel font if you wish, but afterwards, you will have to check that the larger font is showing everywhere, as in some places the textfields may not be large enough to fit the new bigger font.
Hope this helps,
Donagh.

Hy, Im Purchase this beautiful template, and, now… i have a question for you! How to use in this template ç Ç ã õ… geral assents and caracteres with circunflexe??? please fabriciofalco@gmail.com 
RobReynoldssays
Hi, Great template, thankyou.
Just having trouble with fonts. i know you explained it above but:
In the about flash i changed font, all well but the size? Is it the reader size i have to change or am i doing something wrong.
Also when i try to export Events and News reader after subbing the fonts i get an error.
Am new to this so sorry.
Rob
Hi Rob,
Direct font substitution will only really work smoothly if you are using another 7px pixel font, like the original one. If you are substituting a larger font, you may need to manually adjust some textfields withing the library items or onStage which are not tall enough for the larger font.
Send me an email using the contact form in my ActiveDen profile page and paste in the errors you are getting, so I can have a look at them and let you know what the problem it.
Hope this helps,
Donagh.
Hi fabriciofalco,
To use special characters in the textfields, you will need to embed these into the places you wish to use such characters.
I will be adding special character support as part of the next small update, so if you send me an email using my ActiveDen profile page contact form, I will send you updated swfs when the special characters have been embedded.
Regards,
Donagh.

Hi..
first off, I like it very much!
I found an error when resizing the gallery. check: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/4426/123sp.jpg
I first believed that it was a one timer, but its not. I happens often.
secondly, when you are viewing a specific gallery, how do you get back to the gallery overview, without clicking on another menu link and back again?
thanks..

Can we add another menu or is there a way you can have a multi level 2-3 level menu with this? Please let me know.
shirazrasulsays
I really like the Map (events) module for the site, is it possible to get that as a standalone module/application that i can use in another site?
Please let me know.

discography.xml doesnt open with textedit on a mac, looks corrupt! any help??? thanksss
BENYA79says
Hi! I have only three questions about the template.
1 – I am interested in positioning the access to social networks in the main menu. How is it? 2 – In the contact form. I have the field of”errors”. Example “please complete all fields” Where can I change this info? 3 – In file “events” file, I can not find how to change the color of the “close” button.
Thanks a lot!
Hi BENYA79 ,
Moving the social media icons like that would require quite a lot of code changes and is therefore not feasable to be described here. It would need to be done as a custom modification.
To change the contact form warning infor, open the contact fla and go to the function starting on line 398. There you will see the various warning prompts, which can be changed here.
To change the color of the close button. Open the news_reader.fla, open the ibrary symbol “txtModalClose” there you will see the close text, here you can change its color. Then open the code, go to line 328 , here change the roll over color, and then go to line 337, here set the roll out color to the same color you set in the library symbol.
Regards,
Donagh.

Hello How Can I Change the Buy Now Text to Download Now. also There is a Bug on the pictures lots of time I see the TEXT File name on screen after I hit next image, how can that be fix. Cheers
Hey massivegroove,
Are you referring to the button beside the album details? If so, open the discography fla, find the symbol “albumBuyBtn” in the library, inside thee you will see the textfield, where you can change the text.
Can you send me a screenshot of the error you are referring to, as I don’t know exactly what you are referring to.
Best regards,
Donagh.
BENYA79says
Thank you Donagh! The web works well now.
I have the last 2 questions.
1 – The contact form is not working. I put the email address and change the names of name, email and message to Spanish in the PHP . Do I have to change something in the AS3 ?
2 – In the Twitter section, I can see the correct day and month but not the hour. 3 o 9 hours difference. In the Twitter web page I have put the correct zone or city.
Thank you again! This is the best Activeden template.
Hi BENYA79 ,
Yes, if you change the variable names in the php you will need to change them also in the contact.fla file. use the search tool to find them in the code. press Ctrl+F and then tye the old name , and click find.
The twitter hour will always be relative to GMT .
Regards,
Donagh.

How to put social icons in first page (features.xml and main.xml)?
Gushisays
Hi Donagh
when i open .fla file, i get this error:
Some characters could not be converted to outlines because an appropriate outline font is not available. These characters will disappear in the SWF Movie file. The characters that failed will look jagged if you choose Anti-Alias Text in the View menu
Am i missing any font ? or some setting issue ?
I downloaded all fonts and installed them, as per your DESIGN .

Hey Donagh,
I just saw you updated to 1.2, what files/folder do i need to change ? I hope i dont have to redo it all again, ive spent many hours to customize this great template. Let me know what’s the best way to circumvent this issue. Cheers.
Thüryn
Hi Thuryn,
Please refer to the description of what has been added or changes in the update 1.2. Any module that is mentioned, it’s fla and swf files wil need to be replaced. Most of the xml files for those modules have had a setting or two added, but nothing major. You could probably pick those up by comparing the previous and new xml files.

First of all, I LOVE this template….awesome job. It was easy to change all the xml and the site was up in 30 minutes!
I just need help with one thing…I need the scroll text area in the text module to be longer. Right now it is cutting off a long paragraph. How can I make it include a few more paragraphs!!! help!
Here is what I am talking about: http://www.benlivingston.com/#/about
Thanks!!
Hi mmpetrie,
The height of the about text area is set in the xml. This should be sized according to the normal secrren resolution of your target audience. All text which does not fit into the size you have set in the xml wil be then read by using the scroll bar.

DCRsays
Hi Donagh,
first of all great website you made! Is it possible to set the menu as 1 column and have the spacing/distance between menuitems to be the same?
Of course I can set the menu column to one but the spacing between them isn’t dynamic (default set to 180)
Can you help me out with that?
Would very much appreciate it.
Greets, DCR
Hi DCR ,
In the main.xml file the top 3 settings are as follows:
menuColumnSpacing=”180” menuRowSpacing=”10” menuItemsPerColumn=”15”
Using these 3 settings you can achieve what you require. Use the 3rd setting to set the number per column to more items than you have in your whole menu and you will get one column. Then set the “row spacing” to set the vertical space between menu items in that column.
Regards,
Donagh.
DCRsays
I’m sorry for not being clear enough, but I ment horizontal aligned menu instead of being placed under eachother. I need them to be next to eachother.
Is that possible, having the same spacing between each menu item horizontally??
Thanks for your quick support
Hi DCR ,
Using the current settings in the xml its only possible to specify the x position of each menu item based on a multiple of the value you enter in the main.xml file for menu column spacing. This doesn’t take into account the widths of individual menu items.
To achieve what you require, additional code would need to be written.
Regards,
Donagh.
