Hi -

I am trying to put this on my FriendsForSale page on facebook. The file will be hosted on a separate domain (obviously) and so the embed code should be accordingly. But it just doesn’t work.

I tried the same exact (non-working) code of ffs with another swf file [also on my server], and that works without any problems.

I tried changing the xml file image urls to exact paths and else but that apparentle isn’t the problem.

Do you have any idea why this can’t be embedded from another domain?

Thanks.

Hello,

4 months ago, you said this wonderful newspaper would not be available in AS3 . Is this always correct today ? I have bought your newspaper to put in a template (also bought here on activeden) but this template asks only for AS3 swf and not AS2 ! Could you please help me ? Thanks in advance. Dominique,

- nice file

- good idea

- easy for editing source file

- UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT SUPPORT UNICODE / UTF -8 / CYRILLIC , ANYONE WHO ATTEND TO PURCHASE BE AWARE ABOUT ENCODING …

Hello ZacharyKnight,

Thanks for replyiing me about AS3 … I have to learn it too

I have a question : how to put a link in the same window ? I’ve seen in your help file

Click = (FULL URL ) : (a web address that will open in a new window)

but I want the web address opened in the same window. Do I also have to put a complete URL (even it’s the same domain) ?

In the script, I see this: // getURL(_parent._parent.arr_ITEMS[v_ThisNum].attributes.Click); What do I have to do something like _self ?

Best regards. Dominique,

Hello ZacharyKnight,

Thanks for your reply. I’ve uncommented the line 82 :

btn_MAIN.onPress = function() { // when user clicks on this... getURL(_parent._parent.arr_ITEMS[v_ThisNum].attributes.Click); }

and, on the server (not locally), the newspaper is not diplaying !

Do I have to uncomment those 3 lines to be able to put a click ????

Best regards. Dominique,

Hello again ZacharyKnight,

I’ve solved the _self argument to open in the same page. Thank you very much.

I want to change the terms ‘extra’ displaying 3 times in the beginning of your animation. Do I have to change ‘extra’ like ” How to change the name of the newspaper ::” in your help file with a new layer and CTRL B and CTRL A ?

I’ve tried but it doens’t work …

Thanks in advance for your help. Dominique,

Hello ZacharyKnight,

Thanks for your reply. I’ve already tried that in the past but I’m not able to change the text in the TEXT __Extra! MovieClip… I’m searching the button ‘edit’ to be able to change your word ‘Extra!’ but I don’t find it. I’ve also tried to select all the letters of your word to replace them but it doesn’t work … Maybe it’s simple to change but … Could you please help me ? Thanks again. Dominique,

Hello again ZacharyKnight,

I’ll test with the rectangle …

One day ago, I’ve asked if I have to follow the help file to change the name of the newspaper for changing the extra! word. 19 hours ago, you replied :

find the “TEXT__Extra!” MC (note the !) in the Library and replace “Extra!” with your new word

and 6 hours ago, you tell me :

Just follow the “How to change the name of the newspaper” instructions in the help file

So now, I’m lost ;-))

Tell me just if I have to put a new layer and CTRL B and CTRL A to replace the extra! text ?

Thanks in advance and have a good week-end. Dominique,

Helllo,

Great component!!

I would like to set it to spin 3 times and then stop.

A pointer would be much appreciated.

Kind regards, Damien

nice work. Sorry if this has been answered already, but can the links not be a URL , but targeting a movie clip? Thanks!

Greetings – I need the url links to target top or parent however I’m having difficulty getting this to happen. I’ve tried this:

btn_MAIN.onPress = function() { // when user clicks on this… getURL(_parent._parent.arr_ITEMS[v_ThisNum].attributes.Click, target=”_top”); }

and this

btn_MAIN.onPress = function() { // when user clicks on this… getURL(_parent._parent.arr_ITEMS[v_ThisNum].attributes.Click,”_top”); }

Neither work.

Can you please advise.

Awesome item. Super easy to customize without knowing flash! Really glad I made the leap and purchased this!

I’ve got everything working except and it looks great! I am having one minor problem. I can’t get my file to open a new page when it opens the link. I updated the xml to say target = blank. When the swf is standalone it works, however once embeded in a webpage it doesn’t work. Is there a place in the fla that I need to update this as well?

Please advise. Thanks for your time!

Great item and really easy to use. Thanks for another great and very useful file!

I’m using this in an e-Learning module, and it looks fantastic.

But I have a question. Is there a way to change the font size and still have it look pretty good? I need to be able to fit a longer headline (using real headlines). I was able to change the font in Flash, but it seemed to move the content under the text up, crowding the text. Thanks!

Is is possible to change “The Daily News” for something else? I’m a French Canadian and people get frustrated easily when there’s even a tiny bit of text written in English. So, I would have to change this part of the document! Is it easy to do? Is it just a textfield or is it an image? Thank you very much for the info!
