The Sponge Board XML Gallery Site Template

le19h, thank you for your comment. However, this file does allow you to edit description text using the gallery.xml file, so I’m not sure what you are asking for here. What you describe almost sounds more like my Sponge Board V2 file. I will CC this to your email. Thanks again.

hi – I am having trouble with the email part – the code is not working

email@123.com ”> email@123.com – is this the right email code to use? thanks …

also one more thing – can the thumbnails get bigger?

also one more thing – can the thumbnails get bigger?

Hi tastetwist23. No, there is no support for different dimensions of thumbnails. In regards to your trouble with the email, just write in your email – i.e. email@123.com – into the XML . If you continue to have problems, please email me your files and I can take a look at them for you. Thanks.

This looks like it has some strong possibilities for what I’m look for. A few questions:

• Can it display .swf/.flv in addition to just static images? • Where specifically is the description text for the individual images added? Is that part of the XML file that also calls the images? • Are the size, position, and padding of thumbnails editable via actionscript?

Thanks!

Hi CatMissile. It can display SWFs, but not FLVs. The description text is added in the XML where the images and thumbnails are added as well. Yes, the size, position and padding is editable in ActionScript, but not anywhere in the XML , so it would require knowledge of AS3 to edit this. Thanks.

Thanks, ChristianKragh, for the quick reply!

One quick follow-up question: knowing it can display .swfs, can it display an .swf that has a placed .flv within it i.e. I don’t mean can your file place a stand-alone .flv, but an entire .swf/.flv “package”?

I hope that makes sense.

Yes, that does make sense. I haven’t tested this, but yes, it should work. The rule is, as long as you don’t have any code referring to parent movie clips or states above (in layer/depth) the contained SWF , it will work. Also, there can be some issues with AS2 SWFs loaded into an AS3 SWF . Thanks.

Hey, first I’d like to say I really enjoy your template and its plain character was exactly what i was looking for.

I have a few questions though: 1. In the “contact” section I’d like to add some text over the e-mail box – like my phone number, address and so on – how could this be done? 2. I really, really would like to have the menu titles in white. Black is ok for “current title”, but when I have black background color then other menu titles are not visible enough.

That’s it, thank you again for your work.

Hi palpatin. These things are fairly easy to edit if you are familiar with Flash. For the menu text color – open the FLA and once inside Flash, open the library. Everything will be organized clearly into folders – in the mainMenuAssets folder, double click menuButtonText and you will edit the text field of the menu buttons – in the properties tab, just change the color to whatever you wish. For the contact issue – open the FLA and once inside Flash, open the library. In the contactAssets folder, double click contactClip and you will edit that movie clip. You can unlock all the layers and select everything and move them down, making space for the text you want. Then use the text tool to add in your own text of whatever you wish. I hope that helps you out some. If you would like me to do this for you or any other customization work, please email me about this. Thanks palpatin.

Is this item still supported?

Possible to have the Image open to the first image in the heading collection (Beauty, Fashion, etc.)

Sorry, I should have delved further.

I cannot get a .flv to play that is loaded by a swf.

(either by a flv playback or by a video object and netStreamConnection)

Thanks
