Adding flash to WE Pro 7

[Beene]

Can someone please advise and explain the process. I created flash menu using coffeecup.com FLASH MENU BUILDER application. I copied all five files to my template directory. I tried to import flash menu to a WE 7.0 new template that I am working by Insert --> Multimedia --> Flash. I copied HTML code from coffecup.com menu clipboard to object component Asst script. When I tied to preview the template I get error message that "XML file is not found" . Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's a SWF File? Just open the File Browser ( CNTRL-B) and drag the file on to the page. DONE !

maybe it would work if you put it online..maybe you should a Google Search on the error message..maybe you should put the code on some text file so we could peek a boo,,,

I use Coffee Cup form Builder. Best software around.There are many options in the program,like fix for IE click to activate,Send user to custom page or create custom page in the program, checkbox for PHP or ASP, my bravenet uses PHP and Godaddy uses ASP. You can't preview on your computer because XML is server side you have to upload to your server.You can place it in your temp folder to view
The code for SWF file from CoffeeC has to be loaded by the custom script assist.WEs we add flash doesn't do it. I upload generated files to the root folder where your htm files are located. My Forms can be seen here

Beene, Are you talking about the cake slideshow? Works for me.

I would suggest that you make it much larger and slow down the picture change so one can appreciate the work.

I got carried away, thought you were talking about Form Builder. BUT the proceedure is still the same with Flash from Coffee Cup, You have to upload all the files to the root of your website.

[Beene]

Thank you for your help. I think I got an idea what I need to do. I will try to upload the website and than coffecup XML file to the same root. I will let you if it worked...

[Beene]

It worked!!! Thank you for all your suggestions. My special thanks to Roger. http://www.cakesbymasterov.com/welcome.html. I would appreciate if someone can tell me why my flash files look different than in my preview window.

Is that the preview in the Coffee Cup software, or in WE in the preview mode? And What is the difference you are seeing?

[Beene]

Roger, when I do preview in WE before loading the page to the server, my menus are expanded to fill white blocks; however, on the webpage they are much smaller in size and I need some guidence how I can fix this bug. Thank you.

Something is not right, your page is not loading/displaying correctly at all.
I'm trying to attach a screenshot here of how it looked on my end.

Beene You have 2 coffee cup flash menus and are using the script generated by WE. You need to replace the WE script with the Coffee Cup Script. Some Apps don't perform with the WE script (we add flash). This is specially true if you are using xml.I also found the New WE script doesn't allow the "now loading" page if you have one to load and display until the flash is done loading.
Just Curious, what are you doing with the wvf file?

[Beene]

Roger, I am not sure what is wvf files? I loaded all CoffeCup files to the server. I would appreciate a hint how to make CofeeCup flash files to work with WE. Where do I need to replace codes to make it work? I did three things 1. I drug and drop flash menus to WE and formatted the size. 2. I uploaded WE website to server and 3. I uploaded falsh menus to the server using CoffeCup ftp. I am using CoffeCup software to design Flash: Menus, Contact, Music, Photo Albums. I am using scroll text Adobe marcomedia trial version to create all text. I am not sure how but I made google map to work in WE without any problems www.cakesbymasterov/directions.html. Thanks again for your interest and help.

I did it. It took time to understand it but I did. Below are steps to add CoffeeCup flash files to WE.

1. Create flash file in CoffeeCup software and upload to the server.
2. Copy HTML CoffeeCup clipboard.
3. Create shape box the same size as CoffeeCup flash.
4. Place the shape box on the WE page where you want your flash file appear.
5. In the custom script of the shape box copy CoffeCup information from clipboard.
6. Load WE to the server.

Thanks to everyone who reply to my post.

Couldn't say it better myself. Some stand alone flash programs need the custom script and files it generates and not the WE.
Your page source mentioned a WVF (windows video file)
