Awesome – If I can do it, anyone can! I was able to easily change and modify modules, components, backgrounds, images, etc. – simply and quickly. The documentation is great. Thank you for helping this novice create something astounding!
Hi there,
love this template, I have a small detail that I just can’t seem to figure out on my own.
In the “gallery” module, I’d like the thumbnails area to either 1. not default as open when the window opens or ideally: 2. have them lower in the content area so that they don’t cut off my images that are vertical.
I know this isn’t set up in the xml files, i’m wondering if you can tell me where to go in the .fla file to find these configurations.
thanks!
This option has been already added in an upcoming update, you will be able to select whether you want the albums or thumbnails to be displayed at start, or select to hide the CP to show only the picture at start.
This update will be available shortly.
Can Ikoote display special characters specific for some languages ( %u010D%u0107%u017E%u0161%u0111 in Criatian?).
Thanks!
Yes it can, there is also a visual tutorial to show you how to accomplish that.
Very Impressive. Just a couple of things…
1) Once I buy the template, am I allowed to use it for more than 1 site?
2) From the html submenu any links can be formatted with “_blank” or whatever, so that the link opens in a new page or tab, right?
Excellent work…you should sell a boat load of these. Congratulations!
I just thought of something else.
Q.Is the ikoOtev1.0 logo in the upper left corner changeable to a logo of my choosing?
Hi Nitrox,
I have another question for you. It seems that in the “About” dialog you can’t put on the same line an image and text. When you do the image always shifts to the next line when it is displayed. Is there a work around that problem?
Thanks.

Thanks for the update, the ability to open the gallery without the thumbs or with is a very nice feature.
Here’s my question: is there somewhere in the xml that i could change the function within the gallery to show the full-sized preview when the user clicks on the image (rather than showing the info?).
My only hang up with the gallery is that it displays the images a bit small on the screen and since this is my photography site, it’s important for people to get a good look at the photos. I just don’t trust that most dummies viewing my site will figure out how to get the full sized preview!
i did try to make the whole flash file movie a bit larger (1200×900), but the text fields looked pretty rasterized and i couldn’t figure out how to adjust the text fields back to the original size after resizing the rest of the gallery in flash, otherwise that would have worked well for me too.
thanks very much for you patience and great work!
Hi,
Love the preview and bought the file, but…
I think I am experiencing the same probloem posted before.
I copied all the original files to my website and then I only get a black screen.
Am I missing somthing here?
It works fine when I click on the index file in my computer.
Hi Luizlima,
Are you using notepad to edit the XML?
If so, when you save the XML..make sure to set the ENCODING to ANSI..the default setting is UNICODE..
right me if i’m wrong guys..

I want to take the features fla and make it into a slide show with a timer instead in the as
in other words, the features you have to click next to get to the next text, I would want to put a timer (like the slideshow module) on that instead as I already changed the text
how can I do that ?
thanks in advance
Nitrox,
This is an awesome template, however, something weird is happening. The image that moves around behind the menu items only positions itself behind Home and Sub-Menu. Why doesn’t it take position behind the other menu items?
It is even happening in your demo.

Nitrox,
Sorry, I should have specified. The menu tab does not more across behind the other menu items on mouseover. When the menu item is clicked it takes it’s position. But, only moving for two menu items when there is a bunch more seems like a glitch.

he is out of the office for 30 DAYS !!!!!!!!!!!
wish i knew he was going on vacation ….....
:(
can anyone else help me out with my problem ?
I want to put a timer on the features fla
thanks in advance

First off, I just want to say what a great program this is ! Thank you!! very fast & clean.
My Problem is, you instructions say I can add any new “Modules”
I would like to integrate 2 modules but having a big problem with them showing up.
1 is DYNAMIC XML MAP/INFORMATION BOARD
and the other is
FOLDR – XML DRIVEN FLIPBOOK
both of these work absolutely fine alone or in any other html file.
But in your program I cannot just call their swf files in the path,
in your config.xml, it shows nothing.
and when I try to call it in the About.xml it show nothing but a blank area where it should be, like it’s there but not able to show.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Sincerely,
Jeff Grabowski
that i do know
the images, videos, xml have to be in the main folder, at least that is the way they work for me
:)
Trkboy09,
Thanks for the info, I will give that a shot..
Only other question I have about this product is.
Can the Top part of the site be re-sized so the Logo can be bigger that 55px?
Thanks

Problem with the news module..
If I enter more than 60 lines of text to 1 news article, It gives me a Null error & shuts down my browser?
Any help would be appreciated..
Hello everybody, I am back now for about 2-3 days, I hope I can responde to all problems posted since I left.
zoid ->
Yes the logo is changeable.
Depends on the licence type you select.
Yes each link is formatted.
ericminou ->
It’s not a Flash problem, it’s how HTML works.
Check the news module and see the HTML tags to know how to work around this.
mayalucia1 ->
Unfortunately, not for now, but I will try to add that option in the next update.
*
trkboy09* ->
I will try to add that in the next update.
Luizlima ->
I think the problem is that you used DreamWeaver to edit the XML file, or the XML file was corrupted when you uploaded it, try viewing it on your server, if you find weird characters, try changing the encoding type of the file, if that doesn’t work try contacting your hosting providers.
metropolitica ->
This is intentional, the marker moves behind a normal item when it’s clicked and it moves behind a sub-menu when the mouse rolls over it.
mystic01 ->
There are 3 possible reasons:
1.You specified a wrong path to the file.
2.The SWF modules use values and variables stored in “_root”, and thus when loaded into another SWF file, these values aren’t found and the module doesn’t function correctly.
3.The SWF modules use XML or any data-storing type files that are not found when the modules are loaded into the main SWF file.
Make sure paths to these files are relative to the main SWF not to the SWF files of the modules.
Regarding the logo, your logo can be in any size, the top bar will auto-fit itself to the size of the logo.
Regarding the news module, this bug has been fixed and the file will be updated now, please re-download.
Wanted to say that this is an excellent program!!!
A quick question, and I’m a newbie so this may seem obvious, but is there a simple way (outside of editing the module swf) to use the same module twice but with different content? I’m thinking there isn’t beacause the module’s main xml file lives outside the modules directory. If I’m correct (I have very limited knowledge of flash – have the program but don’t ever use it) is the edit to the swf a fairly straight forward process?
Thanks!
I still am convinced this is a great Program!! But…......
Your Bug fix for the News Module now crash the whole browser on load, I use to be able to see it.. Probable won’t use that module, and find something else.
I’ll stick with the old main.swf…
Yes all other mods may work with your system, but none Center! due to the way you enclose your AS2 scripting.. I have been able to center others peoples modules in your file with great help from them, they had to rewrite their AS 2 scripting to try & get it to center.. your example of auto center you have up did not work for any of the modules I have. I bought 3 different maps, none centered up… I bought 2 different flip-books none centered up… I bought a carousel image viewer did not center either… So only modules that did center were yours… just to let you know. You have a great product. But very frustration to incorporate other mods.. If need you should get one of these files & see for yourself.
Thanks for your help..
mystic01 ->
I am sure that my method will work for any flash file , as long as it’s used correctly.
If the elements of the module are contained in one movieclip (like my mods) , then it would be easier for people to center the whole module with less coding, if the elements are left in the root of the movie , then the code will be longer and you will have to define an auto-pos for each element.
At mine the News module apear in first moment, for short time, red in IE, Opera, Firefox but not crash the browser.
Nitrox, please add a simple mp3 player for (Auto)background.
Thanks!
After a little investigation in flash, I’m able to use a module twice…feel silly for asking now….actually it is pretty straight forward. Although I don’t seem to have the font used in the portfolio module….....?
I have a problem with the program on Mac: each time I try to go in “news” or “gallery”... for instance, the browser is crashed . Could you explain me how this problem can be fixed.
Regards.
Thank you for the reply. Would you elaborate on the difference between the two licenses regarding making websites. Can I use the component to build websites for clients and be paid for that service? Do I need to purchase the commercial license in order to move forward with this? Please explain.
Thanks
Zoid
Hey Nitrox,
Nice flash site. I just purchased it, thanks.
I got a small problem though. I am customizing the site and the problem is that if I make any change in the config.xml file (even adding a space, deleting it and saving the file) The site does not come up. It stops loading and all it black.
Have you seen this problem before?
Thanks
OK, so I should read the posts before asking a question. I was using Textpad for editing which I thought would not add anything to the file but apparently it did. I switched to notepad and I can make the changes now.
Have fun :)
