I purchased this and starting running into troubles getting thngs to work – came here and notices others with similar concerns….. my news reader and gallery wouldn’t work right out of the box…. what I did (what I noticed) none of the html pages have doctypes and the xml are without version…. you need to have these. Secondly, since flash 8 you need to grant access for local files to access the interent, if you are testing these files locally some of them won’t work until adjust your flash settings.
fix your doctypes, xml versions and flash setting.
Lots of stuff about editing the ‘feature’ function of the template… seems that this isn’t intended to be a feature of the template does it? seems its a feature of template who’s sole purpose is to help describe the template. Just delete it from the menu. Suppose if you can edit flash you can get to it, but I don’t think it was intended to be an editable feature of the template per se. IMHO.
I don’t understand the little grey mouseover highlight that bounces around when you hover across the menu items…. its like it remembers the last click and it will only flash/highlight those links that have been clicked once. its kind of unusual.
as for xml file naming, the previous poster….. as far as I know there is no automatic way to script/connect the file names to the text in the xml file. If there is I would like to know to. Its a pain, what I do is rename my photo group as a group so they are all named..filename(1).jpg through filename (23) lets say (24 photos total right?) then you create filename (1).jpg in the xml, copy paste it 23 times and edit the numbers only. Thats about it. If you just have to have individual file names, well it sucks to be you :)
Red flashy thing.. haven’t seen it yet, but one of the main mask’s in the flash is BRIGHT red, could this be changed to black? I changed it, but haven’t seen it, so I don’t know if this works or matters. And you have to flash of course.
So far, with the exception of the first things I mentioned above that gave me little scare – the template is awesome.
