SWFObject: Javascript Flash embed script
This template uses the SWFObject (v1.4) Flash detection and embed script provided by Geoff Stearns at http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/. This script detects whether or not the user has the Flash player, and if it does, it loads in the Flash movie for them to view. If they don't have the Flash player, it displays your alternate content. The alternate content is what you see in your web editor (a static image or text).
The SWFObject script also resolves the IE update issue where embedded Flash movies require an extra click for interaction; using the script will allow viewers to interact with the Flash movie directly. The SWFObject script also allows your web site to have fully validated HTML.
Please be aware that the script may be updated occasionally, and it is your responsibility to visit the SWFObject site to check for updates and implement them.

How to make a new web
We now package our web templates in a .zip instead of an installer (.exe) for Macintosh (Apple) users and because many of the firewall software updates that companies have started to block the download of .exe files. This means that a web site folder is included in our product instead of what is referred to as a "FrontPage Web Template."

To create a new web site, copy the web folder to your My Webs directory and go to Open Web or Site on the File menu instead of going to File > New to create a new web site. Browse to your My Webs directory, then find the web folder you just copied. Select that folder and click open. Also, you can copy the web folder to the following directories depending on your FrontPage version and then use it as a FrontPage web template if you wish.

** FrontPage 2000/2002 **
FrontPage Web Template folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Webs\

** FrontPage 2003 **
FrontPage Web Template folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\Webs\

To apply a New Web Template in FrontPage 2000/ 2002
1) On the File menu, select New, and then click Web
2) In the Web Site list, choose "Template Name Web" for your new web.
3) Type or select a name for your new web in the Specify the location of the new web dropdown box.
4) Click OK to apply the web template to your new web.
5) Open the "index.htm" file and read the instructions. The new web also includes a detail tutorial on how to use the web.

To apply a New Web Template in FrontPage 2003
1) On the File menu, Select New.
2) Click "More web site templates" in the right column.
3) Choose the "TestDrive" template. (This may also be in your "My Templates" folder.)
4) Click OK.

Replacing the Flash Text.
1. Open the flash_text.txt file in the web folder.
2. If you want to change the flash menu, please replace the menu text as follows:

&intro_text1=Add Your Slogan 1 Here   to   &intro_text1=YOUR OWN MENU
&intro_text2=Add Your Slogan 2 Here   to   &intro_text2=YOUR OWN MENU
&intro_text3=Add Your Slogan 3 Here   to   &intro_text3=YOUR OWN MENU
&main_text1=Add Your Slogan 1 Here  to   &main_text1=YOUR OWN MENU
&main_text1=Add Your Slogan 2 Here  to   &main_text2=YOUR OWN MENU
&main_text1=Add Your Slogan 3 Here  to   &main_text3=YOUR OWN MENU
 
3. Save them.

Replacing the flash images
Below images files are used for the flash movies in this template:

- image_intro_01.jpg
- image_intro_02.jpg
- image_intro_03.jpg

- image_main_01.jpg
- image_main_02.jpg
- image_main_03.jpg

1. In order to replace the image with your own, you simply need to create your own image in Photoshop and save the name of your image file as same as the original.

Note: If you save your image file using the "Save As" menu in Photoshop, somehow the images in the flash menu doesn't get replaced. What we have found out is if you compress the quality of image to 80% or greater, where the image size is 20k or above then the image is not displayed in the flash movie. So, please compress the quality of your images down to 70% using the "Save for Web" function in Photoshop.

2. Copy and paste your image files into the “images” folder.
3. Images in the flash banners will be automatically replaced with your own.
