Yes, most design templates do support using your own images with Flash4D.

If you're using images created by someone other than you or that has a person's face in the image, remember to ask permission to use the image. Best be on the good side of the image copyright holder.

With the current version of Flash4D that is available for sale, Flash4D Version 4, templates are included which can be edited in Flash4D so you can create customized designs from the templates.

Flash4D V.4 Professional Edition is an expansion of Flash4D V.4 Home Edition, it includes all the features of Flash4D Home Edition and additions such as the .FLA editing files to all Flash Intro styles, so you can edit them in Flash beyond the capabilities of Flash4D mixing styles to form your own unique ideas.

Please note:
The included Flash4D music is licensed out by Q-Music.co.uk which allows the music to be used in one project for your clients free of charge. Otherwise, you can follow the instructions in Flash4D for purchasing the music from www.q-music.co.uk you would like to use. (Look on the right side after building an intro, you'll see a box with information pertaining to this.)

IntroWizard software items work independently from Macromedia Flash creating software, and do not require the Macromedia Flash creating software to work.

So no, there is no need to have Macromedia Flash creating software on your computer, although having the environment is a benefit when working with Flash4D Professional Edition which contains the .FLA editing files to the intro styles.

Flash Intro Website Trouble / Problems Help


************************


If you already have a website, and a method of putting files on your website, go to your Desktop and look for a folder that should be called something like \'flashintrofolder\'. This folder will contain your intro files (animation, music, webpage, and text files should be in there.) Flash4D creates all the files and html for you, so all you need to do is put the files in the \'flashintrofolder\' onto your website and view your intro playing automatically. Flash4D creates the html webpage *index.html* which you should put onto your website and use it as your first file if you wanted. This is the webpage that plays your intro. If you linked your Skip Intro button (aka your Enter Go To URL) to your website\'s first page:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/first_text_page.html



Then simply put all the intro files onto your website and access your intro webpage (the index.html one) at:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.html



You can also simply put the whole flashintrofolder onto your website, and see your intro at:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/flashintrofolder/index.html





If your website doesn\'t have a method of putting the files onto your website, or you use a different method such as uploading, ftp, or a form on a webpage to send your files to your website, simply use the same method you use for your website and putting your files onto your website for the intro files that are all in the folder on your desktop.


If you have any troubles with the intro on your website, please run through the following problem solvers:


*****************


Flash Intro Trouble Problem Solvers:


Please review these if you have any troubles with getting your intro onto your website.


*****************


1.) Did you put all the intro files onto your website in the *same* folder on your website? Try accessing every file to make sure it is where it should be. All intro files should be in the same folder.



2.) Does your Host support Flash or text files? If you access the (.swf) files on your website (e.g. http://www.yourwebsite.com/flashintrofile.swf )and you can view them, then your host does support Flash.



3.) If your intro comes up blank on the intro webpage, then it is possible that your intro file is not in the same folder as the intro webpage. Review the process above if this is so



4.) If your intro doesn\'t fully load, the text file or the music file may not be in the same folder, or accessible by the intro (.swf) file or even the webpage. Make sure all your files are in the same folder.



5.) Follow and read Problem Solver #1 again, it is the most important solution and can possibly solve the majority of all Flash intro related issues.



6.) Enjoy your new Flash Intro! Happy Flashing! :)

Extra lines can't be added to the intro, but if you would like to not have a text line simply don't put any text in the lines you don't want and no text will show in that part of the intro. For just an idea, this can help if you're looking to space text out over the design.

The advertisement seen in intros created with the trial edition of Flash4D can be removed by either purchasing and building the intro with the full version of Flash4D or purchasing the individual intro's "de-adverting" in which the intro file without the ad will be emailed to you. If you would like to purchase Flash4D, please visit this webpage to select a payment gateway, or if you would like an individual intro, that can be purchased starting from this link. Please contact IntroWizard with the name of the individual intro you would like after your purchase.

As for any other products featured by IntroWizard. There is another software called FlaPops, in addition to Flash4D (http://www.introwizard.com/flash4d/), which specializes in creating shorter movies as compared to Flash4D. You can view more information about FlaPops from this link:
http://www.introwizard.com/flapops/
A free trial is also available if you would like to test the software first.

Flash4D creates your designs in the Flash format, which is readable by the latest player, Flash 7.0 (also known as MX 2004).

I would suggest Flash4D to create Flash intros or movies for your website. Flash4D creates the Flash and also for intros creates an index.html webpage, so all you have to do to add the Flash intro to your website is rename your current index.html to main.html and then add your intro files to your website.

You can also create Flash movies with Flash4D which you can add to any of your current webpages, such as to show a tour on your website or display animated Flash messages in certain areas of your website.

Flash4D helps you create Flash quickly by selecting a design and then editing it. The software also includes an extra set of designs which can be customized with even small details like text and image size or angles.

After you create your intro, and you would like to put it on your website, CD presentation, or even your emails, you will have to get the intro or presentation files there. This is something that is easy to do, first, please reference to our Guides & Tutorial section here for a guide on what to do next:
http://support.introwizard.com/?a=tutorials

To get your intro onto your website it would be suggested you upload all the files to the same folder or location on your website. If you already have a method of putting files onto your website, go ahead and use that method for putting your intro files onto your website. This method could be an upload form, a ftp program, or some other method. To send it as an email attachment, you can zip up all the files in the folder created on your desktop and email the zipped folder.

Thanks for contacting me with your question. The purchased version of the intro maker is available for commercial use in that intros can be made with it and sold, given away, or used for personal use. There are no restrictions applied to personal use or commercial use of the designs as long as they don't include any music provided in Flash4D or any copyrighted images. The reason being is that Q-Music.co.uk, the provider of the included Flash4D v4 Music, has provided free usage of the music to one project for your company and one client project. Addressing using the designs for yourself, I'd suggest keeping it to one project with the music. Additional licenses for using the music beyond this limit can be purchased for each individual client or for yourself for as little as $19 at www.Q-Music.co.uk.

Yes indeed, you can use a Flash4D intro to promote your services. You can use Flash4D intros for other uses on your website also. With some time and creativity, you can create Flash movies within your webpages too. If you haven't already downloaded a trial of Flash4D, feel free to do so from this link:
http://www.introwizard.com/trial/flash4d-trial.exe

If you purchased Flash4D version 1, version 2, or version 3, you may be eligible for a free upgrade to Flash4D v4. Please try the Customer tool for checking for upgrades. It is at: http://www.introwizard.com/customers/check-upgrades.php

IntroWizard software keeps things simple for creating. With the Flash4D v4.4 Extended Design Program that comes with Flash4D software you can only add a webpage link button to the design. www.introwizard.com/flash4d/

And with IntroWizard Flash Website Builder you can specify what webpage the website buttons can go to. www.introwizard.com/flash-website-builder/

With IntroWizard's other software like FlaPops you can not add buttons to the templates.www.introwizard.com/flapops/

With CreationWeb, an html website builder you can create pages for your website but cannot link them to other webpages. www.introwizard.com/creationweb/

If you wish you can try this to create a Flash intro:

When you first load up Flash4D it will ask what you would like to create.
Select the Flash intro at the top and then try creating a design. When you
click the blue Preview button you should have a webpage pop-up afterwards
showing a preview of the design.

After creating your design, you can go to your desktop and open the folder
starting with the word flash (e.g. flash-intro or flash-cd-presentation) and
then open the index.html if you created a Flash intro, or presentation.exe
if you instead created a cd presentation.

If you are able to play your intro, try directing it to go to the full url such as this example full url: http://www.YourWebsite.com/page2.html

This is for the Page to Show After the Design fill-in blank in the Customization window of Flash4D.



If the intro sticks at the loading screen and doesn't play, make sure all the files (the intro.swf, the music file (.swf too) are both together in the same folder). This is because the intro.swf relies upon the music file and won't play until it's loaded too.

A Flash introduction is simply a movie that shows text and pictures on it. The Flash4D software IntroWizard creates features a number of design templates that you can select from which each contain some set number of text lines and images that you can replace with your own text and images.

The software also allows you to select from an inventory of music to use. Simply said, Flash4D is an easy way you can create an introduction or an animated movie in less than 10 minutes since the designs have already been created.

Consider trying a free 15-day trial of the software. You can get the trial at www.introwizard.com/downloads/flash4d.php

Or you can purchase Flash4D online:
Home Edition: http://www.introwizard.com/store/flash4d.php
Professional Edition: http://www.introwizard.com/store/flash4dpro.php

What's the difference? See: http://www.introwizard.com/products/compare_chart.php

A guess is that this is occuring because the server is not letting the Flash file "contact" or get the music file. It may also be the music swf file wasn't put in the same location as the intro swf file on the server.

One thing to check for is to see if the intro plays or if it just stays stuck loading. If it stays stuck at the loading point where it flashes the word loading at the top of the Flash means it can't access the music file.

If you can't get it to work at all, please Contact IntroWizard with a link to view your Flash intro online.

The templates have a
limited amount of messages that can be shown. For the Flash4D and FlaPops
products, this depends on which template is selected (most templates have 5 messages along with a loading message and an additional welcome message). For the Flash Website
Builder, up to 13 sections in your website can be added.

The Flash4D software product can create Flash introductions and movies using the included design templates and your images and text.

You can see more about Flash4D online at: www.introwizard.com/flash4d/ or download a free trial to test it out yourself at www.introwizard.com/downloads/flash4d.php

You can view all the themes available with the software simply by downloading the free 15-day trial of Flash4D which is available at:
www.introwizard.com/downloads/flash4d.php
By using the trial you'll see all the designs included and know what it feels like to own the software. Should you like any designs and want to purchase it, feel free to do so, otherwise you can easily remove the trial should you not like it.

By the way, if you're interested in purchasing Flash4D you may do so online for as little as $49 for Home Edition. You can even save a bit by starting your purchase from the trial.

The Flash also repeats itself when you click the enter button because the link that is set for the enter button to go to is the same page the Flash is on, so what it does is it will go to the same page and repeat the Flash. What you should do is set the Enter Button link to be: http://www.YourWebsite.com/TheNextOrMainPage.html so that it goes to that when the Enter button is clicked. This is called the page to go to after the enter button is clicked in the Flash4D program.

Flash4D does create a Skip Introduction link so that people can skip the design if they would like.

When using Flash4D, when you click the build intro button the intro will be saved to your desktop in a folder called something similar to "flash_design_folder" or "flash-intro-folder." This should be located on your desktop and has the intro.swf file in there and the index.html webpage you can open to view your intro.

Flash4D just automatically opens this index.html webpage so that you can see your intro after it has been built and saved onto your desktop in the new folder it was created in.
