About Artisteer Flash

Hi,

I bought Artisteer New Standart Version (in mojoportal page using the link) and I created two designs. First design successful No problems and worked, second design half-successful :))

For Second design problem;

I've done I added a second in the title Flash. I copied the necessary files, everything worked but ;

- the flash did not work.

- shifted to the left of the information and statistics on page

- Some pages in the "Rate this Content" does not work....

What should I do ?

Best,

Volkan PEKGOZEGU

Hi Volkan,

I have not tried to use Flash in Artisteer. If you can send me a .zip of the html template exported from Artisteer, I will take a look and see if I can figure it out. joe dot audette at g mail dotcom

Best,

Joe

ps Many thanks for the beers!

Re: About Artisteer Flash

Hi Volkan,

Thanks for sending me your Artisteer design so I could figure out the issue. I have sent the skin back to you with the flash working. The only issue is that I had to hard code the url paths to the Flash files in your layout.master. For the next release of mojoPortal, I have added a property on the master page for SkinBaseUrl so it can be used without hard coding. I've uploaded a new build of mojoPortal on demo.mojoportal.com, and a new skin that uses Flash artisteer-24flashclouds. I created this design today using Artisteer. Previously I had never tried using the Flash features in Artisteer.

So in the next version of mojoPortal, it will be possible to set the url paths for flash like this example that comes from my design artisteer-24flashclouds:

<div id="art-flash-container">
   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="890" height="250" id="art-flash-object">
   <param name="movie" value="<%= SkinBaseUrl %>container.swf" />
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <param name="scale" value="default" />
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
   <param name="flashvars" value="color1=0xFFFFFF&alpha1=.70&framerate1=24&clip=<%= SkinBaseUrl %>images/flash.swf&radius=20&clipx=-55&clipy=0&initalclipw=900&initalcliph=225&clipw=1000&cliph=250&width=890&height=250&textblock_width=0&textblock_align=no" />
   <param name="swfliveconnect" value="true" />
   
   <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="<%= SkinBaseUrl %>container.swf" width="890" height="250">
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <param name="scale" value="default" />
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
   <param name="flashvars" value="color1=0xFFFFFF&alpha1=.70&framerate1=24&clip=<%= SkinBaseUrl %>images/flash.swf&radius=20&clipx=-55&clipy=0&initalclipw=900&initalcliph=225&clipw=1000&cliph=250&width=890&height=250&textblock_width=0&textblock_align=no" />
   <param name="swfliveconnect" value="true" />
   
   <div class="art-flash-alt"><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></div>
   
   </object>
   
   </object>
   </div>

Note the use of <%= SkinBaseUrl %> to set the base url path. This will be possible in the next release of mojoPortal.

For the current release you would have to use /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins/[skinname]/ hard coded instead of <%= SkinBaseUrl %>

Best,

Joe

hi joe,

Awesome work, but of course you get such compliments all the time. Your passion reflects through the entire .net solution.

Was wondering if you could upload artisteer-24flashclouds somewhere, as its not included in the latest build. I am having trouble with flash.

Next, a dumb question, but can you not change font types and sizes through the WYSIWYG editors?

thanks

moosa.

Re: About Artisteer Flash

Hi,

It is currently available from the repository but it depends on the latest code because I added a new property in the code for the master page to assist with resolving the location of the flash files and this skin uses the new property so it would not work with the current release packages.

I will be making a new release tomorrow or Friday to include this new skin.

To change fonts in the wysiwyg, you would have to enable it with a custom configuration for the editor(s), but as discussed in the FAQ, I recommend don't do that because you end up with hard codes styles in your content and this means it is no longer really skinnable, when you change the skin the fonts will not change, so it defeats the purpose of skinning to allow users to hard code fonts and colors in the content.

Best,

Joe

Re: About Artisteer Flash

Hi,

Make sure the ScriptLoader control in your layout.master has IncludeSwfObject="true"

<portal:ScriptLoader ID="ScriptLoader1" runat="server" IncludeSwfObject="true" />

Hope it helps,

Joe
