Dynamic Flash Websites
Many clients need to update and make content changes in their flash site. We can provide the training and any software needed to manage your site. We have several dynamic flash templates available or can create your own custom design.
What is dynamic flash content? Dynamic Flash Text and image (s) objects throughout the site can be dynamically driven from an external text file (.txt) so that updates can be made without knowing flash or own flash software.
Content, images and text within the site are coded during development to access the text file (s) and load what we call variables. Many of our designs such as restaurant sites and photography sites utilize dynamic text and images for ease of editing by the client and it is really quite simple. Variables are surrounded by the ampersand symbol.
Here is a simple example of the home page text and image that will be displayed.
&homepagetext= This is the text that will appear on the home page. &
&homepageimage= hompage.jpg &
Here is an example of the file that drives our dynamic photo galleries. Note: Not all of our flash galleries use the download option, image date or image description, we let our clients choose the options they desire.
// image # 1 starts here...
&image1= christina.jpg &
&imagednload1= YES &
&imagetitle1= Christina &
&imagedate1= 10/10/2005 &
&imagetext1= First image text.....This is the image description for the first image in this gallery. &
// image # 2 starts here...
&image2= ali.jpg &
&imagednload2= YES &
&imagetitle2= A Great Man &
&imagedate2= 6/15/2005 &
&imagetext2= Second image text.....This is the image description for the first image in this gallery &
All coding is in the flash file itself. By editing the red text in your file you can change the image , whether the image is available for download , the image title , the date the image was taken, and the image text description. Our galleries are coded to automatically display scrollers when needed, display the image in the most optimal way based upon its largest dimension, and count and place the thumbnail images etc. View samples of photography web sites with dynamic flash photo galleries and slideshow viewer here.
Just make your changes and upload the text file to the server and overwrite the existing file. Of course you also have to upload any new images that will be displayed.
If you are in need of a dynamic flash web site or gallery give us a call or contact us online.
