I'm new to lunarpages and have never done flash-templates before.  We purchased a flash-template-design with an admin panel so that it would be fairly easy.  Well....we've figured out all the steps and got the admin panel to work (I think), have now created a minimal site and am ready to load it up ....but I don't know what file to use for the index.html so that it will go to our url.  Please help if you can!  Thanks!  Help

Hmm, well with the flash template was there an index page included?  Could you let us know where you purchased the flash template design and the name of it, if it is a certain type of script or service?  Thanks!

Hi, Mitch!  Thank you for your response.  We purchased a  Flash template from the company that Lunarpages recommends.... www.flash-template.design.com.  Artistic Portfolio Template With Admin Interface , Product id: 2453

This is what it says about the template on the website:
Files: Completely dynamic flash files to upload to your server.
Software needed: None for the template. This flash template has a built in administrative interface that you can log into. In the admin section you can upload images, create image galleries, modify the text of the pages, upload and manage the MP3s that play on your site, and set the email address for the form.

We were able to get the admin page with the template to work and upload a few pictures and a short sound file, but we are unable to figure out how to actually get the page to show on our URL.  I am a complete novice with this so we need a step by step instruction manual...but I'm unable to find that anywhere! Sad  Thanks so much for your help!

Maybe I can help. I've never used flash-template-design.com before, but if you give me just a list of the files that you received from them, I'll tell you what to upload  Yep

You may want to move these into your public_html folder if you want them to show up under your domain name.  Right now, from what I can see they should show up under yourdomain.com/Website/.

What Mitch said is absolutely true, but in addition, the index.html you have is completely empty (0 k). I just went to the template site and checked what code they use. Here's what you need to do:

1. Get SWFObject. The download URL is: http://swfobject.googlecode.com/files/swfobject_2_1.zip
2. Unzip the swfobject_2_1.zip that you downloaded.
3. Upload swfobject.js and expressInstall.swf to the same folder where your flash.swf is.
4. Edit your index.html that is in the same folder as your flash.swf. This code was taken from the SWFObject template code. This is what your index.html should look like:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>SWFObject 2 static publishing example page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject("myId", "8.0.0", "expressInstall.swf");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<object id="myId" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf" />
        <!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
<!--<![endif]-->
<div>
<h1>Alternative content</h1>
<p><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></p>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
</div>
</body>
</html>

That should get it to work. If it doesn't, post back here, and I'll try to sort out what went wrong.
