The
flash header includes a replaceable
themed object, as well as the 4 replaceable flash
images. You can change this themed object yourself. You
would need a replacement image. The image would need to
be 'cutout' from any colored background, and also reside
on a transparent background.
The themed object is
saved in a SWF format, which helps to keep the
transparency of the backtground in tact. Transparent GIF
of TIF images do not have a very good transparency for
web pages, nor can they be loaded into a flash movie.
To create a replacement image, follow the video
tutorial:
- The themed image is loaded from the 'flash/themed-object/'
folder
- create a new transparent image
with the following dimensions:
- 225 pixels wide
- 225pixels high
- MAKE SURE the image is on a
transparent background, and the object is 'CUT OUT'
or 'MASKED' for transparency
- name the transparent image:
themed-object2
- SAVE your new 'themed-object2' as
a SWF (save or export from your graphic editor,
Swish or Flash program)
- SAVE the 'themed-object2.swf'
file to the:
- flash/themed-object/ folder to
replace the existing file
- We've
included an editable 'themed-object2.png' file
(editable in Macromedia Fireworks) but you can also
use this file to help correctly size the canvas for
your replacement image using your favorite graphic
editor
