I bought a premade flash template, however as of now it is created in non-flash
format.  I would love to have my top piece as the flash that it was meant to
be.  My site is currently http://www.georgiavideoproductions.com and the way
that it should look is located here at
http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/12176.html I hear people
saying bad things about template monster.com, but there are a lot of site
selling this same template, but I just ended up buying it from there.
My problem is how do you edit the flash part of it...I downloaded a free trial
of dreamweaver as well as macromedia flash 8.  I have folders that I got when I
purchased the template, but I am lost as to how I start actually editing this
top half with my own company name on it and my own navigation key names.  I am
new to flash but would like to try to do it myself, but now sure how you begin
this.  Thanks for any help.

Hopefully you will find a ".fla" file somewhere in your folders (supposedly in
a folder named Flash or something similar) Thats the file you are going to open
in Flash to be able to edit. When you are satisfied with editing the file to
your liking in Flash you should go to File>Publish (or Publish settings to be
more precise of what and where you want to output your file). Now open your
filebrowser and locate the published files there should be one called .swf and
one called .html. Upload both these files to your webhost then point to the
html file as your index file. And it should be working.
If you get trouble please post the name of all your folders and files that you
got from templatemonster.
And btw great looking template, Im really fond of the design of many of thoose
templates and I usually go there to get inspiration. :)
Good luck with your website

Thanks for the reply (it posted twice above) I actually figured out how to do
it late last night on my own.  I forgot about the zipped .psd folder and so I
unzipped it and brought the files up in Macromedia.  I edited the whole piece
at the top.  There is a defect in 2 of the navigation buttons (the first 2) I
went back to the template monster site to make sure it was nothing I did and
the original pre-made one is doing the same thing.  If you go back to the link
I posted in the first post above.  Hover your mouse over the first 2
navigations button and you will notice that the first 2 swing over way farther
to the right than all of the rest (I notice things like that) so I was trying
to find a way to fix that.
Secondly, once I get it finished, now I gotta find the way of getting it onto
my site and linking those navigation buttons to my pages!  Any idea on that?  I
am assuming it must be done in a program like Frontpage or someting?  Thanks
