Adding a Firestarter Intro to a Visual Site Designer Website
This article explains how to insert a Flash introduction created with Flash Firestarter into a Webpage created with Visual Site Designer.
Note: These instructions differ slightly from the process of adding other Flash objects created with CoffeeCup software (Web Form Builder, Password Wizard, Web Video Player, etc.) because Flash Firestarter produces an .swf file instead of an .xml file. To learn how to add other Flash objects to your Visual Site Designer page, read this article.
1. Create a new main page in Visual Site Designer. This is where you will place the animation.
2. If you haven't already done so, open Flash Firestarter and create your Flash intro. Save the animation twice — once as an .swf and once as a .fire project. When you save, a window will appear listing the files you need to upload to your server and the HTML you need to paste on the page where you want the animation to appear.
3. Copy the HTML and then reopen the blank main page in Visual Site Designer.
4. Using the Add HTML tool, click the page and then paste the HTML for your animation in the Body HTML field.
5. Navigate to Settings > Add Files and browse your computer for the .swf file for with your intro. Click Add to add it to your Website.
That's it! You can now preview your intro using the Preview tool in the Toolbar.
