I have been scouring this forum and the HELP/FAQ's from the template site and I can't figure out if HTML Editor will help me with this template... http://templates.entheosweb.com/templat … /31582.asp

Thoughts?

I'm sure it could help you in some way but I would rethink the flash based website. Flash means that thousands, if not millions,of users with apple devices won't be able to see you site.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

If you can code HTML then you can use the HTML Editor for pretty much any site. It has the setups for PHP, JavaScript and pretty much anything else you'd need to use in your coding. CSS systems are built into the program and it's all set for HTML5 and CSS3.

Give the trial version a whirl and check it out.

Other than that, I also second what Eric said, Flash is going to be a problem for all the Mobile users that might happen onto your site or want to view it. Most will not be capable of seeing any of your flash on your site.

Also, just a pet peeve of mine, add a way to turn off the music on your site lol, or if there is, make it easier to find as I didn't see one.

Good luck whichever way you decide to go :)

Flash 8 templates are created in Flash 8 and you need Flash 8 or higher to edit and customize them.

The html only displays the swf file in the browser. You would need Flash 8 or higher to edit the fla file to edit the Flash.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!
