It's newly released so I don't know if it is bug proof. I was trying to edit something as simple as the title and trying to export a new swf, but I get the following errors:
**Error** flashmo 171 nature, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 2: 1120: Access of undefined property page. flashmo_photo1.gotoAndStop( page );
**Error** flashmo 171 nature, Layer 'actions', Frame 1, Line 3: 1120: Access of undefined property page. flashmo_contents.gotoAndStop( page );
It sounds like your frame titles have been changed/dont' exist. Did you have to convert the FLA to open it in your Flash? Are you sure you are editing the original file and that it was programmed in the same Flash Version? gotoAndStop is not a complicated function, so it just must not be able to find 'flashmo_photo1' or 'page'
The file I used is the one that is set to automatically open in Adobe Flash Editor (don't know file extension at this moment... on my work computer). All I did was edit the title in the header and save the file and export a new image file.
According to your link the template is an Actionscript 3 file, my guess is that you have saved it as Actionscript 2. Check what options you have when you 'save as'.
I just went to the keyframe on frame 1 of the timeline on the header layer, double clicked on the text, edited it, saved it and went 'test movie'. No errors, no problems.
The only difference would occur if the SWF reads a relative file (ie. xml) but we chatted, and I don't think that is the case. Everything seems to be run in the SWF.
OK... so I downlaod a new copy of theme and edited the title in the flash file... how do I correctly save it. Please give me exact instructions. Like I said... I am a Flash noob.
1. Open the fla file in Flash. 2. Make sure you are on frame 1 on the timeline. 3. Unlock the header layer and click on the keyframe. 4. Double click on the title text and change it to whatever you want. 5. Click anywhere else on the stage to deselect the text. 6. On the toolbar go to File -> Save. 7. Again on the toolbar go to Control -> Test Movie.
The SWF will run with your changes and that's it. Your done. :D
I recently found an amazing free flash template at http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_171_nature

Any idea on how I can fix this?
I appreciate any help,

Hope that helps.

What do I need to do?
Also check when you "export" it. Check the export properties to make sure your using the latest ActionScript and Flash version.
Also, did you ever have to touch the timeline while editing the header? If not... how did you do it?
Why on earth would you want to do that?
By testing in Flash the SWF gets updated, you don't need to do anything else.
Testing in Flash should be fine.
thanks

Thank you so much for teaching me something very valuable!
