Hi there, I am updating a flash website template for someone and have added most of the content.
I have uploaded it here: http://www.lucky-magpies.co.uk/nico/

If you go to 'homepage' and click on of the 'Read More...' links, a pop up box appears with some dummy text. I know this sounds silly, but I have no idea how to edit this content!! If I look at the actions on the 'Read More' link I find a load event:

onClipEvent (load) {
i = "Public relations";
}


Actionscript isnt my strongest skill at all, but I realise it is loading the pop-up box from somewhere, but I don't have a clue where to look, there are alot of layers and keyframes but i cant seem to find it. Just wondered if anyone could tell me off the top of there head where to look? if not i can pm the .fla file and would be really, really grateful for any advice.

Well it depends how the designers created it, theres 3 common ways they could have done it,
by actionscript so the text is actually inside the actionscript, by actionscript so it reads a file outside of the actionscript, or in animation so that the texts put straight onto a static text box (most unlikely, as the popup is a repeated object)

So, you should know your self whether there is files with the flash with text in or not, if theres no other files, then its obviously going to be inside the actionscript somewhere, so check every actions frame on there, press f9 and actions panel should come up, and on the left side it should show you all the action scripts on there, as you can see the header says Welcome on the popup box, so if the actionscript is long, just hit ctrl & f to find the text saying Welcome in each actionscript

I see, that's a really good start for me, thanks. There is definately no other flash files so will go through checking actionscript. Thankyou for you help
