How to update content in Artin2ition Components-Based series Templates.

1. General Settings
All general setting like site title, slogan logo, background image/animation or sound track can be managed by
means of editing /data/config.xml file
To change the title of the website find this line
<title><![CDATA[<font face="PF Handbook Pro" size="50" color="#ffffff" letterspacing="-1" >GLOBEX</font><font face="PF Handbook Pro Thin" size="50" color="#dcdbde" letterspacing="-3"> CO. </font>]]></title>
It sets the font, size and the color of company name “GLOBEX CO”
To change the slogan you should find “slogan” tag and edit it’s content
<slogan><![CDATA[PROTECTING YOUR INTERESTS]]></slogan>
To modify the logo simply copy png image of your logo into /images folder and specify the path to the image. To disable the logo you set the logo enabled parameter to “0″
<logo enable=”1″  path=”images/logo.png”/> Please notice that it’s imporatnt to save logo image in png or gif format to preserve the transparacy.
Background and music tags specify the path to background image and the sound track. It is very important to remember that you can use swf animation as a background of your website. This makes the site much more eyecatching. We recommend to use animated logo or company name as a background.
To change the copyright in the footer of the website you should edit “year” tag
<year><![CDATA[ɠCOPYRIGHT 2010 GLOBEX CO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]]></year>

2. Menu Structure
Menu_items.xml file defines the structure of your menu Lets check this example
<item caption=”COMPANY” _img=”images/menu_Img1.png”  > this line creates drop down menu item with 3 sub menus and specifies the path to the images assigned to this menu.
<item caption=”CONTENT PAGE 1″  link=”content/flash.swf” path_data =”content/content1.xml” path_images =”content/” /> – creates 1st menu item called “content page 1″ and tells to load /content/flash.swf component and take texts and settings from file /content/content1.xml
<item caption=”CONTENT PAGE 2″  link=”content/flash.swf” path_data =”content/content2.xml” path_images =”content/” />
<item caption=”CONTENT PAGE 3″  link=”content/flash.swf” path_data =”content/content3.xml” path_images =”content/” />
</item> – end of drop down menu
In general you can create as many menu items as you need, their number is onli limited with the design and commen sence.
3. Contact forms
To get the feed back from your visitors you should adjust the contact form. Your server must support PHP and mail(); function must be enabled. Open email.php file and change the dummy email address to your own which exists. After that you should open contact.xml file and insert the text displayed at the contact form page, usually it’s the address of your office and phone numbers.
4. Other Components
Other components are pretty easy to edit, every component has .xml file with the setting that usually defines texts and paths to the images displayed at the page.

History
Component Based series of templates initially were created to organize multiple corporate flash presentation in one document or website.
Later we added some features and turned them into full functional websites which have some pretty serious advantages. Using our templates you can
create 2 level menu structure, add unlimited number of pages based on our components and flash files created by 3rd parties users. Integration of
ecommerce flash shopping cart component allows to start your online business in 10 minutes. And what is the most important so far is that you are
not supposed to be experienced flash user to create your own website and update content. Though if you need to make some serious changes like
color scheme editing or fonts substitution you will have to get a copy of Adobe Flash  CS3 or higher and spend some time reading Flash manuals.
