GET STARTED Welcome to the world of FlashEasy Text Editing. STEP 1 (a) Within your text_editor directory, select, text_editor.swf (double click) to launch the FlashEasy Text Editor . (b) Wait a number of seconds for Text Editor to load. (c) Select 'Beginners Entry' to receive important instructions concerning location and files required.

HELP I completed 'Step1' and my FlashEasy Text Editor is a dud. It is looking for something. Take me to the Help Zone.

STEP 2 Exit (close) the text editor and impliment the instructions given from STEP 1 before relaunching the text editor to complete a successful edit.

HELP ZONE Your Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser supports flash movies. However, to play a desktop .swf standalone file requires a standalone player, FlashPla.exe (supplied). Most advanced users would already have FlashPla.exe installed upon trial or purchase of Macromedia Flash. Basic Users, 'don't panic'. We have supplied a copy of FlashPla.exe. within the text editor directory. Let's go through the steps. You selected (doubled clicked), text_editor.swf and received query window like display 1, below.

If so, you need to associate your text_editor.swf, with the standalone player, FlashPla.exe. To associate your text_editor.swf with FlashPla.exe, simply mouse drag, the text_editor.swf icon onto the FlashPla.exe icon, within your text_editor directory and let it go. See display 2.

Or select FlashPla.exe, (double click) to launch the player. Within the player, select 'File'_'Open', and browse to locate text_editor.swf. Either way, the FlashEasy Text Editor will launch. Once launched (couple of seconds), proceed with Step 1 (c), Getting Started (above). NOTES *** Once this initial association between .swf files and the player, FlashPla.exe, has been established, the FlashEasy Text Editor may adapt a new desktop icon next time you restart your computer. It will however, now have a permanent association with the standalone flash player, FlashPla.exe, located right beside itself. Happy text editing. ** The FlashEasy Feature Series of templates is now developed with browser editing not requiring the standalone player, FlashPla.exe. FlashEasy is looking forward to expanding the new concept of browser editing in future templates. Both concepts are different, but both still deliver successful outcomes.
