Some basic HTML
Although it is not neccessary to use HTML in the text file for your Flash template, you might want to if you want to include hyperlinks on your pages, or bold your text, or change the font style, size or color. Please note that HTML is only allowed in the main text area of each page, and not for the company name, slogan or buttons. HTML can be entered right onto the template text file in a text editor. (do not use an HTML editor to edit the text file).
Adding hyperlinks
To add a hyperlink to either another page on your site or to another website, you would add the following HTML code:
<A href="somepage.html">Click here</A> to go to another page on my site.
or
<A href="http://www.somewebsite.com">Click here</A> to go to another site.
where "somepage.html" or "http://www.somewebsite.com" would be replaced with either the page name you are linking to or the web address of the site you are linking to. Notice "Click here" is surrounded by the HTML A href tags. This is the text that will be clickable.
To have the hyperlink open a new window, add target="_blank" to your html, like this example:
<A href="http://www.somewebsite.com" target="_blank">Click here</A> to go to another site.
To add an email hyperlink, you would enter code similar to the above, but like this:
<A href="mailto:youremail@yoursite.com">Click here</A> to email me.
Where youremail@yoursite.com would be replaced with whatever email address you want it to go to.
Formatting text
To bold your text, you would surround the text you want bolded with the appropriate html tags like the following:
This is <B>bold</B>.
The above would display like this:
This is bold.
You would do a similar thing to underline your text:
This is <U>underlined</U>.
To change your font style, size or color, you would use the following format:
<FONT color="#FF0000" size="16" face="Times">This is some big red text.</FONT>
The above would display like this:
This is some big red text.
You can use all or just one of the attributes in your font tag. You can use any combination of font, bold or underline tags as well. For example, to make something like this:
Some of this text is bold and red.
You would enter the following HTML:
Some of this text is <B><FONT color="#FF0000">bold and red</FONT></B>.
Bullet Lists
You can add bullet lists to your pages. Here is the example HTML code:
<ul>
<li>This is the first bullet.</li>
<li>This is the second one.</li>
</ul>
This will create a bullet list which looks something like this:
- This is the first bullet.
- This is the second one.
You'll see that the entire list is surrounded by <ul> </ul> tags, and each separate bullet point text is surrounded by <li> </li> tags.
And finally, this HTML tag will move text to the next line, as if you hit the "Enter" or "Return" key:
<br>
