Animated clix2 theme help - clixhere!

entutre · #1 (**permalink**) 08-21-2007, 03:29 PM

Hi!
I am trying to make a theme for my clix 2 with animated backgrounds for different days of the week.

The problem is that I'm quite new to flash and searching the internet hasn't turned up anything about animated backgrounds. (I now know how to make still backgrounds in a theme though).

So, I was wondering if anyone would be so nice as to upload or direct me to the .fla file for an animated background theme. Or maybe explain what file format I should use for the animation and such. I have the basic clix theme .fla file and am working from that at the moment.

It would be great if anyone decided to help me

.

Here are two .fla's that may help.

Thanks, but these are decompiled files and not originals

.
I was looking for original files beacuse in the decompiled version you can't really see how the files were built because it ends up not categorised.
I was looking for files more like the basc clix theme that are well organised and much easier to understand

By the original files what do you mean? (swf, fla or something else?)

I'm talking about the .fla files.
If you open the basic clix-theme file that's on the same thread you showed me in macromedia flash 8 you can see that everything is neatly arranged in folders, that's an original .fla. The files you directed me to are lots of files jumbled together (have been unscrambled by a program after they became .swf files) and don't give me any help in understanding how the themes work ^^;

Hi, I'm not trying to over shadow Entutre's questions, but I just had a couple of my own.

I just ordered my Clix 2 from iriver and it isn't coming for a couple days, so to control my eagerness, I was trying to decide which themes I wanted to use with it. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to preview them. I was able to download and unzip them, but when I try to open them in Macromedia Flash Pro 8, the theme continually flashes. Please Help!

I haven't found a way to truly preview them, I open them in IE and watch them and that gives me a good enough idea.

Sorry, the thread that I linked is probably the best chance you have of finding something.
