Creating a New Project
Creating a Flash Website using the A4DeskPro Flash Website Builder
basically involves creating a project. You can create as many projects
as you wish. Each new website will require creating a new project. In
this example we will provide you with instructions to create a basic website.
We will then explain further how to tweak and modify other attributes
of the website in subsequent topics.
To create a new project
From the File
menu click New. (Speedkey: Ctrl + N)
- or-
Click the New
button from the Toolbar.
The Create New A4DeskPro Site
dialog opens where you can select your new Flash template for your website.

Note:
By default
the templates of Gallery 1 are displayed as thumbnails. In all there are
5 galleries. You can jump to a particular gallery by choosing the numbers
1 to 5 from the Jump to Gallery
Spin box and then clicking the Go
button. Use the vertical scroll bar in the center of
the dialog to browse through the various templates. Once you click on
a template on the left it can be previewed in the window on the right.
-
Select a template for your website in the gallery
and click Open.
The selected template is instantly inserted into
the Preview panel.

Note:
To use
an A4DeskPro template you will have to register it. See the Registration topic for more details.
-
You can now build the template to suit your
requirements
for your website by using the Menus/Design/HTML/Edit Item panel and the
Main Information/Menu Header/Text panels. For modifying the main information
of your website template see the Creating
and Editing Main Information topic.
-
To save the project select Save
As (Save if the project
has already been saved) from the File
menu or click the Save button on the Toolbar.
-
If you are saving the project for the first time,
the Windows Save As dialog opens
where you can save the project file. Otherwise, clicking the Save
from the File menu or the Save button on the Toolbar
saves the file without prompting for file name.
Note:
The default
filename extension of the project file is *.a4p
and it is stored in the Projects
folder by default.

from the File menu or click the
Close button from
the Toolbar. (Speedkey - Ctrl+W) If changes to a project file
