| | Sep-27th | | In this article, I'll quickly walk through the steps involved in downloading your Toufee flash movie as a standalone SWF flash file. Though the process is straightforward, let me show you the various ways you could download the flash movie as a SWF file. Let's begin right away.
SWF download process

| | Aug-16th | | | | Aug-16th | | I recently came across an issue where Toufee users who use Microsoft Outlook did not find the "Save Target As" option when they right-click the AVI video download link in the email that they receive after their flash movie is converted to video. The reason being that the "Save Target As" option is only available if you access your email via a web client (typically via your browser). The workaround however is this:
Save the following code as a HTML file. Open Notepad, paste the code and select File -> Save As option and enter "AVI_download_script.html" (with quotes)

| | Jul-19th | | We're sometimes hit with questions from our users (many of them flash designers and advanced flash users themselves) that lead us to think how customers are using Toufee Flash Movie Maker to create complex flash movies that we never though of. This post is the result of a recent query from a customer who designs flash websites with Toufee. This customer had a specific requirement where he wanted to delay the start of background music that is added to the flash movie. Though there is no option that does this straightaway, Toufee Flash Movie Maker with its hundreds of features certainly provides workarounds that can come in handy.

| | May-7th | | If you had used the Paused at Start option for your Toufee flash movies, and if you had tried to download this flash movie as SWF file to your PC and play it back, you'll notice that the "Paused at Start" option does not work anymore - the SWF file of your flash movie would just start to play. Why is it so? This is by design. The reason being when you download a flash movie as SWF, then most often then not you would want to have the SWF play automatically. That makes perfect sense. But there are instances where you might want the "Paused at Start" option to stay with your SWF flash movies as well. Here is how you do it:
1) We'll first create a copy of the original flash movie. We'll be working with this newly created copy (and not the original project...nope!). Follow the below KB article to create a copy of a Toufee flash movie project:

| | Apr-10th | | It's here finally...we've updated the Toufee flash movie maker so that you can set hyperlinks to open in the same window as the flash movie. The default behaviour of hyperlinks however will still remain - they open in a new browser window. However, you now have the option to change this to open hyperlinks in the same window.
Let me explain this with a test flash movie of mine (I know you're complaining, its the same old promobanner flash movie that you might have been used to by now:) ). So here is a simple flash movie with a hyperlink button on it (Learn More). As is the default behavior, Toufee will open this hyperlink in a new window.

| | Mar-25th | | One of the most powerful features of Toufee flash moviemaker application but relatively less used is the built-in text-to-speech option. With the help of Toufee's text-to-speech engine you can add voice narrations to your flash movies without any additional burden of needing to have a "audio" file for the voiceover. Consider having to add speech to your flash videos manually by recording your own - this not only requires additional software/hardware to record the voice but also requires lots of effort to synchronize the timing of the flash movie with that of background audio. Toufee flash moviemaker saves you all the hassles so you can concentrate in creating your flash movie. To have your text read out, simply double click the text object in your flash movie to bring up the Text Editor as shown below:

| | Mar-15th | | Timing is an advanced feature of Toufee flash movies and an important feature which could deliver amazing results if used effectively. Just to give a background, timing is the lifeline of a Toufee flash movie, i.e. every flash movie object has a timing value that has start and end points associated with it. All flash objects (i.e. your text, images, etc.) in a Toufee flash movie are relative to each other and any inconsistent timing value might affect other objects in your flash movie leading to deviation from your desired result. Before we go into the nitty-gritty of Toufee movie timing and timelines I would recommend that you please take a moment to go through my earlier article Working with Frame Timing which introduces the basic concepts of frame timing and how to use them.
What's in a timing?

| | Feb-18th | | In this brief article, we'll be looking at how to use HTTPS URLs in your Toufee flash movies. Though Toufee flash movies support HTTP and HTTPS URLs, some users run into issues when using hyperlinks in their flash videos. To overcome this problem, we'll be using a free service called TinyURL, that takes an URL as an input (generally, a lengthy URL, for example, something like http://www.toufee.com/moviemaker/how-to-show-flash-movie-objects-through-a-flash-video/) and converts this into a tiny URL of the form say http://tinyurl.com/dkzsbz (just as the name suggests!).
Before I run you through how to get this working, for those who do not know how to add hyperlinks, I would suggest that you please refer the following KB article that shows how to add hyperlinks when you create a flash video.

| | Feb-16th | | Today, we will look at a handy tip that might probably be useful when creating presentation-type flash movies, i.e. for flash videos primarly used for business presentations. We will look at how to show a flash movie object, for example, a text or an image (your company logo perhaps) throughout the entire playing time of the flash movie. Why would you want it that way? Assume you create a flash video about your product and you want your "product logo" or a product tagline to show through the movie. This is also useful when doing a business presentation where you want to have the topic or the "title" to show across all the slides.
While there is no direct way to place a flash movie object on all frames (yes, you can place the same object on all the frames but this increases the movie size), but there is a workaround. For example, if your movie plays for 220 seconds, then set the timing of the text object to 220 seconds and voila, your text will show the entire 220 seconds and that way, we create the effect as though the object was present in all the frames.
