She probably needs to know whether you’re shooting in 16:9 or 4:3. Also, the resolution of your final product (640×480, 1024×768, etc).

What version are you working with? Do you have Adobe Bridge? There are some templates available for you to use and manipulate. There are also some on the web you can download or look at for inspiration.

https://www.48hourprint.com/indesign-templates.html
https://indesigntemplate.com/free-business-card-template-v1/
Do some web searches and I’m sure there are a ton of other sites out there.

It sounds like the SWF is calling upon the FLV, but cannot locate it. When you place a FLV video file to indesign layout and export it as SWF, indesign creates a folder named [filename]_Resources. All your placed media files will be stored into that folder. When you play the exported SWF, indesign will load media files dynamically from that folder. So, that folder name convention is important for the SWF to locate the FLV.
I don’t know what version of Indesign you’re working with, or what other adobe software you have proficiency in, but I personally would export the Indesign layout as a XFL file, then open it in Adobe Flash. From there, add interactivity such as buttons, links, videos, transitions etc. Given the amount of time you spent adding the page curl, it may not be worth it at this point, or maybe it is.
Are you using Dreamweaver for putting files? If not, what is your method?

Assuming your browser has Flash Player Version 10.0.2 and you did not move any folders before uploading to the server (breaking links) I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
When you moved your work files to your root directory, did you keep the file structure the same?

Adobe CS5.5 vs. earlier versions:

https://help.wugnet.com/office2/Publisher-InDesignftopic-778568-days0-orderasc-16.htmlAs far as border art goes, I would suggest Adobe illustrator and create the border design in vector. That way, resizing the art to fit your pages or other content won’t degrade the quality of your work. I suppose Indesign has tools for creating custom borders, but I’m just used to doing it in illustrator since there are more tools and features to work with. Run some Google searches for Indesign custom borders and after clicking “search” choose “images” and there should be a gallery for you to view.

Hello Aden,
How are you importing the files? I follow this procedure:
1. ensure no text or any frame is selected before import. (I usually just click the working space outside of the pages)
2. File < Place
3. Choose image from folder < open
4. Your image should be attached to your cursor, ready for you to place on a page.Of course I’m using CS4, CS5 and have never used CS2. Hopefully this works out for you.

There are many ways of doing this. Are you trying to scale both arrows? I see two layers on the arrow (blue/grey), select the first layer, then ctrl+click the second layer. With both layers selected, Left+click and choose “group”. Then whenever you click on either arrow, it will select both layers and resizing will affect the whole group.

most jpegs will have the artboard when exporting from AI. Try exporting the image as a PNG and set the background to transparent.

Are you talking about converting an already created drawing into an 8 bit style drawing or making one from scratch?
