To make sure that the ecards submitted at the 123Greetings Studio are at par with our system we suggest you to follow these pointers.
 
 
 
== Publishing your ecard ==
 
It is recommended that you publish your ecards in flash version 8 or lower versions.
 
 
 
== ActionScript Usage ==
 
We recommend you to use Action Script 2.0 in your cards. Our system currently does not support ActionScript 3.0 and hence usage of ActionScript 3.0 is not recommended.
 
 
 
== Play and Replay button ==
 
 
 
Use a '''Play''' button at the beginning and a '''Replay''' button at the end of your card.
 
 
 
====Play button ====
 
 
 
Use '''stop();''' ActionScript on first frame.
 
 
 
Make a Play button in the first frame and use the following ActionScript on the Play button
 
 
 
  '''on(release){'''
 
    '''play();'''
 
  '''}'''
 
 
 
====Replay Button ====
 
 
 
Use '''stop();''' ActionScript on last frame.
 
 
 
Make a Replay button at the end of your card and use the following ActionScript on the Replay button
 
 
 
  '''on(release){'''
 
    '''gotoAndPlay(2);''' // where 2 is the frame number succeeding the first frame having the Play button
 
  '''}'''
 
 
 
''If you don't provide a Play and Replay button accompanied by a '''stop();''' ActionScript, your card will keep on playing in a loop.''
 
 
 
== Music ==
 
 
 
Assuming that Play button is on the first frame, start the music from the second frame.
 
 
 
== Frame Rate ==
 
 
 
Make sure that you are using frame rate of 12 for cards having music embedded on the time line.
 
 
 
== Sound Variable ==
 
 
 
If your card has sound variable with '''target'''
 
 
 
Use:
 
 
 
  '''var mySound:Sound = new Sound(this)'''
 
 
 
Don't Use:
 
 
 
  '''var mySound:Sound = new Sound()'''
 
 
 
== _parent and _root ==
 
 
 
In case you are using parent - child relationship use '''_parent''' and '''_root''' instead of '''_level0'''
 
 
 
== Embedding a hyperlink ==
 
You can embed a hyperlink in your card. But the link should always open in a new page. In order to do this click on option '''Target''' inside flash and select '''_blank''' from the drop down.
