Creator's Notes & Tips:

Graphics!!!

I have used small sized graphics for the excellently LOW Kb to help reduce overall client crashing.
This also leaves you plenty of Kb Room to add your wonderful artwork and still have a light weight product.

Please note, if your color combinations are not working, adjust the Vertex On or Off as needed.
You can also adjust the "Self Illumination". Experiment with these settings.

You may use any size graphic you wish. If you need more detail use a Larger Graphic 256x256 or 512x256, etc. This
project may use Mapped (below) and / or Standard graphics in a 128x128 (low Res/Kb), 256x256 (normal Res/Kb) and up to 512x512 (High Res/Kb) Look closely at my "starter" textures in the Create Mode to get an idea of their layout, sizes, more... Experiment!

Can you use my textures on any of my products? YES!
Can you use my textures on other people's products? No.

Material Textures & Material Opacity -
Please look closely in the Create Mode for my material textures. This project uses simple textures and
no UV Maps.Please, keep in mind, your graphics dimensions can be larger or smaller than mine.

~ OMG! This looks complicated!
LOL Not really, just follow one step at a time ~

Flash "How To"

~ We are making the card3.xml file for our product linker ~
**This is the 'magic' that makes it work for you!**

**Are you an Advanced User?**
**Some customizing information for the** **is listed below for your reference.**
_________	This looks and sounds harder than it really is! More Help is below We are making the card3.xml file for our product linker
Step 1	Copy & Paste the information listed in the below box into Wordpad or Notepad. These come with Windows in the Programs 'Accessory' Listing. If you do not know how to do this, Google "How To Copy and Paste Text"
	<?xml version="1.01" encoding="utf-8"?> <card> <cardpic>card3.png</cardpic> <cardType><![CDATA[YourName]]></cardType> <lTitle1><![CDATA[Product<br>Name]]></lTitle1> <img>https://userimages-akm.imvu.com/catalog/avatars/Lestat.jpg</img> <sTitle1><![CDATA[Something for Everyone]]></sTitle1> <sTitle2><![CDATA[Professional Products & Derivable Mesh]]></sTitle2> <link1text><![CDATA[Lestat De Lioncourt]]></link1text> <link1>https://www.imvu.com/shop/web_search.php?manufacturers_id=42153530</link1> <link2text>Visit My Homepage</link2text> <link2>https://avatars.imvu.com/LestatDeLioncourt</link2> <link3>https://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_send_message_widget.php?recipient_id=42153530</link3> </card>
Step 2	For ease of reference, the yellow parts are the places you can edit for your project. Do not change anything else. The most common mistake is deleting one of the "Brackets" They look like these... [ ] be careful not to delete one of them. If it doesn't work in the Create Mode when we are done, you did something wrong. Simply, grab the above text again and start over with a clean copy. Oh, the places to edit won't show as yellow in the Notepad or Wordpad. This is okay. The Yellow Coloring shown above, is for reference only.
	Look closely in your WordPad for the area with the text shown below. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <card> <cardpic>card3.png</cardpic> The card3.png show above is for the Background shown in the popup window when the avatar steps on the yellow dot. You may simply leave it like it is or make your own. To change it, you will need to save a 350x228 .png file named card3.png in the Projects Folder. If you name your background something else, change this setting above to the correct filename. Most just save theirs as card3.png. Not card3.jpg Not Card3.png but exactly card3.png and it must be saved as a .png file. Confused? Skip this step and use mine.
	Look closely in your WordPad for the area with the text shown below. <cardType><![CDATA[YourName]]></cardType> Carefully remove and replace only the characters YourName with the Your Text. Characters are Limited so play with it in the client. Again - Change only the yellow part.
	Look closely in your WordPad for the area with the text shown below. <lTitle1><![CDATA[Product<br>Name]]></lTitle1> Carefully remove and replace only the characters Product<br>Name with Your<br>Text or just use Your Text. Characters are Limited so play with it in the client. I would use the Main Shorter Name of the product. If you are wondering about the <br> in between the words. This makes it jump down a line for the second word. Look at mine in the Create Mode. Play with it by putting a <br> in yours, More on testing in Create Mode in a minute. Just keep going for now.
	<img>https://userimages-akm.imvu.com/catalog/avatars/Lestat.jpg</img> The above is the link to a graphic saved some place on the Internet. (not located on your computer) Simply, place your own in PhotoBucket or TinyPic, etc. Direct Link Address in this setting. An example would be place a 160x220 snapshot of the avatar in the outfit if using this for outfits. You could also use your avatar display picture here if you like. NOTE: Currently, there is a small issue with the Create Mode. If the photo does not change immediately, try uploading the linker, clear cache and see if the photo change has taken place.
	<sTitle1><![CDATA[PID: 29165905 ]]></sTitle1> <sTitle2><![CDATA[Dragon Master Outfit]]></sTitle2> Add some text that you like in these two sections. Type something short on the first part. On the second part, type in a short name for the Product. Type anything in here for testing because you will need to adjust this later in the create mode. Will will be editing this file again later for fine adjustment.
	<link1text><![CDATA[Click and Try on All]]></link1text> The phrase Click and Try on All can be changed to anything you want but keep the length about the same or shorter. The example term is for an Outfit Bundle so my phrase "Click and Try on All" fits for me. Use similar text relates to your product linker's use.
	<link1>https://www.imvu.com/shop/product.php?products_id=29165905</link1> This is the link to your Product or the example OutFit Bundle in the catalog. Go to your product page and copy the web address from your web browser and paste it in here. This is where the customer goes when they click on my example "Click and Try All" as in above.
	<link2text>Visit My Homepage</link2text> You can modify this if you want to or leave it as is . This might be a good place to link to your homepage! You may want to change the text to "Visit My Catalog" and use the link for your Catalog instead. Look below at the next item.
	<link2>https://avatars.imvu.com/LestatDeLioncourt</link2> This is the actual link to the URL of my homepage. Change it whatever link you want. Make it match the description we did in the last step.
	<link3>https://www.imvu.com/catalog/web_send_message_widget.php?recipient_id=42153530</link3> This one is so people can instantly message you from the Flash Banner. The little "Red ?" question mark in the top right corner will let people message you if they have questions, etc. It has my link on it now but it is easily changed to your Private Message link. How? See the yellow 42153530 number on the end? Only change that number to your IMVU member number. How do you find it? Easy. Go to your IMVU Catalog Pages. Now look at the Address Bar on your Browser. That last number there is your member number. Just copy the number at the end and paste it on the above. Replace with your number instead of mine.
Step 3:	Save The Customized Script File - Let's save your card3.xml file
	Now that you have customized the script to your liking, it's time to save it. Go to "File" at the top left, now click on "Save As". When saving in Microsoft WordPad or Microsoft Notepad, be certain that you save with the file type "All Types" or "Unicode" selected (you don't want to save it as a .txt file, it won't work!) and make sure you type in the full filename exactly as " card3.xml " Please note: Card3.XML or card3.txt won't work. It must be named card3.xml - Go to "File" at the top left, now click on "Save As". - Look for File Type and select "Unicode Text Document" wth the down arrow as shown. - Notice it wants a File Name. Type in exactly " card3.xml " without the quotes. - Save it someplace easy like the Desktop or someplace you can find it. Note: The "File Type" to "Save As". Use "Uni-Code" or "All Files" either one will work. It is very important to name the file exactly as shown below.
	After you have the correctly edited file and it is named correctly you will then 'Copy and Paste' the file into the Projects Folder. We willget to this in a moment. We need to also place a custom graphic in the projects folder if you decided to edit the card3.png graphic file. So let's do this now. Both files MUST be named exactly (including upper / lower case) as follows: Correct Names for these two files are: card3.xml (.XML Instructions File) card3.png (graphics Background File) This is my example of the Flash Banner Background. You can use this as a guide to make your own. Don't forget to save it as a .PNG File and name it card3.png Please note: saving the file as a .jpg will not work. Naming it things like Card3.png, CARD3.png or even Card3.PNG will not work either.
Step 4:	Add both File(s) toThe Projects Folder in Create Mode This is where we place the card3.xml and the card3.png files Open the projects folder in the Create Mode like the graphic below. All of the files associated with this project are stored in this folder. Using Windows Explorer, find the file card3.xml where you just saved it. Right Click then "Copy & Paste" it to the Projects Folder as shown above. Repeat the same process if you wish to replace the default card3.png graphic with your own custom card3.png graphic. Here we go.... Press "Apply" in Create Mode Keep doing this last process with corrections if you want to change the Titles or Wording in the card3.xml file you made. SImply, edit then copy & paste it into the projects, again. Press Apply. After a test, you may need to click the Red X on the Flash Card (top right) if needed. Now jump back on the Yellow Dot and see the changes.

Confused? Hey, this is supposed to be fun! Give it a good
try but, don't rack your head agains the wall.
