I am trying to customize a flash template for my needs.
The site is consisted of Portfolio (Photo gallery), About Me, Archives, Awards and Contacts pages...
I managed to customize the Portfolio page changing the previously added photos. Now i have to change the text of the other 4 pages.
The problem is i can't find the text in the .fla file. I only managed to find the HEADER text nothing more.
And second...i put the web site on net to sea how it would look like and i noticed that the site doesn't open as it should. I have to do a right click and than select Show all...
I must say am no expert but i am rather good with Flash but can't solve those two problems.
Please help i am in a hurry...
I will send you the .fla file if needed...
Thank you to all...
Regards.

— the header being editable in the FLA while the other pages are missing usually means the template is loading those page texts at runtime. was right to look at stage placement and publish sizing; here are focused, practical checks that go beyond that and will let the text be edited and the "Show All" scaling problem fixed.

First, locate the missing copy. Search the project folder for a phrase that appears on the missing pages (use an editor's “Find in Files” or the OS file search). Look for external XML/JSON/TXT/PHP files and for anything passed via FlashVars in the HTML embed. Check the FLA Properties for a Document class (open any .as files in the project). Drill into the Library — double-click movieclips and child symbols to inspect nested timelines; text is often inside nested clips or inside separate child SWFs. Finally, inspect the Actions panels and any external .as files for code that sets text (look for URLLoader/LoadVars/Loader calls or assignments like someTextField.text = …).

Second, fix the display/scale issue. The need to right‑click and select "Show All" points to a mismatch between the SWF stage and the embed/container or to the embed scale settings. Inspect the generated HTML (or swfobject parameters) and any CSS around the object/embed. Either make the embed size match the SWF stage or allow the SWF to scale and handle browser resizes in code. Example AS3 starter to control scaling and respond to resize:

import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;

stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);

function onResize(e:Event):void {
    // reposition/resize content to fit stage
}

A few final notes: if the template loads content from a server, test using HTTP (local webserver) rather than file://. If the copy lives in separate child SWFs, open and edit those SWFs. The HTML wrapper is often the quickest place to check for missing text sources or problematic embed parameters.

Probably you couldn't embed the file properly. Please attach the file for reference or send it to below id

I understood the file is too big to attach, Ok

1. Let you check your file for some of the movieclip (or) items moved out of the stage boundaray.
2. Check whether your file published in 100% width & height proportionately
3. Or just attached your html file here to look some parameters missing
