I launched it and modified it, olka. no need for your modest fee

It’s just that when they said “beginners won’t find it difficult to modify the templates according to any requirements” I thought it mean that beginners won’t find it difficult to modify the templates according to any requirements. Silly me!

Do not use Flashmint they have zero customer service: it says their website “beginners won’t find it difficult to modify the templates according to any requirements.” It’s a lie!!!

Most of the changes needed to be made to the ActionScript 3.0 and they require Flash Player 9 to play it. ActionScripts can be structured in many different ways and without adequate instructions the scripts need to be deciphered first, amended and tested, which takes time. The Flashmint template came with zero supporting documentation.

Flashmint did have a support department, here is a quote from them: ” we unfortunately don’t provide assistance in editing flash, action script and flash editing tutorials”. I have asked them what support they actually provide. I’m still waiting for an answer.

The template came with an error that they refuse to fix properly.

The one subject the support department were keen to explain was how to employ their customization services which are expensive.
