How to add a Flash file to Wix
Before I tell you how to upload Flash files, let me explain some things first.Wix is very picky when it comes to flash files, they only allow Action Script 3 (AS3) to be used. Action Script (AS1) and Action Script 2 (AS2) files can be uploaded but when viewed, there will only be a red Error message, though the sound files on them might still play. Also, all AS3s must be equal or less than 5 MegaBytes (MB) or 5120 KiloBytes (KB), otherwise they will not be uploaded at all.
For everyone who douse not have Flash creation programs, then this will be a real chore.
(This will be most if not all of us)
First off, I have found a small number of problems regarding flash and Wix.
One is there is no way to tell an AS3 apart from an AS1 or an AS2. The only real way to find out is to upload the file to Wix, if you get a red error message, then you’ll know it’s not an AS3.
(If your lucky enough to have the ability to edit Flash Files, you can Convert an AS1 or AS2 to an AS3)Two would be flash files with audio, I do not recommend them unless they come with their own pause button.
Three would be games. Most games come with their own audio, so again, not recommended. There is also the issue of file size, but I’ll explain that in more detail later. Then there is yet another problem when switching pages back and forth, more details will be explained later.
