Extension for Motif Flash Ad Kit will not install

[Lou (dog)]

I followed the directions given on this page:

I downloaded the extension from Doubleclick. I installed the extension
successfully. The templates are not available in the Flash UI. What did I do
wrong? See this screenshot - [url]http://plutonomy.org/no_motif_install.jpg[/url] - It
shows the Flash UI, my Configuration folder with the Motif components
installed, the Extension Manager with Flash Ad Kit installed. But no way to use
the templates... Very confused.

I'd like to add that there are several errors with this Double-click extension.
It would not install on a Windows XP machine with CS3, stating "This extension
requires Macromedia Flash MX or greater. Quitting." Oh, CS3 isn't greater??

Also, I found the Window > Other Panels on my Mac version (where the extension
did install but doesn't show up on the welcome screen) and when I try to open
the Motif Panel, I get several Javascript errors and the panel opens up with
blank content.

I will be sending a note to the author of the tutorial. Users trying to
develop Flash ads with the Flash Ad Kit be warned - it doesn't work!!

I had the same error when trying to install on an xp machine for Flash 8. I
suspect it is really sniffing for other platform details, such as the type of
processor. It shouldn't be rejecting the Flash, or the platform, or giving the
wrong error message.

I found motif templates on the doubleclick site, you have to register (free) of
course, but then you can download the whole shebang. They have some tutorials,
but good luck getting support if you have deeper questions.

I didn't have trouble downloading individual templates. It is the Flash
Extension that adds the templates and the Motif Panel to your Flash UI that I
am speaking of. I don't need tutorials and I don't have questions about the
product - but thanks for the download link, 3rings - I recommend that users
download the templates instead of trying to use the extension. It would not
work on my Mac or PC.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
