FlanceEdit V6 - 19/02/2002

How to use FlanceEdit

• Using Hijack, get the files off the empeg.
• Then use "File / Open" to load the file. (Make a backup of the file to a safe place!)
• Once the file is loaded, you can select the routine by name from the drop down list.
• Select the frame number, then the body part from the Drop Down Lists.
• The X and Y boxes change the position of the selected body part.
  You can also click to select a body part, and then drag it into a new position
• Choose the "Move / Play Move" option to view the resulting changes.
• Once you are happy, save the changes, then using Hijack put the file back on your empeg.

Using the Direct FTP options

1. Set your players Network name or IP address via the Options menu (You only need to do this once)
2. Choose the Upload or Download menu, and then the filename to use from the submenu
3. Wait a moment.
4. That's all

Problems?

• Q) I've uploaded my new routines, but they don't show on the empeg, why?
• A) Have you rebooted the player yet? Also not that as of the empeg player software V2 Beta 11, only the following three FlanceDoor routine files are loaded...
  breakdance.raw
  princedance.raw
  stonkdance.raw
