I good MIDI file that I converted to an MP3 can be downloaded here starwars midi mp3. It is also included in the download. I will be adding more Star Wars MIDI's later, but you can use any mp3 file yourself. If you would like to include the original music you will need to purchase a copy of it yourself. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Trouble Shooting

  1. I purchased the program and received my payment confirmation from paypal but I have not received my download link yet.
    • The email can take several minutes to arrive after purchasing and is sent to your paypal email address. Make sure to check your spam folder. It will be sent from the address cdrake@gmail.com.
  2. The text is standing up to the left and not moving...!
    • This occurs when you do not have Flash Player 10 or higher installed or when you have a syntax error in your XML file. Make sure everything is well formatted. If this only occurs when you are trying to play it locally on your computer, open the flash file and right click inside of the scroll and look at the bottom and it will tell you what version of flash you have installed locally. This is not always the same as the version you have installed for your browser, e.g. Firefox or Safari. Try opening the flash file using a web browser, if it loads then you need to update your local version of flash, if it doesn't then you need to check your XML file for typos.
  3. The Star Wars yellow scroll freezes as my logo/text is coming in.
    • This occurs when you do not have a the included music file mymusic.mp3 in the same folder as the flash file. If you do not want music you can delete the included file and create a blank file called mymusic.mp3. Music is embedded in custom orders and this error can't occur.
