Does anyone have experience working with FLASH?

Hey Blake I’m in the same boat as you my site “still under construction arrrg. I am using more javascript stuff and don’t know squat about flash. My wife says the First site has helped alot and I have used the trial version of dreamweaver to write some html and basically pirated my javascript from some open source sites. check these sites out: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/

Any way hope i was able to help in some way.
Have a good day Blake

Lynda.com has some great online training on almost all computer topics including Flash. It costs a little but it’s well worth it.

I don’t build sites but my peeps do. Avoid an overabundance of Flash otherwise you will run afoul of SEO [Search Engine Optimization] standards. The porn folks use a lot of it therefor ALL of the major search engines will “sandbox” you if they detect ANY Flash on your homepage. This isn’t a terminal condition but it prevents your site from indexing for 3 to 6 months! So, better to avoid Flash as much as possible and keep its use to a minimum. Hope this helps.

Flash can actualy be broken down into 2 parts
1) animation
2) action script ( which is basicaly programing)
depending on how complex/updateable you would want the flash to be you might be getting heavy into the actionscript part.

Another thing flash can require a download/install of software, depending on your audience, some may not have it and/or want to install it.

A different option to flash is to use css check out this site http://www.cssplay.co.uk/ there are some menu and gallery options.

Did someone say flash?

I don’t know for sure. It is unavailable to me. But knowing Odie, I’m sure my imagination is NOT doing him justice.

Odie obviously knows the most about FLASH. We’ll get in touch…
