Flash Website Help

Hello All -

I have a fairly good working knowledge with Flash, my background is mostly video, however I'm moving a lot of my concentration over to web design.

I've created quite a bit using Flash, however, I haven't made a website from begining to end all in Flash. My new goal is to do this and I was wondering if any of you knew of any good tutorials/sites I could check out to get me started on this. I'm very eager to begin this project and any help would be great.

Thanks so much in advance for any and all help!

- Derek

i don't know of any tutorials helping you build an entire flash webpage...

for doing an entire site in flash, brush up on your actionscript (primarily loadMovie or attachMovie), smart preloaders (visible or background) and components...

components make building repetetive things like menu buttons cake - you leave dynamic text boxes empty on the component and change the parameters of the component's stage instance (menuButton2.displayText = "Menu Opt 2") and you've got an easily duplicated button that you only have to edit in 1 place

also, generally when i do multipage flash sites, i make the first thing that loads up kind of a "loader" swf - based on what page you're browsing to, or if you're just coming to the site for the first time, i'll have the loader SWF load other 'pages' either out of the library (attachMovie - watch this one cuz you've gotta tell the library items 'export for actionscript' in the properties) or out of external SWF's (loadMovie) - that's kind of the basic structure i use with either loaders on the external movies, or a dynamic loader that displays the status of whatever you tell it is loading....

bah... i guess i just kind of rambled, don't know if that's way beneath you or if it even makes any sense
