Hello to everyone and nice to meet you. Let me start by saying I frequent this board often and I have found it very useful. I find that this site and the forums are tools that no flash designer should be without.
With that said I just wanted to ask you experienced flash designers what is the best aproach to building a full flash website (I have built sites with flash elements in the past, but for this project I’m going to be using full out flash). So far I have only been designing the compents for my site (i.e. audio/mp3 player, video player, xml photo gallery, and so on). I designed each of these compenents in different .fla files. I guess my ?ueestion is this. Which aproach should I take when pulling this components together in my site. Should I create movie clips with each compenent and its actionscript inside or should I export the component to an swf? The reason why I ask this is because I want to have the least amount of problems I can so I’m trying very hard to be detailed about everything I’m doing. I’m reading lots of tuts at kirupa and gotandlearn so I’m starting to get this actionscript stuff down (I had a little c++ in college so the code makes sense for the most part … I just figuring out when you should use what ) and I’m also looking into getting some books on the subject. I want to get into doing sites for clients so I’m really taking this site seriously so I can have something to show them when the ask to see some of my work. Thanks for the replies and help.
