Hello, Kirupa. First off, I’d already like to thank everyone who’s possibly reading this and also everyone who’ll possibly anwser and help me. Going straight to the point, I need help building a site entirely on Flash from scratch. I am a beginner at the software, I know what most tools do, I know how to create basic tweens and stuff, but well, all in all, I’m a beginner. I know absolutely nothing on Action Script (be it 2 or 3), and I want very much to learn Flash now. To do so, I want to put online a portfolio site for me. I already know Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects quite well, so I think now’s the time to give it a shoot. On to business:
-
So, first, what size should it be? I wanted it to be something around 1024 x 768 maybe? Is it possible to set an adapative resolution for the site? (I don’t know if that’s the correct term, what I meant is that the site changes resolution according to the users who are accessing it.)
-
I heard that if you don’t use ActionScript to animate things, the site gets mega heavy. Is that true? What should I use ActionScript for when building this website?
-
Is it possible to organize the loading priorities? As in, the order in which things load, so that the site gets a bit more dynamic allocating the user’s connection?
-
Are there global standards for Flash-based websites?
For now, I guess this is it. I’m starting this project today, so I’m still not quite sure what other doubts may pop up. Thanks a LOT in advance for anyone who reads this, and double thanks for anyone who answers ^^.
