This might be silly but I wanted to know if I could incorporate flash elements using Dreamweaver? For example making the buttons/header in Flash and build the pages in Dreamweaver? Does that make sense?

Do any of you think it’s a good idea to build a site entirely in flash?

I want to build a site that is reasonably small in size. I think Flash will take sometime to load. My site isn’t that bad in size but I wanted to make a gallery similar to this :  
[http://www.fatoe.com/f801.html](http://www.fatoe.com/f801.html) in flash. So for my last question can I achieve that in Dreaweaver? I know a little about javascript but not sure how it works with the preloaders and the transition to the actual image.

why not try lightbox(search on google) for a gallery? no flash required and it looks great.
