Hi there,
Complete Flash novice here - sorry 'bout that.
Okay - can anyone give me some pointers. I wish to create a simple website for a client. An art gallery site. The budget is stunningly minimal and so I can’t put a lot of oomph in to it and make a dollar.
The client wants the ability to update content. Definitely text and possibly images ( but not neccessarily so). Can Flash allow my client to do this - say from a Word Document or Notepad or whatever.
If so - can you tell me how or point me to some good links? How does he get the Word Doc to update a website - and especially as he will be a complete knobhead when it comes to web - so Cute FTP, WS FTP etc are probably a non starter.
So - tell me folks - is there a cheap as chips way of doing this with some clever code that means I don’t need databases and ASP etc?
The first person to respond with a coherent answer that I can understand without running for the dictionary, will recieve my forever grateful award.
ps . just found this site - and what a blinder it is! Neat, clean design and moreover tutorials that I can understand. Nice one.
