I currently need help on how to start up a flash website. I have no idea how to approach such a project (I have all the content). So if someone could e-mail me at mark_labrador@hotmail.com, and give me some tips or instructions on how to start such a project I’d appreciate it.

Thank you for you reply,
I do have some questions:
Which box at the top of this page?
I also have Flash 5 and the only tutorial that Kirupa offers is for Flash MX, so I’m lost right now because this is actually my second time trying to create a flash site (My first was a failure:*( ).
If you can give me a short tutorial and I already know about frames and layers, I just don’t know when to convert something to a graphic, movie, or button symbol. I really don’t see the difference so this is bewildering me.
e-mail: mark_labrador@hotmail.com
MX isn’t that different from Flash 5, except for GUI (I am over-simplifying this of course), however I understand your misgivings.
to answer your questions
create a graphic - forget this exists - it doesn’t decrease file size, and you can’t control it once it’s created.
button - up to and including Flash 4, you could only create a button if you wanted a rollover, and hit state. I still use them, because I was trained in Flash 2. Most new users only use movie clips.
movie clips - the most versitile of all symbols. It can be coded to act like a button, or an animation, or both, or more, since an instance name can be called within ActionScript to manipulate that particular timeline.
Tip: if you are going to use a graphic (vector art or image, whatever) more than once, or you want to manipulate it in some way (tint, alpha, timeline) then make it a movie clip.
hope this helps,

Hi,
I’m not that familiar with flash yet, so I need to ask: What is a GUI?
Thank You
