I would like to make a website on flash, if anyone has tutorials or knows tutorials they are welcome:thumb2:
It depends what you would like to make… You should probably start with an idea, then figure out what you’ll need to code and go from there. Just saying a flash-based website is waaay too vague.
I, for one, do not totally agree with this.
Yes, it is true that not everybody has Flash Player on their system. So, yes, there is a chance that by creating a site entirely in Flash you MIGHT miss a few folks.
That said (and semi-agreed to - I did not say I totally disagreed, either), Adobe’s research claims that 97.5% of all computer users (world-wide) now have some version of the Flash Player on their system. In addition, most new computers these days are being packaged with the Flash Player included.
So, yes, there is a chance that 2.5% of all computer users (world-wide) might miss my all Flash created site, to me that is not a particularly significant number. I am not saying that for others it should not be. I am merely tossing my thoughts into the conversation here.
In so far as the search engine issue is concerned:
I upload my nearly all Flash sites via Dreamweaver. The opening page of my current site (http://www.seaborn.us) is a single Dreamweaver html page that, in turn, connects to the Flash content.
If you Google seaborn.us it immediately comes up as the first choice in the list so, clearly, the search engine is having no problem finding it.
(If you just Google my name it is unfortunately on the 3rd page - behind the 30 other entries about me scattered across the Internet. Not 30 other sites created by me necessarily. When you are an actor as well (as I am) you can come up in sites you knew nothing about.)
The issues you have presented here I am not saying are not valid thoughts. I am suggesting that as Flash and everything else continues to evolve they might not be the same huge concerns that they once were.
[QUOTE=gtg236s;2339152]I would suggest not making the whole website out of flash. It is not to search engine friendly and there are still a few users out there that don’t have or use flash. Use flash to add interactivity such as games or unique elements within your website.
Flash is best used in moderation. I’m sure a lot of developers here would agree with me.[/QUOTE]
