Hey everybody! I want to make a flash site, where people can listen to good quality music from various unknown bands. First I there will be many bands and i will have a page for each. On each page will be music from the band that people can listen to… Now first will this be too big a flash movie for people to download? I was also wondering with all that music…is there a way that I can have all the songs on my FTP server and when they click on a song it will download the song to IE windows media player to save space on the movie? Or should I have pop ups? One more question… I know HTML and am just starting Javascript. However I just want to get this site up…Any thoughts on WYSIWYG progs ? Whats best Dreamweaver, Frontpage ☹ , GoLive? Thanks a lot ---

dreamweaver is a \*\*\*\*\* if u dont know bout it as i found out but if u do go for it u can get all the flash elements off there so u dont have to make em urself but frontpage is prob the best i would say. also if ur gonna have all that music it’ll be \*\*\*\*in dodgy for ppl with slow connections to load it all wont it i think if u make the link to \_self or somemt that might open it in the window but i aint the best flash expert i would just open the music in a new window coz people with aol etc have a built in media player to there isp so thee aint much point good luck -tom ---

I would create separate movies containing the songs, or sections of the songs. Have the full song be downloadable through the ftp section as normal, but create a flash interface which will load just the selection of music that the individual chooses at the momment. loadMovie(); is a very powerful command in Flash If you’d like to go this way, I can direct you to some posts which will be helpful. As for WYSYWYG editors. I like dreamweaver… but I have a lot of experience with it. I agree that if you don’t know the program, it can be a real bear. I still think it’s the best thing out there for the money if you don’t know anything about html. If you do, then you can get Firstpage as a free download. It’s not WYSYWYG, but it offers everything that an HTML initiate could need for creating pages… and it’s free. ---
