Making a flash website

[NiXoN]

For very long I wanted to make a Falsh website. The problem is that I don't know where to start. If I understood it right u can make the pictures in Adobe Photoshop and then use them in Flash MX. Then u can put it in a html program like Dreamweaver. Are there any other easier ways?

How do I connect the picture, so that i make it a button and then with a document. Please just tell me where to begin.
THANKS
If you have any guide that is good for this porpuse please tell me.

Hi NiXoN,

Welcome to flashadvisor.com forum!

Yes you are correct make the image in adobe and import it in flash,

you want to make a full flash website or just you want to add the flash button, if you are using the flash button, it's simple just open a dreamweaver and add flash button here!

if you want to make full flash site, just import the files like jpg/gif or supported format and start making the website , on first frame just add the import file on a layer or so..

Try it !

Feel free to add more queries here!

So i can make the whole site in Flash MX and then import a single file into Dreamweaver?
The reason i wanted to make it in flash is because i want a fix size ( a popup window) and i wanted to learn flash.

I've started out. Simply doing text. I used the text tool. Then i convert the text into symbols so they are clickable. I insert a keyframe into up, down, over and hit. Is this correct?
I made a html where i just put a few words. Can i connect these buttons i made to that .html?
thnx

The problem is, when i click the HOMe button the new page should come in the right column, but instead it replaces it.
My "website" looks like this.
How do i make them seperate?

What i did was in frame 2, i added some text in the right column. So when i click the home button i want to make it to the second frame. So i click the home button. Uses the command "gotoandplay" as follows:
gotoAndPlay(frame2);

When i test the movie i get the following error:
Symbol=HOME, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
gotoAndPlay(frame2);

what am i doing wrong?

[jeet]

Hi there,

You must use the handler here like

on button press or realse ....


on(Press){
gotoAndPlay(frame2);
}

If you want to call an external swf file use the a movie clip holder for that

if you are try to add movie or content in same movie follow these steps

1. Create a Layer for buttons
2. Make an another layer and frames for all button like frame for home, frame for contact us ...
3. if you want to call the frame with name set the names of frame
4. make frame content like text, scroll text, picture ......
5. call frame throu buttons,

Tip:
1. Every frame have Stop Statement
2. Call a frame using gotoAndStop("FrameName");

Now Try it!
