The beginning trials of building a Flash site




ARRRRGH.

That's pretty much how I felt all day trying to get back into making a Flash only site.
It's been a little bit of time, and going back into Flash is NOT like riding a bicycle. I would forget how to do things, I'd start thumbing through manuals-things wouldn't work right...it can be such a frustrating program.

But-luckily, I've managed to get through about 30% of my front page. There's still a lot to go, and I need to fix a couple of things I noticed going weird with my programming. Still-I'm relatively happy that things are starting to come together.

So right now, I managed to put together an HTML/CSS basic entryway, and I've managed to put together the front interface of the site with a little animation. Since the front end is still relatively unheavy, the site loads really fast. If you have DSL or CABLE.

Anyways-you can see the beginnings here:

Hi Michelle, Why did you decide to go with Flash this time?

Hey Paul!

The reason I wanted to use Flash was because I thought that the little vector characters would all look really cute animated. Because they're all vectors, they're extremely small files. That makes it easy to build them into a site. Because I won't have to update it often, if at all, I thought I would play with Flash a bit-just for my vector works.
