Searchable Website Vs Slick Website...when To Draw The Line
Just curious what everyone thinks here:

So, we all know how search engines have a hard time reading flash sites. Well, I have come to a road block in my designing...I have clients that want their sites in the search engines but also want a certain amount of 'tech' to them! I can design pages with 'some' flash, enough to make it interesting, BUT if they want a 'fully searchable' page, what do we do?
I can type html all day long but it will never compare to the slickness of flash. I just finished my first 'full html' site in over a year(stuck on flash) and I am blown away by the clarity! It makes flash sharpness look dull! (sorry)

**My Question:
If you had a client that wanted a high tech site and also wanted to be 'searchable', what would you do??

***I'd like to hear all opinions, reasons and answers***

[F8] Creating A Pop Up Window With A Flash Movie Within A Flash Website
Hey guys, been scratching my head over this for some time would appreciate any words of wisdom ...
I'm trying to create a script for a movie clip/ button that when pressed will open up a new window with some swf/ video/ banner in it. This would resemble getURL except the mc would be from within the (flash) website itself and not some other website... much like a javascript applet for example. any ideas?

Loading External Flash Files Onto Flash Website
I need help on how to load .swf files on a flash site as a portfolio section, each one will have their own image or animation. The way I want them is to when you change the pages it loads the next object rather than have it on the site and make the site file bigger to load than having it minimual. I found only one tutorial but it incorporates something I don't want and tried working around it to have it load under a frame (not animation frame but like picture frame) in a certain location.

Full Flash Or Half Flash Website Question
okay after doing flash for a lil bit im a bit confused.. it seems like this stuff is mostly for graphics moving around and stuff like that. Now my question is.. is it better off to make a site complete with flash or one that uses a header flash and the rest are html..And if i go with the header flash & rest HTML how do i connect the flash button menu so that it opens a page in my html. i dont know if i make any sense any help will be good thanks. I guess its kinda like kirupa site where the header is flash and the context is html..or maybe im wrong everything on kirupa site is flash hehe

Quick White Flash Before Flash Load On Website
Hello. I'm fairly new to flash and built a website, that does both images and flash. I have 3 flash files, 1 for a top animation, 1 for a navigation, and 1 for my bottom header. Anytime I load a page or click a link to visit the next page from an external link, like going from page1.html to page2.html, it instantly loads everything besides the flash files, which blink WHITE for half a second, then displays the content in the flash files. I've looked up some information on google.com, and came across what some other have recommended to other users having the same issue, which they mention using a preloader.
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum104/391.htm

this is what the white flash looks like on my website
http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/5013/part3xx0.jpg
" the white areas are the flash files a second before they load "

So, I tired to create a preloader with no luck at all. I followed instructions perfectly to add in a preloader for my animation but i kept getting errors upon a preloader loading and it wouldn't load the content. Now, my project in Flash 8 looks like this, have 1 layer on the timeline, which that 1 layer has 1 frame, which that 1 frame has a movie on the fram and when you double click it, then leads to the animation I created for that movie. (i've provided images below for you guys to see.)

Part 1: http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/8421/part1bg1.jpg
Part 2: http://img461.imageshack.us/img461/9676/part2rw0.jpg

My question would be:
How do I add in a preloader for a project from the above images i've posted? If someone could point me in the right direction to a tutorial, or post some instruction steps on how to perform this that would be awesome. The white flashing is just terrible looking and I've been spending all day try to find a fix for this.

Thanks guys, I love the site. this site finally made me step up to flash and eat it like an apple, just gotta get the white flash thing gone. Thanks again.

Flash In A Website
Hi everyone. I am definately a newbie so please to laugh at me! I was wondering a few things about websites that are made with flash. First off, when you make a flash website, how do you make separate news, pictures, links, etc. pages that you can update frequently? Do you embed an html page that you can change and update? or do you update the whole flash site? An example of a flash site that I really like is http://www.thepeoplerock.com . This gives you an idea of the type of site I would like to create. I'm not totally worried about the scrolling pictures at the top yet, but the layout and buttons and everything is what I'm looking at doing right now. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. And if you could explain the concept of creating a website out of flash. Is the whole site a "movie"? and how does that work with the html?? This whole concept is very confusing to me. Thank you so much.

How do I put flash on my website?

Flash Website
Hi,

I am in the process of constructing my first Flash site.
For example, I have text acting as buttons that will link various pages. In the properties I see it has a blank box for one to enter in the http:// link and/or an e-mail address.

Well, I've got each page on it's own scene. Do I control linking page to page via frame labels? Or do I actually put the name of the scene representing, say INFO, in that blank box?

I do not know at all.

Appreciate your response!

Hi!

I was wondering if there are any specific tutorials I should take before I venture into making a full Flash site.

I am interested in learning how most Flash sites have the data dynamically loaded in, such as lists.

I would like to know how to do things like load in external XML files which create buttons that make Flash do specific actions, such as load a different image into a specified box and different text into specified fields.

I know it can be done with XML, but can I use a XML field to create buttons?

EG:

<myxmlstring image="123.jpg" text="hello!" buttonName="hi">

and then use the field "buttonName" to create a column of dynamic buttons, so if I had the same string under it with a buttonName of 123 I would get:

Hi!
123

in a scrollable column of buttons?

Thanks, and not I'm using Flash MX if it helps.

Flash Website Help
Hi - I am looking for a little help. I am creating a flash portfolio and have run into a stumper for me (obviously I am not too experienced). The link below shows the template I am making for my portfolio:
http://www.aweduserve.org/mark_arnol...template1.html

I need some help with getting the content to display in the window below the navigation buttons (I don't want to use html or dhtml frames). I just want to be able to have text and pictures come up in the window when their corresponding button is pressed.

All the content for each section will fit in the space provided by the window (I don't want or need the window to scroll).

The portfolio section needs to include some embedded links that will open up an external browser to display several individual websites that relate to projects I have worked on. As well the links below the window need to open up externally (one to a pdf of my resume and the other to jump someone to email me). I a bit stumped on the proper way to link to send an email in flash as well.

Last, how do I make sure this will display centered on a web page? It is 800 wide so it wouldn't matter in that screen setting, but I would like it centered in higher screen resolution settings.

I would appreciate any help someone could provide. My YIM contact is markfarnold if anyone would have time to chat me through a bit of this. I am very eager to learn! Thanks so much..Mark

Website In Flash
I'm planning on making a complete website in flash. I've designed it by linking text files to keyframes and then buttons to keyframes.

The problem I'm having is that there is a lot of pictures to load onto only one page (over 1MB) and I don't want them to load initially. What I need to do is stop the pictures page loading initially and provide a second preloader to take over when navigated onto the pictures.

One solution for this would be to make a separate flash file as a picture viewer and loading it into the picture keyframe. The problem here is when I uypdate the pictures section I would need to upload a lot at a time and take a fair bit of time putting the new pictures on. Is there anyway around this problem?

Thanks
