Starting a web site...

[Nate]

Hi guys... I am new here.

I am sorry if I placed this thread in a wrong forum. But I have a question I need to ask...

I want to learn how to make a web site using Flash. Learn how to make those colors. But I don't know where to start...

May you please direct me to the right path? How to I begin? I don't full know the HTML coding. I had experience... but I didn't get it all. I can only make a very basic one.

What should I read in order to learn how to make a website using Flash?

We've been here before.

Go through the features of flash.

The drawing the tweening etc.

then do some basic action script

Play(), Stop()

then things like buttons


onpress gotoandplay()

they play with movies with movies.

then control movie properties with buttons alpha, vis , x , y

then come up with some ideas about little challenges and try to resolve them. If you get stuck you can always come and ask some advice here.

How does that sound?

I don't know... I am really a noob. Can you please rephrase it to a language I would know?

Thank you for your time... and sorry for not researching it but I just don't know where to start.

to get a handle on flash go through and do as many of the flash tutorials on this site. Then when you feel your ready do the "creating a full flash site in flash" tutorial.

In short words. Play around. This is the best way to start. HTML is not needed for flash but if you want to learn all of it you can go to w3schools.org or something like that if that link don't work :thumb: good luck.

open flash.
go to the help menu.
go through the lessons and tutorials that come with Flash, and the "Using Flash" guide will tell you mostly everything you need to know.
then go to net tutorials.

I actually did some research... so I am not a totally noob boy :P. I already went to the front web page tutorial.

But I got impatient... and I am not sure if I was doing the right thing or going the right way because I have no idea where I am starting.

Thank you so much for helping me. I can see clearly now...

If you get impatient you will never succeed.
Time is not against you when you're learning, take your time, if you mess up you will find out.

When I started flash I made movies FRAME BY FRAME because I didn't know that you could tween! Then when I finished it would look great, then i began to wounder why there was a white box on my grey screen (the stage.)

I then found out that I needed to keep everything in the stage

about a few months later I had played around long enough to know how to do basics, then I began site making. This took about 6 months to totally understand.

Overall it took about a year (or two, hehe) to fully uderstand flash and begin using actionscript.


Right now I haven't been using flash at all (it's not even installed) I use HTML and I'm learning PHP.

P.S. Don't EVER RUSH, you said you looked in "Front web page tutorials" You didn't, you looked in Front Page tutorials and front page is a program :-P
