A flash site

Endo got me inspired to start messing around with flash websites and I created this little thing. It isnt coded yet and not too stylish but its my first attempt.

Looks pretty nice.

I say that because the site design is nice and flash is something I don't understand <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/blum.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

I like it, only thing I\'d change is the font.. little hard to read over here

Apart from that its coming along nicely <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... >/good.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'(Y)\' /> <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... iggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />

I think kirupa has a tutorial about loading external files into flash. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' /> Don\'t hold me to it though.

Kirupa has some excellent flash tutorials. Take a read of the one about choosing the right fonts, also Sylo. Though i must say that font looks quite good and much better to the first version you posted. If you cant get the external txt to work, give me a PM, but first, I had this issue, url\'s need to be in quotes ( \" ) ; I had this problem when I first started out, for example a button/text wanting to open a new window, or redirect would be

Code: Select all

on &#40;release&#41; {
getURL&#40;"www.killagraphix.com","_blank"&#41;
}

I find its something many tutorials expect you just to know.

Yeah i had the problem too. Every tutorial I went to didn't explain stuff step by step it was more like "do this then jump ahead to this" But I did get my text to work. I eneded up with something like this...

Code: Select all

on &#40;release&#41; {
loadVarsnum &#40;"index.txt", cont&#41;
}

And that would just call up that text file in the directory. And writing updates and blogs in a text file is more cleaner then HTML in my eyes O.o

Well remember you can \'enable html tags\' for the dynamic text box and use html in the text file <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

of course...but html is so cluttered =( would xhtml work?

Endo · Post by **Endo** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 12:21 pm

This Kirupa tutorial is a good one to look at. I dont think xhtml would work, but looking at this tutorial its not that complicated html, and at the end of the day, its only a few extra characters compared to just having a text file, at least this way gives you formatting options
