My Board

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 /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 /good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(Y)' /> /biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Hmmm. Ive never had a problem witht his text. Usually everyone loves it. But i updated it and now the new one looks kind of cooler i think

The only problem im having is puting content in. I know theres a way to make it load a text file into a dynamic text box but everythime ive tried it it dosnt work. hmm i dunno

I think [url="http://www.kirupa.com/"]kirupa[/url] has a tutorial about loading external files into flash. /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
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...
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 /bigwink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

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

This [url="http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/newsflasher.htm"]Kirupa[/url] 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

Hmmm. Thanks for pointing me to the tutorial. Ill probobly deffinatly use it. Thanks for all the help too /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
