Flash Websites

Hi,

My name is AJ and I am a fairly competant web designer. I have recently been asked to either convert an existing website to a flash website or build a new one from scratch. I have searched the flash help menu and have come up blank. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Also, since I use dreamweaver fo creating websites, I am pretty script illiterate. Can anyone offer advice on what school to attend to learn more about the back scene processes and scripts, also need it to be fairly recognized as I wish to obtain an in-house position upon completion.

Thanks

You need to consider a few things before you embark.

The website will still be in html just all the content will be in Flash
You can do things with out scripting, it just means that it won't be as interactive
Think about how you got starting in web design, buy a book, I've got a few of the Flash in 24hrs type books and they are great at starting the learning curve
Ask your client why they feel they need a flash site, what are there expectations from flash over established website techniques. There are positive and negative points were flash is concerned and although there are improvements there are still some important factors to consider: accesibility and load time off the top of my head, also the ease of updating.

I am sure a good long chat with them to find out what they want would get you a bit further, unless this is a portfolio piece?

good
