Building a joel grimes look a like flash website

ok, so I'm very well versed in photoshop and know a tiny html and get by in most cases by google searches for html an actionscript. I want to emulate this website's photogallery and home page.... http://www.joelgrimes.com/Artist.asp?ArtistID=12191&Akey=P7FJP8B4 .
First of all, I am very computer savy. Point me in the right direction and I can normally make it work when it comes to software, electronics, etc. I have the patience to sit down and learn flash through lydia.com if I have to. Is it flash I want to be concentrating on? I have the entire adobe cs5 suite at my disposal. Should I use flash builder...can I get away with photoshop and then use flash catalyst? I don't want to waste time learning the wrong software. Please help. Thanks in advance. My website is here... http://www.nakean.com

From your description, it sounds like your main timeline has
more than
one frame, and that your logo animation is on that main
timeline.
Try this: Take the logo animation and put it into a
movieClip. You
should only need one cycle of the animation. Place an
instance of that
movieClip on the main timeline and extend the layer to the
last frame in
the main timeline.
Remove the original logo animation from the main timeline.
When you test the movie, you should see your logo animation
play
regardless of what the main timeline's playback head is
doing.

Advice needed for beginner to Flash website building

Help!
I have zero knowledge about using Flash. I am being asked by my boss to build a flash web site for our music and video game stores. I built our old site in Dreamweaver.
Does anyone have advice on where i should start? A suggested book that will walk me through beginning to end. I've worked through a few tutiorials but I feel lost as far at the time line and actions.
Any expert advice is appreciated. I need to get started in the next month. I'd like to build it myself instead of outsourcing to someone else.
Know where I should start?

Lindsay,
Last month I built my first Flash website after following this tutorial on Lynda.com:
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourseN.aspx?lpk2=735
Needless to say the concept behind the tutorial was mind-opening, at least for me: I have a HTML/CSS background and I always used Flash almost only for banners, headers and simple animations.
Hope this helps...

Looking for a Flash Coder

Hello! I'm looking for a Flash Coder/Designer to Create Quantity of 5 Flash Animations which pull dynamic text from a XML File.
Here's the URL of the type of animation styles we like,
http://tinyurl.com/38r8wo2
Our finished animation graphics should have a fun look with easy interchangeable sponsors sponsors like the ones in these examples.
http://tinyurl.com/249gf5l
The 2 types of animations we require are, one that will display dynamic polling information, the other will be text scrolling horizontally and vertically in a smooth manor.
The selected designer will receive the .XML Files which the action script will pull the information from.
We would like the following animations:
1) Every time a new Text is added to the external XML file, that text is "SMACKED" on the screen, tiny from the distance to big on the screen, it will streak down the screen until it disappears off the bottom of the screen, this will be in a random manor, the text will have rotation angles of 140degrees. The font can be changed easily, as well as the background graphic. It should also contain a holder for a logo in the lower right hand corner which will jiggle whenever a new TEXT is detected.
2) Every time a new Text is added to the external XML file, it will jump up from the lower part of the screen and stop at the top of the screen, every time a new text comes in, it will stack below that, bumping the top one up. This will happen infinitely. There should be a holder for a logo in the lower right hand corner, this logo should Blink everytime a new text is detected.
3) Every time a new Text is detected is should scroll from right to left. In between each new text, a logo should scroll with the text. This scroll should easily be able to switch from right to left, and with logo and no logo.
4) If possible to create a 3D effect, the actual REAL 3D effect that people use to watch with those RED and BLUE glasses. This text would fly in from the far distance and appear big on the screen, it should use Depth of field so the text appear to be flying out of the screen.
5) Voting Poll Animation, should match the examples given in the URL.
Thanks! Budget is about $200 total. If interested please email me [email protected]

Start to build my first flash website

I've learned actionscript form resources like video and
books. i read some serious tutorials and did many practices and
small projects. I'm trying to build my first flash website. do i
need to learn Flex? or anything else? do i need to study some other
courses? My problem is where to start. what's a structure of a
professional and serious full flash website? links? components (if
any)? and ... yes i've worked on small swf files. creating
actionscript effects, building some easy components before but i'm
sure they are not enough. and one more thing! is there any good
practical (and specially free!) tutorials based on this concept?
(i've already reviewed actionscript.org and kirupa.com, thx!)

Your first question: subjective to your skillset. http://Zen-Cart.com has their own tutorials/FAQ/Forum that has plenty of information on the subject. Make your determination from the information they provide. It's free... download it and try it yourself to find out, perhaps?
Second question: you would not build additional product pages. There's only one product page that is populated with data from, wait for it... you guessed it, a database. If you're unfamiliar with working with database data then familiarize yourself with it if you wish to work on dynamic shopping carts.
I recommend http://Cartweaver.com if you want to work in Dreamweaver on the design and coding of the cart. It is very easy to implement your design into a cartweaver shopping cart.

What about older versions of flash like flash mx or flash8

Do you think that flash mx and flash 8 are outdated to learn for beginners? What do you suggest to a beginner entirely new to flash, the new ones like flash CS4 or begin with older ones like flash 8 and slowly build up?

Start with the newest version. Also start using the latest version of the scripting language. Use AS3. There is no need to learn to use AS2. It will not help you in the future any more than learning to groom a horse will help you to learn to drive a car.

Can Edge animation scale/resize like Flash and Canvas

One of our biggest concern right now is animation made with Adobe Edge can't scale and resize like Flash or Canvas (and we are not talking about fluid or responsive design) Is that true? Our animations need to allow user zoom in or zoom out without any restrictions, can we build our animation with Adobe Edge?
Thanks

The best solution I've found is to override the width of your stage div in CSS to auto!important. Then, use media queries to resize your div, using the CSS zoom property (and scale transform for Firefox).
/* Example CSS for an Edge stage div of 800px width */
#MY-EDGE-STAGE-DIV{width:auto!important;max-width:800px;}
@media screen and (min-width: 1px) and (max-width: 480px)
          #MY-EDGE-STAGE-DIV{zoom:0.5;-moz-transform: scale(0.5);}
@media screen and (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 600px)
          #MY-EDGE-STAGE-DIV{zoom:0.6;-moz-transform: scale(0.6);}
@media screen and (min-width: 601px) and (max-width: 800px)
          #MY-EDGE-STAGE-DIV{zoom:0.8;-moz-transform: scale(0.8);}
@media screen and (min-width: 801px) and (max-width: 50000px)
          #MY-EDGE-STAGE-DIV{zoom:1;-moz-transform: scale(1);}

Flex Builder 4 (next version) will be called Flash Builder

Adobe has just announced that the next version of Flex Builder will be called Flash Builder .. the framework will still be called Flex
I think although the change is confusing, in the long run it adds clarity ... here's why ...
1. Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder) is an IDE to write .SWF (Flash Player) files .... no matter what application framework you use, it could be pure AS3 code (i.e your own framework) , Flex framework or anything else .. there are many other framework options (although Flex is the most mature) ... Flash Builder can be used to build in any of those frameworks.
2. Flex is a framework of classes that solve several everyday application development problems when building apps that can run in the Flash Player ... you can use any tool to write your own classes that use flex framework classes (a flex application) ... Flash Builder (previously Flex Builder) or FDT or a text editor like TextMate.
Mrinal

Still don't like the name change...but after chatting for you on Twitter...I think I can use to it -;)

Fonts, not beautiful like Flash???

I've noticed that text captions don't look smooth like text
created using Flash. They are closer to html fonts. I don't know if
it's lack of dithering or what. Does Captivate not have the same
kind of font smoothing capabilities as Flash?

I've found when resizing captions that are bullet lists, you
need to press Ctrl-A to make sure you have everything selected.
Then changing font size will resize the bullet points.
Just highlighting all the text by dragging the mouse doesn't
seem to pick up the bullet points (in Cap 3 anyway).
I think there is a work around to the bullet list/anti-alias
problem. I think you need to add a couple of "returns" at the end
of the bullet points, and then resize the caption so that you can't
see the extras at the bottom.

Website looks nothing like my design :|

Hi All,
Second post here, hope that you are able to assist.
So I started to build a website and its based on the throughout template: http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/throughout/.
In dreamweaver, and its preview through to firefox, it looks great. Otherwise, as soon as its on the web, it looks nothing at all, like it should :|
We have a silver business package with FastHosts. Things like ASP and PHP are included as standard, but I just cant see whats gone wrong or why?
So click on the above link to see how the template should really look (colour in my website is a goldy yellow text with black background, all else is very similar)
and the below is what it looks like on the web :|
Can anyone advise if I am missing the obvious? do I need to set something on fasthosts to allow the javascript of the template?

You're a beginner. It takes time to learn everything you don't know. To save some time, copy and paste this code into a new, blank document. I stripped out everything non-essential and changed your slideshow to jQuery Cycle2. It works now.

Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this?

Please help! We got a used Mac Mini and we don't have the former owner's password, so we can't install anything like flash player. Does anyone know how to get around this? I don't know how to wipe the hard drive, and the support online doesn't seem to work.

As posted previously:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
If installing Leopard the process is similar in some respects. If you wish to begin anew then after selecting the target disk click on the Options button and select the Erase and Install option then click on the OK button. To install over an existing system do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

For the new iPhone 5s - is there not an option anymore to edit imessages without deleting the whole stream? There are some things I need to keep within a stream and some not necessary, and it looks as like no editing within a conversation?

Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp. Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke.
