How to make flash website

Hi I have never made a flash website but I can make html website. Can anyone point me towards good tutorials for making flash sites.
Thanks

You can try lynda.com, which is a fee-based tutorial site. I've never used it but haven't heard anything bad about it yet.

Need advice on how to make my website look better!

ive made a website for a security company but im just not 100% happy with it, i dont know if it doesnt look professional enough or things need changing design wise. i am open to any ideas on how to make my website look better, i also dont mind if anyone wants to dramtically change it if their idea is better. I would just very much appreciate a review and constructive critisism and ideas for a newly designed version of the site please!

Thanks!

As a novice, some things I see: The footer has redundant, unecessary images (4 large images-for your services--REDUNDANT) odd? The text part of footer: text seems close, scrunched, have some space between heading and items, DO NOT CENTER TEXT!,
One of the service links bought to page with SAME LARGE image on homepage-change picture, don't use same large image for 2 different pages.
DO NOT use CONTACT US as 1 of 5 links on menubar. Do in another creative way, and/or use footer for contact. I think this looks amateurish (my opinion of course).
If I remember, the homepage and the rest of site, have exact same page structure.--See if you can atleast change the structure of inner pages versus the homepage.
Didn't look at enough, but..maybe...
each of your services should be a main menu link on your menubar. I would not put contact us on menubar, and you also had another menubar link with no dropdown( of course ok, but maybe could restructure)--Also your last service (on right of menubar)---why is that one different, and not included with the other services??
Seems like your menubar (items) structure could be reworked.--I would suggest, briefly looking at, to maybe have each service as a primary menu heading/title..YOU MAY NOT NEED A DROPDOWN MENU? Make sure if dropdown it is necessary.
Local security should be one of your services.
Have your footer logo, as is to left, but maybe put your footer links more to the right;;It will 'balance' the footer section
Your top logo seems too close to your main LARGE image (Which btw, seems oddly large compared to the rest of your site?)--That LARGE top image(the same palce on every same looking page), seems too big for your page--Why doen't it line up with the rest off your page content?

Advice on how to keep Flash website small & fast

Hi, I'm developing my first Flash website (I know, I know, there are plenty of reasons to use other development products, but for now it will be Flash), and I envision a site with several pages and needing to load some large graphics. I'm doing the main design work in Illustrator and importing it into Flash. I'm not too concerned with animation except perhaps moving some buttons around. My plan so far is to use a lot of UI loaders to keep the main .swf small and to really try to keep the coding pretty simple as I'm a newbie anyway. I'm looking for general advice on how to prevent the main site from loading quickly - for example, I don't have a good sense of the best format to use for graphics, or which makes the site slower: using several UI loaders or just keeping the content in the main site? Is a lot of code or large graphics more draining on the load time? Any thoughts on what you think I can do or not do to keep it lean would be super appreciated, or any other resources you might be able to point me to.
Thanks in advance!

Nah... really really stupid questions only get asked in non-Flash forums. The size of the swf is not tied tot the size of the fla. The fla has alot more baggage that inflates its size greatly compared to the swf it creates. The swf will end up bearing the weight of whatever content you put in it.
If you want to see what's adding weight to your swf, go into your Flash Publish Settings and select the option to Generate Size Report. When you publish the file it will display a detailed report of each element and the weight it contributes to the swf.
As far as dynamically loading swf's, it is often a necessity, unless the swf is strictly an animation. If you import an swf into an fla file, all of the actionscript that might have been in it is stripped out.
Code will have negligible weight in a file. Images (large/heavy ones) can put lead shoes on a file, along with video and sound files.

How to make a website like this

Does anyone know a good publication or training DVD that will
quickly teach me how to make websites like this:
http://blusites.com/adam/
I've been taking a flash course through a local college and
all they teach me is how to do stupid animal animations, animated
gifs etc... I'm dropping the class hoping that I can teach myself
and not waste anymore time
Thanks!

Personally, why pay to view linda.com videos when you can
access all the videos you could want for free at
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
I'm not crazy about the videos anywhere because I might have
to watch them again and again, but some of the videos have a
tutorial and a file to download.
If you're the type that you like to do all you can before
going to a forum, then you can do these things:
1. I don't know if you have Adobe Creative Suite 3, but if
you want to make websites with flash, you will need the program.
2. I like the flash movie at
http://blusites.com/adam/blu1.swf,
but believe it or not, it's a very simple movie. The photographs
are supplied by a professional photographer, and the flash movie is
simple.
3. If you already know how to make movies using Flash, then
get yourself an Advanced Flash book to to learn faster and become a
better flash creator. Flash CS3 uses ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0. You
might like to get a book on ActionScript 3.0 to learn faster.
You can and will learn faster and better if you take the time
to do 2. and 3.
There is a ton of Flash Tutorials at Adobe and other
websites, do a search and you'll get so many sites it could take
years to visit them all.
good luck, hope this helps

How to make my websites look good in iPhone and iPad?

I have problem to make my website in iWeb look good in webbrowsers in iPhone or iPad... The background (JPEG-file)are dublicating several times!
But that's not a problem for all my different sides, thou it was build in the same way. Here's the site (try to looka at it in a webbrowswer in any handheld
divice): http://www.clavius.se

That's the way Mobile Safari handles backgrounds.
Why not use a normal background with proper text boxes.
Anyway, remove your background in iWeb and paste this code in a HTML Snippet :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
where the background file (entresida.jpg) is OUTSIDE the Site folder iWeb creates.
BTW, here's how I make iPad friendly websites with iWeb :

Make flash website fit to screen

How to make a website for a MS SQL database?

I'm used to making static html websites, but now I shall make a website for a friend who has made a database (Microsoft SQL). So I shall make the layout, forms etc, and he provides the database. Can anyone please explain the prinsiples of making such a site, and how to connect it to the database?
PS: I've added the features "Server Behaviors", "Databases" and "Bindings" in my Dreamweaver CC, as they are not preinstalled.
Hope for help!

media="screen" or media="print" is part of a css link in the head of a page and allowed one set of rules for print and another set for screens.
It was the precursor to "Media Queries" which is what you're looking for.
Here's a good starting point for Media Queries...
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing-media-queries.html
Basically, you make one site in html, then 2 stylesheets that control the site depending on the viewer device. You use the pixel width of the device or browser window to determine which stylesheet is used. When they're on a desktop, stylesheet1 is used, when they move onto something smaller, stylesheet2 kicks in.
The basics are pretty simple, getting the most out of it takes practice.

How to make a website similar to another site?

I am looking to make a website for my photography portfolio. So I decided to look online for some examples and found this website: http://www.larajade.co.uk/
I don't do fashion photography but i liked the whole scroll through the pictured kind of idea. But I am relatively new to dreamweaver and don't know how to make that effect. I was just wondering if anyone knew how or had an idea about how to do something like it. And if you did, somehow teach me how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

How do I add a website to remember the password after I have been to it before? I didn't know how to make the website remember the password initially.

I want to have firefox remember a password on some sites that I have already been to previously. When it asked me initially, I didn't know how to make it remember. Now I would like for it to remember that site. Please explain how to do this.

If you clicked "Never" then you have created an exception that you need to remove.<br />
Otherwise Firefox should offer to store the name and password on the next visit when you sign on.
Remove site(s) from the Exceptions:
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Exceptions

How to Make Flash CS4/Dreamweaver CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" user-scalable="yes" initial-scale="1.0" /> 
   <meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" />

         (foreground.height / 2);
//cont.//
var title:SimpleLabel = new SimpleLabel("My Application",
   "bold", 0xffffff, "_sans", this.inchesToPixels(.15));

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the correct positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

How to make cool websites?

I am learning flash.
How do i learn to make really cool websites like the ones on
this page:
http://www.bluegelmedia.com/templates_flash.htm
the tutorials i read are the basic ones on using tools. How
can i learn to make these awesome like websites?

Here's how:
1) Learn all the tools in Flash thoroughly, even the boring
ones you aren't interested in at first.
2) Study lots of websites you like
3) Look at lots of graphic design books
4) Learn some basic principles of animation
5) Experiment...a LOT!
Cool Flash sites are created by people with excellent design
sense and confident mastery of tools and ActionScript in Flash.
Your question is kind of like: I just bought a paintbrush, is there
a tutorial that will help me learn to paint like Monet?
You too can create cool Flash sites. But you need patience
and practice. Believe me, once you learn all of the tools in Flash,
and start learning even basic ActionScript, you'll be highly
motivated to experiment. In short time, you'll be addicted to Flash
and you'll be turning out things that no one else is doing. It may
be simple and crude at first, but the more you do it, the better
you'll get. By the time you get to this stage, you'll know which
directions you're interested in going, and you'll be able to seek
out books and tutorials and help on specific topics.

How to make a website available off-line

How can I make the content of a website available off-line? In the "old days" this was common, and built in to web browsers. A whole site could be downloaded and all links too 2 or 3 levels deep. Then the content would be available when not online. Changes would sync periodically. I've searched addons but nothing ("Download Them All" is a start, but only gets links one level deep from the page you're on at the time.)
Thanks!
