How to make a flash/xml site?

I'm no stranger to html, actionscript, dreamweaver, or flash, but I seem to be in a bit of a rut, here.
Note: I'm not asking anyone do do the work for me. it would just be really helpful to have access to source fla's, templates, tutorials, etc.
Basically, I want to make an animated, dynamic-width flash site to show off my projects, portfolio, and company information, but I'm absolutely overwhelmed. D:
Here's the concept I've come up with:
As you can see, the idea is a simple monochrome layout with a top and bottom bar, and a "moving" sidebar. Regardless of window-size, I want to make the bars stretch all the way across the screen, except for the bottom one, which will only go 100-200 pixels away from the right edge.
So my question(s) is(are) basically, where do I begin?
Should I use xml or just flash?
Should it be broken up into small swf files or be one big one
One swf file per page, or one for the whole site?
How do I go about making a dynamic width layout in flash?
What's the best method to make animation "transitions" between pages?
Do I need a preloader, and how do I make one?
Is there anything else I should know (tips, advice) before I start?
I'm not sure if I missed anything or not... ^_^;
I know I'm asking a LOT, but answers to any (or all) of these questions would be greatly appreciated, and I'd be forevereverever in your eternal debt.
thanks for everyone's time!
Sincerely,
Eric

If you are going to want to update your content on a regular basis, say weekly or monthly, then you may want to use XML. If you site will remain pretty constant, then there's no need for that extra layer of complexity. A good design methodology is to create one base movie and then create a series of additional movies that hold the content. I always try to design so that the user has no or very little wait time when they move from one section to another. This means that each content movie needs to be pretty small in file size.
You probably want to go through the tutorials that come with Flash to get you started in how Flash works. You might want to pick up a book or two and visit some of the Flash sites that contain tutorials. Good books: Flash CS3 Flash Bible, Actionscript 3 Cookbook, Flash CS3 for Designers, Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Classroom in a Book. Good sites: http://www.gotoandlearn.com, http://schoolofflash.com/, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/, http://www.flashandmath.com/.

You may find the VideoPlayer class helpful:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/VideoPlayer.html#includ eExamplesSummary
There's some sample code there which shows you how to put a video player on a movie and play something. You would just need to add some buttons and stuff. That example is Actionscript 3. Things will be different if you have an older version of Flash.

How to make this in Flash Builder?

I am looking to make an Android app and one of the functionalities is somehting like in the video.
I am new to Flash Builder and looking for some help to make it.
Anyone has a tutrial or has any idea how to make this?
Android SQLite App Development with Flash Builder and Flex - YouTube

I'll give you the short answer, Flash Catalyst is built on top of the Flex Framework and it's libraries. When you launch or load a FC swf, it will contact the Adobe servers to check the status of various libraries. Since you are loading this into a standard Flash Professional created swf, you are by passing some of the fallbacks that exist.
If the movieClip that you are creating is just a filler image, and you are just centering the FC swf, then I also recommend using CSS to display the filler and some HTML/CSS to center the content.
Hope this helps a little.
If you did the loading of the FC swf from a Flash Builder based project, you should not have the issue, since it is a Flex based SWF, the framework checks are already handled for you.

How to make a Flash site more searchable

Hi all,
I was wondering how to make a Flash site more searchable in
search engines. I'm guessing it is with meta tags, can anyone tell
me which meta tags or if there are any other hints or tricks.
Thanks,
MediaMan5335

Sad to say MediaMan5335, there's no real defined way to read
a Flash movie file. Currently there are tips and tricks to do it,
but all of them are merely patches to somethin long overdue and
needed. Since Google is setting the trend, the best way to gain
ranking is to follow their set of new rules.
There were several ways to gain rankings, whether is be
paying your way to the top, putting multiple links within your
site, or placing tons of words that would be read by spiders.
Google has multiple articles pertaining to Search Engine
Optizmization or SEO. Head on over to Google and just type in
"Google SEO" and you'll find a multitude of articles.
Right now to answer your question, META KEYWORDS and META
DESCRIPTION are your best tools for METAs. Having legit links
INBOUND and OUTBOUND will help.
Currently there a several companies working on allowing SWFs
to be read by Search Engines. Hopefully this helps answer your
question. SEO can be a daunting thing.

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.
     BPW
(Also, try to edit your second post -- black out your last name on the screenshot and re-post it for others)

I bought a composite AV cable with 30 pin connector at a proper apple store for my ipad 2 which no longer works now i have updated to ios7 - please advise how to make this work ?

I have the same problem.
Two similar discussions:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23081658#23081658
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23281391#23281391
I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?
Please let us know what feedback you got from asking Apple support.

How to make this in Adobe Photoshop CS5? PLEASE Help!

Hey guys, i reallllllllly want to know how to make this image in adobe photoshop.... the cone around the forecast track. Can you guys please show me how to do this? Id greatly appreciate it!

There's a lot implied here, but you're not going to get around having to do the following in general:
Use an unmarked map as a background.
Draw shapes on layer(s) above the background and make them partially transparent.
Obviously the key is to draw shapes that express the "cone of uncertainty" exactly as you want it to look, and with a minimum of fuss.
I'd suggest drawing shapes with Path tools, then filling the shapes, applying a stroke (for the edge border), and using masking to hide parts you don't want to show (or which overlap with the other parts you're drawing).
Are you needing to do this over and over or just once?

Keylight what? All I see is some effect similar to Leave Color, a.k.a the Pleasantville effect that made the rounds 10 years ago. It may require additional masking and otehr effects, but definitely not something that is specifically related to Keylight...

How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?

How to make adobe flash player content on websites run on safari browser of my ipad?do I have to install adobe flash player on my ipad ?

The flash add-on is not available for Safari on iOS. Never has been and in fact Adobe has ceased support for flash for mobile devices in general. Your options, depending on the specific sites:
See if the site or sites in question have their own apps availabel in teh app store
Look into some browsers such as Puffin adn iSwifter (there are others, I beleive). These browsers use a third server site to translate the flsh content into a form that the iPAd can use and restreams them to you. They may not work with all content.
Use a computer capable of running flash.
Seek a source of the conent that is designed for non flash use.

How to make this work flow?

Hi,
In a target database such like MySQl, I define a colum role to store the roels in SIM. Then, I want to make a post-workflow that set the account with related role which is defined in the DB after reconciliation and move those accounts from this DB to a specified organzation.
How to make this workflow?
If anyone know about this, kindly help me...
thanks..

Just a thought... Are you able to run this as activesync? If you use activesync you could just use a form or metaview to merge (or replace) your role value with waveset.roles and set the org for accounts that correlate.
