Ok...get me started?

All right all you geniuses,
I would like to start to venture into making websites in
flash 8, I have been playing around with the software, i can't
figure out a thing, i have no professional training in flash or web
design, I have just taken a few classes in my free time. I am fine
with html/css based websites, and am starting to learn PHP. So...
could someone give me some pointers on how and where to start in
making a website in flash 8? Please feel free to email me at
[email protected] , that address can also be added to msn
messanger.

I can empathize; that's how it was for me when I first
started!

Neither do I. :)

I've read quite a few books over the years and have gotten
quite a bit
from reading the documentation that ships with Flash. Haven't
taken any
classes, though.

Well, Flash is quite a bit different from HTML, that's for
sure.

Actually, that's not really how these forums work. As a
general rule of
thumb, questions are both asked and answered here publicly.
The reason that
works out so well is that even onlookers, who may share may
of your own
questions, have a chance to learn from the experience of
others. Private
consultation is something different, and most people I know
tend to charge
for that.
To get started ... heck, I'd say hit that trusty F1 key and
start with
the documentation. In fact, there's a section entitled
"Getting Started
with Flash" that should kick-start the whole thing for you.
There are
sections that guide you if you have experience with other
programming
languages or if you don't; if you're a web designer or if you
aren't; if you
have a basic understaning of Flash but want to catch up; and
so on.
Work through a good helping of that and do some
experimentation. When
you come up with specific questions, be sure to post them to
one of these
forums. If you can narrow down your questions, you'll find a
handful of
helpful regulars here to answer as best they can.

  • I just got my brand new Iphone 4 at work!! Can I create an itunes account and get it started (no music files here at work)....then when i get home- I can fill it with the files I want?? I dont want to wait!!!!

    so..basically- can I sync my phone here to get it started, and then continue playing at home?  I have no intentions in ever transferring anything from my work computer- but I want to get this up and running!

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.

  • When I click on links in my e-mail, I get the Start Page instead of the link page

    Hello:
    When I click on an e-mail link, I get my Start Page instead of the
    Link Page. My e-mail is Thunderbird and my default browser is
    Firefox.
    Thanks

    This is a known bug, and has been for years. It occurs when Firefox is your default browser and some glitch (or program) changes that default. Thankfully, there's a fairly easy fix, though it does involve monkeying around in the Registry.
    (Note: These instructions apply to Windows Vista and 7 only.)
    1. Click Start, type regedit, and then press Enter.
    2. Navigate to the following entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec
    3. In the center pane, double-click the Default entry, then remove whatever value is there (it'll probably be a weird string of numbers and commas).
    4. Click OK, then exit Regedit.
    5. If Outlook and/or Firefox are open, close them, then restart them.

    I am using windows 7 pro this issue has drove me crazy for some time, now finally it's fixed by doing the exact same steps as above, hope this works for everybody that is having this problem. I just had to share this with my fellow firefox users. :)

  • Upon start up I get a start up disk full message and to delete files, now I only get a a blue screen on start up. How to I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files?

    Upon start up I get a "start up disk full message, delete files". Now on startup I only get a blue screen. How do I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files.

    That;s really not enough free space... you can use a tools such as OmniDiskSweeper to find out where your large files reside and begin pruning (or copying to an external if they're files that you want to keep).
    One thing is certain - if you're going to continue your current usage you're certainly going to need to install a larger boot drive.

  • Getting the start  and end dates of the week

    Hi,
    I was stuck with a problem in getting the start date and end date of the week,i know the month ,week and year also,with these three values how can i get the start and end dates of a week.please help me
    Thanks

    There is no simple way. It has to be a math calculation.
    There are several ways you can get the dates. First you have to know what day is January 1st and what day is december 31st for a particular year. Second you have to check whether the given year is a leap year or not. Based on the abvove information you should be able to find out what day is a particular date.
    Hope this helps to get you started.

  • I recently purchased a powerbook 1400c/133 at a yard sale and need to know where to find a 24v,1.9a adapter to get it started?

    I recently purchased a macintosh powerbook 1400c/133 at a yard sale and was wondering where i could get a 24volt,1.9a adapter to get it started?

    Sandy,
    If you enjoy yard sale shopping you should also look for computer recyclers in your area.  The ebay power supply Jeff pointed to is a good price and has free shipping. The free shipping makes it nice because you do not have to leave home to get it.  On the otherhand, recyclers may have other accesories and spare parts all in one location.  They will often match or beat the price of an online source.  Happy hunting.  That is a very capable computer for its day.

  • (Example) Books to get me started

    Hi,
    I am new to Java programming and besides the Herbert Schildt's, "Java2: The Complete Reference" book (required by instructor), I would like to purchase some other books to get me started into the subject.
    I am specially interested about books loaded with examples; I am more of a practical learner vs an abstract one.
    Please post your recommendations.
    Thanks.
