Workflow of Flash website creation

I am getting back into web design after taking a few years
off, and now that Adobe CS3 has all the tools I use in one place, I
am trying to come up with a workflow of the best way to take my
design from my sketch on a piece of paper to the web. This is kind
of my flow chart right now, but am interested in how others do it.
I like to learn from the best.
Design in Photoshop and save as a .psd file, then import to
stage in Flash. I leave the text "buttons" out of the import, then
re-create in Flash. When I am done, I publish the .swf and the
.html, then upload those files to my web server. Does that sound
about right? Or, would it be better to slice up the image in PS,
then import to Dreamweaver, and insert the Flash?
I did a lot of work with After Effects when I was editing
videos for people, and I was also wondering if I should create
animation using AE, then import that into Flash and save as a
movie? I am much better creating animation in AE then Flash, and I
find it not as frustrating, and I can do a lot more with AE.
I am tasked with creating a web site for a close family
friend for a 50th anniversary. My wife "volunteered" me for this,
which means lots of work, minimal money. Love those! It doesn't
have to be done until January, so I have lots of time to prepare. I
am "storyboarding" this now, but just thought I would ask you guys
the best way to get this published.
Thanks.

Both ways are good, it only depends on the topic of the site
that you are going to build.

Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
a flash site like
http://www.hockaday.org from an
easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
would be nice.
What I like best about
http://www.hockaday.org is the
great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
ways.
Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
nice things with pictures and motion?
I need to create a site like
http://www.hockaday.org
immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
my best bet?

you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
yet you need to build an entire site
immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
that is similar but if this forum is any
proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
decipher most templates in order to edit them
- search this forum, there are several posts per week from
non-flash users who purchased templates
and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
an educated flash user to
reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
documents are blank canvases that can be setup
a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
developers are more organized than
others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
together for a quick profit.
You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
it works or hire somebody to edit the
template for you.
hope this helps.

Reg: How to deactive seeded workflow process(HZ User Creation API worflow)

Dear Friends,
I do have a question for deactivate the seeded worflow process. Which means the current process i am not going to use anywhere. I needed to create the new process for Seeded worflow why because this is the worflow having some standard Procedure. Those procedure only will meet my requirement. In such case i wanted to create new processes in that going to call seeded procedure.
Could you please help me out how to deacivate the seeded processes from Oracle Standard workflow ( Name of the workflow is HZ USER CREATION API Workflow) Now current they are created for Customer creation processes. I didn't find currently where they are calling. My requirement is need to Create the new process for User-Id creation.
I hope everybody will understand my requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Velu.

Hi,
IIRC (and I haven't got a Workflow system handy to check), the Workflow is launched by a business event - if you disable the seeded business event, then that will stop the workflow launching.

How do I use Brige Web Gallery in a Flash website

Adding payPal shopping cart to a Flash website?

Hi there,
I'm a newbie, creating my first flash website and my first shopping cart, so be easy on me.
I've done a lot of research, however was unable to find any tutorials on how to set up a Paypal shopping cart or any other secured shopping cart in a website that was created in Flash professional CS5, actionscript 3.0. Paypal's tutorial is only for html (copy/paste the code in your html website and voila) but how to integrate shopping cart in Flash website? Any help would be appreciated.
This is my first time setting up a cart on a website. I have a "shop" button on my site (see picture below) that I would like linked to an external page preferably with my items that I would like to sale. Not sure if paypal's shopping cart can do what I want it to do. Once the user clicks on the "Shop" button, I'd like for my customer to be able to see a picture of the items I have for sale, price for each item, a box where the buyer can write quantity of item desired, add to cart button and then check out button. With paypal shopping cart, can I add pictures beside each item I am selling when entering the price on paypal's website or I have to add the pictures of the items I am selling directly in my shop section of my website and add a buy now button for each individual item and then copy/paste the email link provided by Paypal to each of my buy now buttons and add that code to my "Actions" layer within Flash? How would the script look like? And what if later on I want to add additional info to an item, change price or delete it completely...would I have to make the changes everytime within paypal only or I'd have to make the changes on both paypal and my flash file and upload new copy to server? I'd like for my cart to integrate with my site (keep the same look and feel, same layout/background color) preferably but what ever way is the easiest. Thanks for your help.

Any source that provides embed code to add to your webpage should work. So in other words if E-Junkie provides the HTML code that you simply embed in your own code it will work. If it requires a certain plugin be installed it may or may not.

How do I add an html link/banner to a page in my flash website?

I purchased a flash website template and am in the process of editing my main.fla file. In order to get listed on an advertising website with a higher rating, I have to place a reciprocal link to them on my site. However, I cannot figure out how to place an html link/banner on my site for other businesses. If I paste the html code in a text box, all that shows up is the html code rather than the image and link it is meant to generate. Please help!

Flash only supports a small amount of html in text areas. If what you re trying to include is within what it supports, then you assign the text to the textfield using the htmlText property of the TextField...
tfield.htmlText = "<a href="...">link</a>"; // will display "link" as a link

Firefox 3.6.8 still having problems loading heavy Flash websites

Upgraded to latest 3.6.8 Firefox version and noting it is still having issues loading heavy flash websites. Takes 5 to 6 times longer to load a webpage if there is Flash on it. I do have the latest version of Flash installed according to Adobe's website so that's not the culprit. Will be uninstalling this latest version and rolling back to the copy of 3.6.3 version I kept which worked great with all flash websites. Waiting for the problem to get fixed before I update again...hoping they can fix this. I noticed this problem starting back with version 3.6.6 and still hasn't been fixed with 3.6.8...
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.tsn.ca

The problem affects this page: [ http://gronnbil.no/biler]
The strange thing is that whenever I load the page with Firebug activated for this page, it renders the Flash instantly. But hardly ever (it does happen now and then, but mostly not) when I'm not using Firebug. I have tried disabling all plugins, running in Safe Mode, but it didn't help. I use Mac OS X 10.6.4 64-bit, FF 3.6.8. Ideas, anyone?

How do I create a hyperlink to a specific section of a flash website?

Ok, I have no experience coding in flash, I just want to
create links to specific parts of a flash website (website that
were created by other people, not that I am building). In other
words, I just want to create the hyperlink that will open a certain
section of the website - I'm not developing the site and I don't
want to create links inside the site. Is there any way to do this?
For example:
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/
is the flash site I want to link to. Wherever I navigate in
the site, the address never changes in my browser. But I know it is
possible to get a URL to a specific flash page, because I have seen
some of the web admins post them.
For example:
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/fracture/?section=2&sub=5
which opens a very specific section of the site. So is there
anyway for me, an average computer user with no experience in flash
coding, to get a hyperlink to open a certain section of a flash
site, or at the least get my browser to display the specific URL
(that is, the "?section=2&sub=5" part of the address). I use
firefox, but am willing to try anything or any browser at this
point.
Thanks!

My Flash sites use a section and subSection structure, and
within the site I use the numbers to display specific areas. But
it's done internally. I have no code that looks at a query string
attached to the URL so supplying the numbers to my sites will have
no effect. The example you give clearly does read parameters passed
in a query string so if you know the correct numbers (and the param
names eg 'section') then you can do it.

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...

How do I add tracking code to a Flash website?

Tracking software requires that you insert their code into the page you want to track (I'm using StatCounter). I installed a Flash website template and it just has one .html file where I can insert the code. That tracks visits to the first page with no problem but if a visitor clicks on different pages of the site, it doesn't get tracked. Does anyone know how and where to add code so that each page of the Flash site can be tracked?
Note, in my template a part of each page is found in different symbols. For example, the first column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES1 and the second column of every page is located in a symbol called PAGES2, and the third column located in PAGES3. Different layers within each symbol correspond to the different pages. So I'm at a loss of how I could get this tracking code to be able to track each page visit, since each page shares a symbol with another page. Anyone know?

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.
