XyberForce 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2007 Does anyone here use Macromedia Flash? I use it for everything. Signatures, graphics, class projects, and of course animation and game making. I also use it for web design. Mostly for web design, ie: Flash navs, flash banners, music players. I'm not really that advanced yet, only know intermediate actionscript..but I'm getting there. If you want to see what I can do, I put everything and anything I knew at the time on this site: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. Well, that was more of an introduction, than a discussion really. Back on topic, anyone here use flash besides me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markymark2 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2007 Like most serious webdesigners I know about Flash can program it, but only ever use it when I cannot talk a client out of it.I am soo glad that Flash is no longer the craze it used to be with every person thinking that thier site should be written in flash , without knowing why , just cos its Flash!I find it too cumbersome for what most sites want, i.e most sites just use it for banners these days, some people still design whole sites in it but there ones are normally the showstopping sites used to promote a movie or a big retail brand.The money involved to develop such a site is amazing! ive seen people charged 20K dollars just for a working framework of a site without content.I hope Flash just kind of dies away and gets replaced with funky Ajax scripts, Ajax has more of a future as far as I am concerned;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wutske 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2007 I recently started using Macromedia Flash for making a simple flash website for a friend's project. Nothing too fancy, motion tween here, motion tween there and a few simple actionscripts . Most difficult part is the mailing system, it'll be a bit complicated to make that in flash completely ... still thinking about how to make it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the average person prefers flashing colors and animated roll-overs I guess. People who have been using the WWW for a while find it overrated. As for me, well I think Flash is flash. It has a lot of uses, heck even Youtube chose Flash to power it's engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
takashiro1405241549 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2007 I am just learning how to use Flash 8!! It is too difficult for me to manage. Especially the action script. I always forget the function I learnt before. However, I will not stop! And we can communicate with each other while learning! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
