For somebody who is new to flash you might not be able to make something that good just yet, however if you borrow some art and animation from flashkit you might be able to spice up your work.

-how to include flash in my website

The best way to include flash while still following web standards is the flash satay method. If you don't care about making your page valid html you can just search on google "include flash html" and you should get plenty of results telling you how to do this.

Well, if you don't already have it, you'll need adobe flash ($699). Adobe offers it for $249 if you're a student.

flashkit. You could also try a google search for "flash preloaders".

And once again I'd recommend flashkit. I'm sure there are plenty of other websites out there but I've used flashkit for years and it hasn't let me down yet.

hello

you can use Swishmax to make a Cool animations, you can find also a templates and working under it...

how to insert flash, you can use Frontpage or Dreamwaver, if you can't get this ones u can use a free WYIWYG software and there is a bunch just google it..

You can find a Cool flash websites Templates at http://templates4all.blogspot.com they are free to download and free to edit also.

Yes there are some awful pieces of software that are cheap or even free that generate swf's but if you want preloaders and the ability to script your swf's you really should invest in Adobe Flash.

Actually using dreamweaver or frontpage is the last way I would recommend inserting flash. First of all they don't generate a valid way of including flash in your webpage, and they also include a bunch of useless params that don't really do too much. And you don't really learn too much what every line does, you are just copying over blocks of code mindlessly. If you really want to embed flash into your website and learn what you are doing, I'd suggest google than any programs that generate the code for you.

well thank you very much....galexcd

you have answered each of my questions ....and your answers are going to be very useful to me...
yes I m a student..and would try to get adobe flash...but its too costly for me...even the student discount price..
the site u suggested is awesome and just the right thing I was looking for....it has numerous tutorials...which I am going to need...

well there is something I would like to know..if I include flash in my website would the size of pages..increases considerably ...so would I be needed to increase the bandwidth which I have got..

well thanks again..I would ask again for your help...while I m working on my site...

Flash will dramatically increase your wibsite's size and if you have a lot of users the bandwidth will suffer.

With a flash site you probably wouldnt have seperate pages, you would have one HTML page which has the flash embedded in it, and then the flash itself would contain different pages.

you will not be able to learn flash and create something as good as the web page you linked. That site probably cost several thousand dollars to create because it is extremely good. My advice is, if you're not going to generate money from the site then forget flash, it is far to expensive to buy if its not going to earn you money. Instead use animated Gifs for dynamic images/banners and use Javascript to create pop-up effects (but not popup windows, im talking about clicking a link and the rest of the page dims down and a panel is shown containing text).

If you intend on creating your own blog you might need to learn and use PHP or a similar language unless you want to manually edit/create HTML pages each time.

Alternatively look on the intergoogle for "adobe flex" it is a free, open source XML style language that is used to create flash files. you manually create code (unless you buy flash builder for like 500 dollars) and then run it through a compiler that turns it into SWF pages. It will take a VERY long time to learn to create stunning effects like the site you linked, however it can do some very cool stuff!

If you want a fully effective Flash Web Page , the Programming Languages you will need to learn are XML , ActionScript , Javascript and Some HTML. And then you'll need weeks to put it together. Flash websites are extremely complicated and are very time consuming , but are effective if pulled off. Good luck smile.gif

I think I can answer the first and the second question. You should check if you have installed Adobe Flash Player in your web browser and upload the flash file to your host's web server. Then you can embed the flash file to web page with HTML code like the code below (for .swf):
CODE
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"  width="432" height="330" title="game">
      <param name="movie" value="/flash/game.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <embed src="/flash/game.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="432"  height="330"></embed>
    </object>


If that dosen't work, you can use a tool called Moyea Web Player Pro - http://www.flash-video-mx.com/web-player-pro/, it's a flash video player maker. Do you know what is flash video player? check it in google. This tool can add flash videos and other videos to a web page, I tested it on my PC and it works. Perhaps this tutorial is also helpful: http://www.flash-video-mx.com/webplayer-re...to-website.html
