Flash Websites I am itnerested in turning my boring website into flash....something like: Parmelyphotography.com. Now I understand that you need macromedia to do it. Does anyone know what version to use? What bout instructions on building it since I know nothing about Macromedia? If anyone has any information on this please let me know! Thanks! Janessa

i was just reading the 2006 photography market and they say to try to stay away completely or use very little Flash, animations or music on your site if its to be used to sell your work or to present your work to potential clients.If its just to show your friends then its ok. The reason? it loads slower, its confusing to some people and it makes it hard to navagate around the site... and some...(allot..me included) hate to have to click around through multiple pages and waiting for graphics to load when looking for specific images. Just a thought, if its for a business a good rule of thumb... K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid!) but I dont like that saying because your not stupid so heres my version.. "Keep it stupidly simple" lol good luck! Craig-

I agree. I own a design firm and we don't promote flash sites. Flash components, sure, but entire flash sites, no way. All the problems Craig listed are true. You don't need flash to make a good photography site. All you need is good design. Take a look at www.cssbeauty.com. This site features great sites that use CSS(Cascading Style Sheets), very similar to html. You will see that good design will beat out moving objects and music anyday. You don't need gimmicks. Remember less is more. Cliche but true. Chuck
