gabemagggic · Apr 10, 2009

I love making webpages with javascripts and php and html codes
but I can't make a flash homepage...

The theory11 page is very cool with a lots of flash.

So if you can please send me links about flash homepage tutorials and please send me links about real flash homepages...

Flash homepage's tend to not be very good for many reasons. It is better to have a PHP/HTML/Coded website with Flash embedded into the website.

You will need Flash MX, in order to animate images in Flash.

Don't have a flash website, they look to corny. But if your serious you will need Adobe Flash CS4 from HERE, which goes for around $400. ;-]

The key to a website:

content - design - architecture - purpose all need to match and work off of each other.

You can have a brilliant website with an amazing design, but if the architecture of the site is terrible, and users have no idea where things are located, than your site fails.

You can have great architecture, great design, decent content, but if you are using flash, when you dont need to be, you are "over doing" the site, and again, the site has failed.

T11 uses some flash, as do other sites, because they have many artisits to showcase, many tricks to showcase, many different pages, and overall, just a lot of information that is equally important to the user that they want to to be easily accessed. This is why artists (photographers, movie makers, painters, etc...) use flash, because it provides an easy interface for the user to view all of the work in an artisitc way in itself.

As a magician, I hardly see why you would want to even use flash? A brilliant web page only needs brilliant CSS coding and the matching graphics to go with it (photoshop / illustrator).

For example, please direct your attention to the following site: http://www.csszengarden.com

The entire design of the site/ and lay out sometimes, changes completely depending on which design you, the user, picks from the menu on the site. The only thing that changes when this happens is the line of code specifying the CSS file and the relevent graphics that go with it.

For help, I highly suggest visiting W3 schools : http://www.w3schools.com/

have fun.
