i work for a company that is interested in learning how to do flash headers and shows/news sections


here are examples of the kind of things we'd like to be able to do.

Headers: myspace.com/lifeonrepeat , myspace.com/settingsband , myspace.com/lydia

Shows/News sections: myspace.com/holding onto hope

we also want to working with flash for websites, and hopefully helping me and the rest of the staff learn the program as well.

let me know if you could help or know of any tutorials or anything.

thanks.

You should hit up Gio (crusha) for flash stuff, he's really good. thumbsup.gif

I can do the things that you have there, you can take a look at my site here:

If you need resources as to how to learn flash, there's a lot of material on the Adobe site. That's how I learned: go to the 'How To' section on Adobe TV online under 'Channels', and click on the 'Flash' section. You can also search 'Learn Flash Professional CS4 - Getting Started'. EDIT: Here's the first video

In addition, if your company is only trying to make flash banners and little snippets, you might be better off using a program like Swish and integrate with HTML - it's sort of a simplified version of Flash that is much more accessible to beginners without the big cloud of learning Actionscript from scratch.

But when it comes to learning how to do news/shows sections (I'm not entirely sure what you mean, the link you gave doesn't work) you should probably get your hands on PHP/MySQL. These are languages that help you store and work with data without having to make the big hassle through big blocks of code to make small updates. But if you're doing little things, then you might just stick with what you have.

What sort of experience does your company have? What languages do they know already?
lucasnotreally
sorry, here is the myspace with the updates/shows section.

this is the main thing we want to learn how to do,

Is your "company" paying someone to teach you all how to use flash? If so I know someone that may be willing to do it at the right price.

we are more so looking for someone to do the flash stuff, until we take the time to learn it. you will get payed for what you do.

but we are a small company of broke college guys, and don't have unlimited funds, so if you're asking for a crazy amount, go somewhere else..

and we are a company, no need to be a dick.

lucasnotreally
