Flash site making

[YeYeR00]

Can someone please tell me what is a good way of making a flash site if you made a the whole site out of adobe photoshop 8.0(CS) and just turn it into flash? again what is the best way to make it by taken what you have in PS and turning it into flash? either post it up here or just email me pimpdatee@comcast.net

Thx

It depends on what you have in mind. If you dont have any particular effects or means of interaction you wish to apply, its probably better staying with standard html. If you really want to depend fully on flash then i cant think of a better method than save for web.

Just remember that making a full flash site with a lot of info in mind is a little off track, as flash is difficult to operate (if you want to update you have to upload the whole file again etc.) For rich-text sites its better to let the html/php operate and let flash top it all off. But thats only my opinion.

Well.. if you have PS 8 it's very simple...

When in PS with your design active just press ctrl+M (this will take you to ImageReady) And in IR go to file>export>macromedia flash... This way you create a swf file with all the different objects seperatly imported into flash... This is one of the advantages of PS v8 over v7...

THIS is not true... you can use the same methods of dynamicly loading content in flash as you would do in HTML... i.e. using XML, PHP MySQL.
