Could you give more info? You mention in your title "How Do I Build A Flash Website?", but here you write that the pictures don't flash as it's supposed to

Linking subpages in flash is done in flash (internally). You also have to define the x-y co-ordinates as well as the filename of the subpage. In a nutshell, you need to learn actionscript.

this should help:

This method also applies to flash 8

Hope this helps

1. open a website

2. Take a camera (digital or manual but make sure it has flash)

3. Make sure the flash on the camera is on

4. Take a picture of the website

Now you have a flash website.


good luck

Or maybe @saucekid did not have required Flash player being installed on his desktop computer or laptop to see his flash-based picture being loading on the website dynamically.

It causes a flash-based picture missed ("X" red picture) on the website.

i have the macromedia flash 8 software and when i design the pages with dreamweaver and export the flash doc into the finished page,it doesnt play the flash movies

@sauce kid from your first post I am sure the pages where built in flash so all you need do is make sure the name concept don't contradict if not the action scripts wont work

Building a Flash website demands that you use a lot of action scripts. and this for example should be gotoAndPlay("Frame Number" rather than goto("Frame Number" this will enable the page navigate to the next frame and play the action there while the other vanishes.

After creating a Flash movie you choose File > Save As from the top menu to save your movie. Save the file as "Somefilename.fla".

To embed the Flash movie you just made into an HTML page, you should go back to your Flash program and do the following steps:

Step 1
Choose File > Open. Open a Flash movie you have created.

Step 2
Choose File > Export Movie.

Step 3
Name the file "somefilename.swf". Choose the location where the file is to be stored (in your Web folder). Click OK.

Step 4
Open the HTML page where you want to insert your Flash movie. Insert this code:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Remember to edit the value parameter to the name of your swf file, also change the width and height

Note: This is the minimum code you need to embed a Flash movie in a browser. A broken icon will appear on the Web page if the user does not have the Flash plug-in installed.In the code above there is both an <embed> tag and an <object> tag. This is because the <object> tag is recognized by Internet Explorer, and Netscape recognizes the <embed> tag and ignores the <object> tag.


I hope this helps , Thanks

during the installation of flash, u're given the option of downloading a player, try installing that player.
