week 9 flash

write about using flash...the challenege and fun of using this new technology...

Flash i found was so so so much better than dreamweaver. you can make funky animations that require little effort if you know what you are doing. You can make games using flash that are effective for websites. today i went to kirupa.com and followed some tutoirals i learnt how to make the text flash, move across the screen and how to make buttons. i went home and played with the aplications more and found that i could incorporate sounds into the buttons when i rolled over pushed or ran my cursour over it.. i also discovered how to make a hyperlink. i thought that using flash was a challenge but the end result is more effective then using any other application that i have seen. when i researched different sites for inspiration for my final website I found that my favourite ones incorporated flash as the maiin tool used on there site. i researched mostly lounge bars clubs and fassion houses. one in particular really stood out and this was www.jeanswest.com.au it incorporated a virtual changeroom which included a maniquin and a rack of clothes that you can mix and match to help you find a style and a price range that suits you. this is a simple technique to sat your website apart from competitors and to help the consumer save time when shopping....

I really want to get good at using flash because i think it makes your website look better makes it more interactive. i also think going for a job and knowing flash would give you an edge over other people.
