Hi all,

I'm after a couple (2 at the most) people who are good with Macromedia Flash MX to work with me on a couple of anims for the new DB websites. Payment is available via software/dbdn or cash if you're really bloody good.

Email me some URLs where I can see your work or email me some SWF files.

I am NOT looking for fading/zooming text stuff, I'm after presentations of information.

[email protected] - email me if you have questions, will not answer them in this thread, no time.

Cheers,

Rich

I would but it seems you already have 2 and plus, I haven't done Flash in quite a while so I'd be a bit rusty.

Please keep flash to an absolute minimum on the new sites. Thx.

I have to agree with you Rob K, flash is so over used an entirely unnecessary. I would rather it not appear at all but I'm sure Rich will be sensible with it
Can't wait to see the new site!

I pride my flash work not only on content but how small I can get it down to.

Bit of a pain this trend to more and more elaborate web sites. I prefer speed, speed, and of course speed - and absolute clarity through simplicity.( and lack of images). And not just beacuse my so-called 56k connection tends to run about 1.5 - 3 kbsec!

But what can you do? Many expect and prefer a fancier site - an entertainment in itself. If you are a commercial site, you must appeal to the likely user.
Ah well, as long as the forum doesn't get any slower .. or gets faster ??

Flash will be used for product demonstrations - not "site content" per se. I.e. I want people to be able to watch an on-line session of the DBPro Editor starting up, code going in, compiling, running, etc. For this Flash would be the best solution IMHO.

You won't see it in the forums, fear not.

Cheers,

Rich

Thanks Rich, I don't mind when Flash is used for sensible purposes like this where you don't have to use Flash to see the site, just when it becomes the mainstay of the site worries me.

Most flash sites are actually tiney, all the media that is used like Sounds & Images which are used anyways are what makes it so damn'd slow to load - only difference between a normal site & a flash site is you can't skip the loading of the media if you want to.

ironically Flash sites actually load faster than standard HTML sites, but then they do use smaller compiled Java as apposed to lenthy runtime interpreter code.
I mean even a Jpg will be compressed as gzip, which most sites don't use that which i don't understand to be honest - all systems support it now, and its a matter of a 64kb download if they don't could host it on the site itself ... and you can have Zip compression on the fly, used all the time for VRML sites and they load like lighting.

gotta love the new FlashMx coding setup, you have so much power in that prog now

might i suggest trying this? i'm not endorsing it, but i've used it and it would seem to be a possible solution for you.

i'm quite hot at flash, but this certainly took a lot of work out of making a fruity presentation for work in a short space of time.
