Ok so I made a basic flash menu for a website.
Next I make the website Index...
Now I'm stuck, I'm trying to get that flash on to my index, but how?
Can you do it on Image Ready?
Photoshop?
I'm lost...

Any help would be really appreciated

What?
whenever I try it on Dreamweaver.  My screen gets distorted and there's F logo, but it doesn't work

check you have the most recent flash plugin?

i dunno, i remember having this problem back like three years ago when they taught us dreamweaver at school.  the best solution is to screw dreamweaver, and do it in Flash and notepad

Is this a legit project or just a personal one?

I was going to make it a newbie website, Like the Wiki and Kara's FAQ all in one website and other freespace stuff

Ah, n/m my idea of Shockwave would be overkill.

*Voice of experience speaks*

Put FAQ type stuff on the wiki. It's a ***** to keep up to date on your own.  My own FAQ is getting really out of date now. Gotta move more of it over.

It was actually links to those places.
cause right now when a newbie comes we give him a bunch of different links.  I'll just organize them and add whats needed

Lesson 1) Never use WYSIWYG
Lesson 2) Never USE WYSIWYG

[jdjtcagle]

what is WYSIWYG??

[aldo_14]

What You See Is What You Get

Standard anacronym for GUI-based editing.  Key part of making programs and technology accessible.

in the case of HTML you should never your WYSIWYG - there are other things that it's ok for {fred2}

[Setekh]

WYSIWYG HTML ends up giving you terrible code that's completely messy and not useful if you want to change one tiny bit here or there. Create your HTML using a text-editor.

Ok, I fixed my problem  I was trying to enter a flash movie instead a flash player deal

I would say that depends on the HTML - if it's a quick & amateur site, then it's doubtful how much benefit you'd get from 'hand-coding' it.  Maybe cut out a few bits of obfuscated or unecessary code, but that stuff is invisible to the viewer anyways.

Although we should probably all be using XML/XSL/XHTML nowadays.

I prefer writing HTML and what-not in a text editor.

For my website, I'm going for XHTML. Not that tricky really.
