Erm... Graphics... They would be nice, but without spending alot of money how do I get some nice effects to my site?
All I really want is some nice rollover buttons (the techgear ones are cool) and obviously some kind of matching theme.
And how do you do that floating menu? That is cool as pooh !!
Okay, I am a novice, and I aint gonna run before I can walk. Whats the best web program to use? I am currently using NetObjectsFusionMX, but apparently Dreamweaver is better (I dunno).
Right I am gonna finish now before this turns into an essay... thanks alot guys, you have always been really helpfull.

Glad you like it, I made that in FlashMX.. it's not so hard if you get to uderstand how to use the program Flash itself, it has alot resemblence with how Adobe Photoshop works. Thats where I started with, to get to know Photoshop, then I got a book about Flash Action script.. and it appeared it was allmost the same as mIRC scripting lol, started to do some excercizes, but I'm the type that runs before walking (if you would ask me how to do a motion tween, then actually I cant tell for sure lol but I do use them) and you can find alot of things on the internet, also free "fla's" to download (fla = source of a .swf). www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=flash+animation+buttons&as_q=download+flaI use Frontpage as HTML editor, the rest I do in notepad (simple PHP adjustments etc..) I'm not sure what is the best HTML editor, I'm used to frontpage and all I want is that the tags highlight so the overview is easy, so it doesnt really matter in my case. Hope that helped  |

Thanks mate So what ya saying is all the components like rollovers and floating menus, etc, etc are done in flash.. and that flash is upgradable from the internet (by add-ons etc). Cool, I started with Frontpage so maybe that be the better option then. How do you get the flash stuff to appear in the page then? Fair play, I know nowt ! Gimme a vb topic and I am there ! lol Anyway.. thanks again. |

I'm not sure if FLASH is upgradable, if you mean the viewer you need to have installed to view it then yes it is.. here's how you embed it (for example):
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID="top"
WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=100>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.webagent007.org/tgbanner.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=exactfit>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=opaque>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000>
<EMBED NAME="banner"
src="http://www.webagent007.org/tgbanner.swf"
quality=high scale=exactfit wmode=opaque bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=100
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
swLiveConnect="true"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?
P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
