RE: FLASH: FAQ - A Newbie Guide

[Eric Stewart]

I'd be will to help, let me know what I can do. One thing that should be

added. "If you are asking the list to review your site, include the size of

your SWF!" I don't have time to look at 6MB or better sites in the middle of

the day. Thanks

Subject: FLASH: FAQ - A Newbie Guide



Well, I'm just going to send this out every Monday. I'll just add to my

5:30am tasks I do every Monday.

Unless I get a ton of flack from everyone . . .

This is by no means comprehensive . . You all will help, right?

Please e-mail me directly at:

infodesignthenet [dot] com (mailto:infodesignthenet [dot] com)

 for suggestions

and changes. Or, Feel free (I think) to discuss this here on the list to

make a good FAQ.


Welcome to the Flasher List!


Here are some helpful pointers to get you started using one of the most

valuable tools for developing with Macromedia's Flash� - this list!


-Be sure to explore some 'on-line resources' before submitting a question.

-Be sure your subject contains relevant info about your question. A subject

that says 'Site Check' should contain the url. A subject'Picture problems'

should say 'picture problems - red box', if that is the problem. This helps

kind souls willing to archive maintain ability to index the 100 or so

questions (almost 200 on Friday 6/16/00) this list gets daily.

-Please trim your posts. When replying - remove the ad at the bottom and any

other irrelevant information.

-Please make sure your system clock is correctly set so other people e-mail

programs can chronologically display the posts.


Macromedia has an extensive library of technotes with a search function!
