FLASH: efficient flash site design

[Michael Hensel]

Hi everyone,


Does anybody know about a good book or other source, which is going into

details of the process of creating an efficient flash site. Like: when to

use scenes and when to use movies. As well as the overall timing and

creating process of the site.


I am not an expert in Flash, but I think I can create a nice site with lot's

of different effects. The problem is the file size. I know you can do

optimization, but if you plan your site from the beginning, you minimize

that process.


I did take some Flash classes already, but they didn't even teach the tell

target functions. For most of my sites I am using scenes, which I think is

not the right thing to do, because I copy and paste a lot of the same

symbols on every scene.


You can check one of my site's at www.triwfx.com, maybe you can get an idea

of what I am talking about. If there are any people interested in maybe

meeting once a week for a flash chat and you are in the Long Beach, CA area,

please contact me at:

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

.


I hope someone can help me teaching me the basics of creating a site

navigation (Tell Target/Movie/Scene).


Also, thanks to Branden for you helpful input, you are a true flash master.


I just signed up for an advanced Flash class with Scott Hamlin in February

in Atlanta, hopefully he will be able to help.


Thanks for any input


Michael Hensel
