need some help in what direction

Aug 7, 2012 2:31 PM

OK, so i just got CS6 and have been watching lynda,com videos on flash pro. Im wanting to build a website like the one at helpmeinc.com. What im confused with is what programs with cs do i need to make a menu like that. Do i need to create a SWF file for each item and have a video play with a EventListener for a hover from the mouse because that seems like a lot of work. Do i need to work in dreamweaver as well as flash builder and flash pro?  what programs do i need to learn to accomplish what i want? ( moreso the menu function and how to build a nice interactive menu)

 

Thanks for the help before hand!

    From what I can see the site you identified is what would be considered a Flash site, meaning it is a single Flash swf file that contains every section of the site, including the animated menu and the pages that the menu accesses.  I did not go thru the entire menu to confirm that though.

     

    So what you might want to do is search Google using terms like "Flash website tutorial"... I don't know if Lynda.com has any, but if you are familiar with things there you might check it out.

    That is a Flash site, so that is a Flash menu... you can build it using Flash Pro... except for any special imagery that you might need to prepare outside of Flash.
