Flash Site Navigation Headache!!!!!
Posted by Wallpe70 at 8/28/2006 9:12:33 PM
I am building my first Flash web site. I have the home page built to my satisfaction. It's complete with an animated icon, movie and drop down menus.

Re: How do I see entire .fla as timeline?
Posted by AlliCT59 at 8/26/2006 12:40:31 PM
Thanks for the info. Now I know it was just a stupid question. I guess coming from the non-linear Avid/Final Cut/After Effects world, you just sort of get used to being able to see the enire forest sometimes. I'm still working on the gestalt of how all the template files work together. ...more >>

Posted by AlliCT59 at 8/26/2006 12:25:57 AM
Purchased template. Modified the template. I want to insert extra pages. How can I see the entire timeline at once, or does it matter? Each page of the template is a movie clip. And what are these index1.html, index2.html etc. files? Shouldn't there just be ONE index file? ...more >>
