So you want to make a Flash website, well we will give you some tips on how to start to build one. The first thing I have to tell you is that you must have patience when building a flash website for the first time. It is definately much easier to build a html website than it is a Flash website.
First Thing Is First
You will need Flash Software, you cannot build a Flash website using programs like Dreamweaver or any other html based programs. If you dont want to buy a copy (since it is pretty pricey) of Flash right away, you can download a 30-day fully functioning demo here.
You can scroll down to quickly view the How To Build A Flash Website Youtube video, it covers the basics on building a flash website without getting into the super technical issues of Flash. In the video you will learn :
- The Difference between the stage and timeline
- Using The Rectangle and Text Tool
- How to create a backdrop
- Create buttons that direct to different sections
- Accessing the properties and action panels
- Stop Actions
- Goto Actions
- Testing Your Flash Website
Building A Flash Website
To upload your newly built flash website you will need to upload your site using FTP software.

The hard part of flash web sites is database connectivity. I find it hard to implement that in my works. There is always a thing that I didn’t consider, and that makes me quite angry sometimes :).

Nice tutorial. I am sure that my friend will find it useful. He wants to learn flash and this is just the thing for him to get started.

Nice and simple tutorial. I wonder how was I when I started learning. I think I started with some tutorial similar to this one. Anyway, the better the beginner tutorials the better the future web designer/developer

We will have a database tutorial since more and more people are feeling more adventurous these days.

I think I’ve seen this one before but I don’t remember when… Not long ago that I am sure of. It’s pretty simple but easy to follow, so yeah.. great job with it. Keep up the good work.

Omg. This was exactly the thing that I was looking for. Nice and simple. Ahm.. I am doing it right now. I’m really excited
Can’t wait to finish it. Thanks for sharing it! Really worth it!

Nice and easy to understand tutorial. Thanks
March 28th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
A database tutorial will be really good too. But this was an excellent tutorial
March 28th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I’ve just began design with Flash. That was a simple and easy to understand tutorial. Keep more coming
March 28th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
This is the simple part. The hard part comes when we have to implement a connection with a database of some sort and ask it to retrieve some sort of information. Grete tutorial, keep them coming, and please consider making a tutorial about dynamic content. Thanks.
March 28th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Right Simon. A tutorial about Dynamic content will be great.
March 28th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Easy to understand tutorial for beginners like me.
March 28th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
I already do know most of that stuff anyway but it was a nice video
March 28th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Not easy to understand video
March 28th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Just what I have been looking for!
March 28th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
It would be nice to see some advanced flash tutorial videos as well
March 28th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
This is a very nice websites. So many free learning materials
March 28th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Access flash videos is blocked at my workplace. Is there any text version of the video somewhere on here?
March 28th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Thanks
March 28th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
I must admit it is a simple tutorial and that it is easy to follow. I am new to flash, but the thing is this tutorial seems to be to simplistic. Like the others said, we need a little extra. Keep them coming
March 28th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
This tutorial is nice. I wonder how hard it is to actually start creating more complex applications. I know that the dynamic content comes from the server, any thoughts on how to connect to a PHP script?
March 28th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
I think that the whole actions layer is a basic thing and the main lesson about how flash navigation works. Nice tutorial keep up the good work.
March 28th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
I am currently working on a project that involves something similar to a website. This tutorial answered my questions about this matter. Thanks for this. I can now finish my presentation in time.
Keep up the good work.
March 28th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Hey that’s a nice video! It’s well made. I am a video tutorial creator myself and I must say this is quite a good tutorial. However, as the others said, you should have considered adding the content from a PHP script for example.
March 28th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
This tutorial look really nice and it’s easy to follow. I will try it and see what I can come up with. I am a newbie so this is hard enough for me, no need for extra PHP stuff

April 7th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
