Quick update -- SlideShowPro (http://www.slideshowpro.net) has been updated to support AS3 as well as a bunch of other sweet features (such as a free PHP file which will automatically read all the...

Hey there!

Whoops - added confusion is not the goal :D

Maybe a different way to approach it would be to be more specific about what you're trying to achieve. Do you want to add event listeners...

Fantastic -- glad to hear it!!

Event listeners are usually set up this way:

addEventListener([event you're looking for],[function to trigger once event happens]);

So an example would be: ...

You might consider purchasing a premade script from places like FlashDen.net. I did a quick search and it yielded a ton of examples: (http://www.flashden.net/searches?term=image+viewer&type=flash)

I'd advise learning PHP and MySQL and reading up on search engine marketing and search engine optimization.

I'd also suggest using established open-source applications (Wordpress for blogs, PHPBB...

Hey there!

The web industry is great - I love it, I love the work, and it's allowed me to be my own boss for years. That said, there's plenty of downside too -- there are tons of web developers...

Hey there!

You're almost there -- there are just a couple small things that need adjustment in order to get this script up and running.

First, your variable name does not need quotes -- Flash,...

I'd suggest using SWFObject to handle the IE click to activate problem. As for reloading the page, you could load subsequent pages onto your main page using the IFRAME tag...

If you want certification, more power to you, but in my experience, all that clients really care about is your portfolio :)

Hey there!

Yup - because Microsoft changed the way they activate ActiveX Controls as part of a web page, IE users need to click Flash in order to activate the control. This was something Microsoft...

I have to agree with Marcosjp:

AS3 is the future of Flash and if you're starting from scratch, you might as well build a foundation with the tools that will be relevant for the longest. Besides, a...

Are you sure you're choosing "File > Save For Web & Devices" and not "File > Save As..." or "File > Save"?

If you're using Photoshop CS3, what you're going to want is to Save For Web.

1) Open your Photoshop file
2) Select File>Save for Web & Devices
3) This will bring up a new window. In the upper...

Unfortunately, watermarks are your best bet -- all other solutions can be worked around fairly easily.

I think iStockphoto (http://www.iStockphoto.com) handles it well -- the super-small...

Programming without design yields unusable applications. It's like a car with a nice engine but no doors.

Design without programming also yields unusable applications. It's like a nice car with...

It's definitely possible to switch the stacking order of symbols. The manner in which you do it differs in ActionScript 2 and ActionScript 3, though.

IN AS2:
You will use the method "swapDepths"...

If you want, you can also post the URL to the existing (broken) site and someone could tell you what's wrong in a couple of seconds :)

Personally, I think that Flash is a great application for handling photo albums. That said, a photo album is definitely an intermediate-level application, because as CoffeeChef said, you will need to...

It also depends somewhat on what type of images you're looking for. For example, if you're looking for free paper textures, you can get them here...

For software you'll need Adobe Flash CS3 (well, CS3 is the latest version). You'll probably also need Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 as well to get started. You can download a free trial version of Flash here...

The suggestions above are great. I also suggest that you make sure to spend some conceptual time thinking about the site itself:

Who this site is aimed at
