looking for some opensource flas that look like www.oscardelarenta.com
my company doesnt want to pay an outside contractor and they are expecting me to do it.....I told them that I don't know flash but that I can learn it..... they then said that they don't want me spending more than a day to learn flash..... so I know that I am fucked...... I told them that I have to much other stuff to do to start it yet but I know the day is fast approaching when they will expect me to do it....
if yall are wondering ....I am an exec asst that provides design support to these knuckleheads because they are too cheap to pay for it....I am getting raped so if someone can help.....

you can go to flashkit there are lots of resources there. but, you will still have to learn flash to be able to use them correctly.
sounds like a sticky situation. you shouldnt have volunteered yourself to learn flash in a day. it took me much more than a day to learn. good luck.
frankly.. i think your company will have to pay for someome to make them a site that waks like that or they'll have to wait a few months while you learn how to do it yourself.

we'll do it. for pay.

exactly, no offense, but if you think you are going to learn the functionality behind that site in a day, plus have someone give you all that super quality work for free you must be crazy. :)

guess hydra missed that part. ;)
yeah you'll need to learn how to use flash first. the built in flash tutorials are a good start. then just work your way to flashkit, were-here...

Jazx, i think he has a day to learn flash, not build the site. if it's a day to build the site, uh....good luck.
- shellie0
unformatted.. do you think a day is enough to learn how to useflash to make something like that??
i suppose itdepends on if he has experience with other programing languages such as javascript and java. there are a lot of similarities and the suntax is fairly easy to learn if you know a bunch of other languages... but if he doesnt have lots experience with those a day is not enough. if a day.. a very long day and long nite :)
- JazX0
Ohhh, I see. Well that's a different story, you can do a lot of learning anyway. I gave him some nice links as well. ;) I wasn't trying to be a dick ;)

nigga's must be smokin'. dats cool though. peep FlashKit.
I have complete convidence atht you can pull off understanding and deeloping taht site in one day and/or Flash for taht matter.
*cough ( yea right ) *cough

you're set then! just kick back for a day, then spend the next three or four months "building" the site... learn as you go :P

shellie is right, java and flash, very similar. Actually Flash helped me learn some Java ;)
- Hydragraphik0
it's all motion tweens, just motion tween that bitch and you're set.
- JazX0
haa haa there's more to it than just that man ;)
- shellie0
Hydragraphik, are you for real?
*cough*idiot*cough*
- JazX0
although I like your stuff Hydragraphik nice werk dude! ;)
- Hydragraphik0
really Jax? what else is there? i thought i knew it all. hmmp.
- unformatted0
i think it's totally doable. it's not the most complex transitions. but yeah it all depends on his background.
- Hydragraphik0
yeah i'm just screwin' aroyund guys... ya got me.
honestly thou... what he's asking is crazy talk. you can't learn Flash in a day or develop a site in a day. A nigga needs time. That's all I'm sayin. If he has some time, then tehre's a chance it can happen. I don't question his or anyone's ability to learn/comprehend software or Flash, it's just the logistics behind what he's asking.
Ask/beg/plead for more time ... then deliver a kick ass site. :) Good luck dude. :)
