  this job was an attempt at giving a close friend an engaging interactive website that triumphs over the HTML template that her previous "web masters" were capable of. Its been fun getting back into flash after almost 2 years away from fulltime developing, i do not write code well.. the only language i have ever been fluent outside of english is ActionScript1and2. So all the ideas of css/jquery/whatevercodenowdoes"f... well that would never be an option or desire for my work. I dream of a web where i need to know fewer programming languages not mash html/css/jquery/rubyonrails/ajax up together to get similar effects as the tweener.as file i import in a single line into my .swf.

  i know people that develop in other platforms have concrete reasons to say im re-inventing the wheel to get something accomplished in the flashplayer, well fuck it! its the only devapp i am comfortable in and i think a couple million websites and 98%saturation of the flash player prove something... its a powerful tool so why not try to use it?

  • if you're learning stuff you will use again then more power to you.airey
  • i'd be more concerned that all your hard work is visually less appealing than the old template site. at the moment.airey
  • i think the visuals are extremely original and artisticPupsipu
