Thanks for the advice. I LOVE this site!! I'm a newbie...
I've been learning a bit of basic Flash - from an H.O.T book - I couldn't afford to go on a course basically... it's a good book, but the jump to doing "cool" sites - like www.admire.se - seems like a massive leap... well beyond the book.
I'm hoping Actionscript is the key.

yea Im pro Flash, shaft
and I think Flash would make me bigger bucks [at present]

^ shaft is right the biggest downfall with flash is W3c standards that are geared to html and the fact it cant be spidered.

http://www.admire.se - i think it took more 3D/photo retouching skills than flash.
- nRIK0
yep i agree with that too, cuz im pro W3C standards as well ;]
but you cant really compare standards when talking Director VS Flash..
still, good point

You think so Shaft? That would be a person doing lots of 3D images, then a reasonably simple process of Flash movie-style construction - jumping from frame to frame etc..?

trousermouse thats's 3d with some after effects, compiled together in flash which gives the interaction. also check out these guys from yesterday

Fuck. It's not easy this 'go from standard design to web' lark is it...?

The real question is not so much flash vs director vs w3c. It is much more a question of where the internet is going. In my opinion Google will reshape the internet, since there are talks they will come with their own Online OS, where all you need is a computer, a browser and a connection. When that happens the net will become the desktop, fully integrated. Probably that will change a thing or two

"lighten up".
you're truly a fucking idiot.

Learning html from source code - good, some say it's the best way. Learning from decompiled Flash - bad. It's not that clear to me, I smell a bit of hipocrisy.
I'm not talking stealing code here, just education.
I never had the dilemma though, there weren't really good decompilers in my early Flash days.

the only use for decompilers is for developers to learn how to code against their use and make them useless.

you can learn some smooth tween actions though and the speeds in which they are executed to be honest.

html source is not server side code where all the goodness happens. you rarely get to see that.
decompiling a swf gives you the lot

You get the JS goodness and CSS sweetness :)
- GeorgiePorgie0
there is sweetness involved? you mean like sugar/azucar?

When I release a swf I keep in mind somebody might see the code, just as in html. It's a client-side technology after all.
And the only worry could be that someone would see my messy code, it'd be like getting caught in dirty undies.
So this is how decompilers help me self-improve and take more care about my code structure.

And I didn't say I was happy about my code being easily visible, but neither was I with html.
