Hi all,

Long time lurker here, glad to make my first post! :)

The thing is that I really need to update my company web page to something on par with the competition, so I found a (in my opinion) nice flash template that I really wan't to use. I browsed the web for almost a week, and this is the only one that I really like.

I have edited it so I have a good start, but once I uploaded it to my web server (one.com) the main menus dissapear. I also opened a free web hosting service and uploaded it there just to see if it was my provider that has something faulty, but the result is the same. It's the same with the original (unedited) files. The funny part is that the design looks just perfect residing in a folder on my computer.

Can someone please help me out? It drives me crazy...

I have access to Flash CS5, but I prefer to edit the text directly in the xml and html docs.

Thanx! =)

Regards

Is there a specific reason why you want to use flash? Is the site going to have complex animations and intriguing navigation? If not then don't use flash, use HTML and Jquery.

I wan't to use flash as a means of impressing my clients. Simple as that! (I will also have a standard html version for those who can't display flash, think iPhone etc).

I am not going plain html/JS. :)

Side note - When I try to list sent messages in the User CP there are "0" items... Is the PM send function offline, or is it just a text report bug?
Have you guys received the pm's?

yeah I too got a PM, but a zip file at 85mb? I wasnt going to open it. couldnt be assed. I've got download limits you know. thats almost a full albums worth of mp3s!

as for impressing your client. they wont be too impressed when they check on their grannys computer (who doesnt have flash and uses ie6) of all things the navigation is clearly one of the more important parts of a website, and as such it needs to be accessible to all. personally i'd ditch flash, I havent had a need for it in at least the last 18months...

Amen to ditching Flash, I have been Flash free for almost a year and my load times and returning visitors have improved exponentially.
