    IE9 problem (possibly CSS related)

    Insert this line of code right before the title tag: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> That will make your site render as if the visitor were using IE8... All IE9 problems are thus resolved. Simple. -Lou

    Photoshop to Flash

    Please try not to take offense. If you build the entire site in Flash (good luck with preloaders), and it wasn't AMAZING, then if I were your teacher I'd take points off for you building it entirely in Flash. -Lou

    How To Put A Book On The Web?

    I would just look at some quick InDesign tutorials regarding how to place your images on spreads... Then you can export as an interactive SWF with left and right buttons. Very easy to do. -Lou

    flash website for mobile phones

    Yeah I always warn my clients about mobile devices when they want something done with Flash. That way they don't say stupid things like "Why didn't you warn me?" -Lou

    Bilingual Website - How is translation done?

    You can use a CMS with placeholders, and pull in different text through language files. BUT, if you are fairly new, then this might be a bit above you at the moment. -Lou

    video at homepage

    Yup, and if you import it into DW, you will be given your own surrounding player that allows for streaming and usage of certain skins. Can't do that with a SWF. -Lou

    Placement of IE comments?

    While I normally don't like to use a workaround, it DOES go inside the <head> tag. Put them in external javascript and style sheets, and then refer to them in your HTML as follows: <!--[if IE 6]> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ie6.css" type="text/css" /> <![endif]--> In this case, the...

    Loading Images faster...help?

    Okay, you absolutely NEED to put your CSS in an external .css file, and your javascript into an external .js file. For SEO purposes, put the CSS file in the same directory as your index.html file, and put your JS file in a folder. Your page will load faster because there will be less code to...

    video at homepage

    I would not recommend loading your site into Flash. This will leave you with creating a preloader and streaming by yourself. Instead, use Adobe media encoder to export your file as an FLV, and then upload that instead of an SWF. A SWF is the wrong way to go altogether. You would be increasing...

    Flash Photo Gallery PROBLEM!!!

    First of all, including :void at the end of a function declaration in AS3 does absolutely nothing. get rid of it. Secondly all of your gotoAndStop() methods should be followed by a semi-colon. Now, why are you using buttons? It is well established that MCs have all the functionality of...

    Best way to incorporate midi?

    Whoa... why spread so much misinformation? It is supported, but now allowed. Jailbreaking will allow you to enable flash. Too complicated to understand???!!!! There are only 4 points! 1. Adobe is a closed system. 2. The H.264 format works perfectly fine for video -- no flash...

    CMS to choose from - Thanks Ben Mauerberger

    Joomla is great for beginners, and has tons of extensions. Drupal is versatile. Wordpress has some VERY nice templates. I've recently discovered Magento which is great because it is innately geared toward an e-commerce site. -Lou
