Im looking for someone who is quite good with Flash and can create a website for my company.
I have the design created by Bossanova for us but now need someone to make the design work on a domain.
Let me know what you can do and we will talk about a fee
Thanks :) |

www.crazedcoders.com - use flex instead of flash. Flex is more like vb but with the flash api built in. Both use action script and both use flash widgets.

ask for Vic. |

quote:
: Flash and Flex are very similar indeed. Flex, at its core, is nothing more than a framework, written in ActionScript 3 (and previously, in ActionScript 2), that runs on the Flash Player. In compiling Flex applications, MXML is translated into ActionScript and that resulting ActionScript is compiled into SWF bytecode. Thus, for all intents and purposes, the Flex framework could have been written using the ActionScript editor in the Flash IDE! There is, of course, more to Flex than just the framework. There are the compilers, which compile MXML and ActionScript 3, a visual development tool, Flex Builder, and a server, Flex Data Services. Although, technically, there is little to differentiate the two, in terms of workflow, efficiency and use cases, there truly is a world of difference.
The primary advantage of using the Flex framework with Flash Builder over the Flash framework with the Flash IDE is the ability to declaratively create user interfaces. This tag-based, hierarchical, XML-based approach provides a number of key workflow and productivity enhancements over the layout of user interfaces in the Flash IDE. The first such advantage is that MXML files are text based as opposed to the binary FLA file format. This makes them easier to version control and, more importantly, to diff. The importance of this in team environments cannot be overstated. Secondly, the hierarchical structure of XML fits perfectly with the hierarchical structure of user interfaces and the component model in MXML provides a neatly encapsulated modular framework with an elegance that eludes other similar languages such as Microsoft's XAML and Laszlo's LZX. The Eclipse-based Flex Builder 2 tool itself also offers a huge productivity boost.
That is not to say that Flex is The Ultimate Answer To All Things Flash. The size of the framework itself is a major hindrance to the use of Flex in consumer-facing applications. The smallest Flex application weighs in at around 150kb due to the size of the Flex framework. Although is acceptable for intranet and business applications, it is not something you would use to create your blog. (300-400kb would probably be the minimum size of a real-world Flex application with branding, etc. and a considerable amount of code.)
don't worry about the size of a flex app. there are ways to shrink the size significantly if needed. i have seen the as small as 50kb. More or less you remove the framework from the compiled swf. this will force the browser to download the frame work from the adobe site. the consequence of this is that the first time you go to that site it will take a little longer to load. however every succeeding attempt at the site will result in a faster load time. |
