I'm a moderately skilled Dreamweaver user. I know more about Flash (my expertise is in print design). I'm trying to build my own website, I've done a couple already that turned out pretty good, but I've hit a roadblock. Basically, I have a Flash "intro" (not really a splash page, this appears on my home page) at the top of the page. I want that to show up first, go through the quick animation, then have the rest of the page appear below. I don't want to build the entire page/site in Flash, although I may do that later on. Is there a way to do this in Dreamweaver? Does it make more sense to do the whole thing in Flash, to create this effect? Thanks for your help!
Hmm, that sounds like a neat idea, but without having the whole site animated in flash I cant really think of any way to have it displayed without changing links to the main page... Then again you might be able to utilize the hidden text features of... oh darn I forgot the word for it. but its a link that says like "Click here to view members browsing" or something, and then on click the information drops down right beliow the link and the rest of the content below moves down to make room. Maybe you could implement that but have it activated at the end of your flash animation via actionscript... my 2 cents, good luck
I've never tried something like this, but one way I could see doing it is to have all of your content below the flash movie in a div with "display: none" Once the flash vid has finished displaying, have it run a javascript snippet that sets the css for the div to "display: block" Of course that's just in theory...maybe it will give you some ideas.
