Web design and flash?

[DictatorSlappy]

I want to use animated flash buttons for my website. How do I post the buttons? Do I have to put them in a movie and use the whole movie as my sitemap or is there an easier way? Also, what format can they be saved to?

I am not quite understand your question...

however,if you want all the animation you have created for the buttons, then you have to put them all in a movie.

If there are simply animation, why don't you do it as animated gif in the first place?

hope this will help.

No, see, I want to use a flash button as a button on my website. How would I do this?

You just want to put some flash made buttons on your web site, Like a java button applet.
Right?
You will have to make up the buttons
and put them in the scene in the Flash editor.

Now name it nav and save it.

now go back and click on the first button.
right click on it and choose properties
make this action

On (Release)
Get URL ("http://www.yourhost.com/index.html", window="_self")
End On

Do that on every button and make all the URL's reflect the page you want it to go to.

Do you know how to make animated Buttons?
If not let me know and i'll find a tutorial for you.
If you do well then you should be good to go.




Now just hit Shift+F12 to Publish

And open up the html document in Notepad
and cut and paste the code in to your main html document that will contain the Flash buttons.

Hope that is what you wanted to know.
