    Fireworks or Flash

    Fireworks or Flash
    This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
    My website was completely designed in fireworks. I'm told that can't be done but home 2000.com, there it is. I now want to switch to flash. I am having an understanding problem in converting the Fireworks png files to Flash.

    1. Fireworks I saved as a swf file.
    2. I tested the swf. (The file is basically a one-page display with rollovers that would each create a large picture in the middle of the screen when rollover. I believe when I call a rollover might also be called a hotspot.
    the problem I'm having with the saved swf file is all of the images continuously execute like a movie without stopping. This is in contrast to the purpose of the display area. It is supposed to only display the large image when someone rolls over the hotspot.

    3. A third and separate issue is converting the Java navigation displayed on the left side to flash. I have asked many times for help on this and other forums and nobody can seem to come up with a way that I can duplicate, fairly closely, the navigation system that I'm using. it's nothing more than the all typical looking tree menu with two basic issues.
    a. Swap out the Menu on top of screen that holds the six hotspots.
    b. Swap out the large display area that holds the new eight hotspots.
    c. Display an image or text in the TVBox, our term for small display area at bottom of navigation frame.

    If you go to my site you will see one of the displays on the home page. Is this a large display area with the eight hotspots that I'm trying to export. You can see this at home2000.com I hope there is someone out there that can give me us the hard on this.

    Post your FLA for me to see your current progress. Also, it's fairly easy to convert your HTML website to a Flash one, because in Flash, it's super easy to align items where you want

    I have created a zip file but it is larger than the allowed size.
    5.71MB

    Is there another way we can do this.

    If you don't mind me asking, what time zone are you in?

    I am in the Central Time Zone, which is the same as Chicago, IL. I am actually in Wisconsin, just outside of Milwaukee.

    So, no FLA file in the ZIP file? Looks like you want me to make the whole thing in Flash, right? Well, I'll see if I can do that tomorrow (right now, I can't), but what about the Java Menu on the left-side at home2000.com? Do you want one made in Flash as well as the BBC thing?

    Yeah we don't have the fla because when we saw what it did with the swf file we knew we were not going in the right direction and that is where you stepped in. As far as the navigation system you are the first person that has shown any interest in it. The navigation is going to be quite a bit more complex. But if you think you can handle it, then we should talk further. I would just like to make sure we are on the same page before we went any further on that.
