I am new to this board. I need some advices.
I designed a site using photoshop. Now i want to
add some tunning effects to it by re-doing it using
flash. The site will be 100% in flash including
menu bars and navigation buttons......
Can anyone tell me what's the procedure to
this? I imported the sliced graphics from photoshop
itno flash, what shall i do next?
IF you have some good idears , please spare your
experience.
Thanks a lot.

I made the transition into flash about three years ago and was thinking in this same way - design in P.S. and bring it in to Flash.
The more I did this, the more I found myself "tracing" things over in the vectored Flash environment.
Sooner or later, you will come to the realization that if you want it in Flash - it is going to be lighter weight, faster loading, and just downright Feng Shui if you build it ALL in Flash, using bitmap images ONLY if required to achieve a photographic effect. Any drawing work, including blends, transparencies, and masking, can be done in Flash as vectored work.
This allows you to be QUICKER in Photoshop, knowing you're just creating a "rough" to be traced or used as a guide for layout.
IMO - do not create an **entire** flash site navigation, you need plain text and links for those that elect not to use Flash and search engines. Additionally what I find WORST about using Flash to navigate is all the ordinary tools I like to use - for example, right-click and open in a new window, the status bar of the browser on mouse-over - are not present with Flash navigation. They can be made to work, but usually arent.
