Creating Flash - Novice needs help!!

[Wardy118]

Hi everyone,

I've just started a job as a junior website designer so i'm trying to improve my skills and want to learn how to create flash objects. I noticed an ebay shop who make quite good use of Flash and was wondering how difficult it was to do. The URL address of the shop is: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/urban-indie-store_W0QQsspagenameZL2222QQtZkm.

I believe the code for the central flash object is:


<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="762" height="181" id="flashmain" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="http://pmb-web-designs.crazypics.co.uk/ebaymembers/0020/images/flashmain.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="http://pmb-web-designs.crazypics.co.uk/ebaymembers/0020/images/flashmain.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="762" height="181" name="flashmain" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>



Would you guys recommend any websites who have tutorials on how i would go about on creating such flash objects?

Cheers guys

www.gotoandlearn.com is a great resource to learn Flash (actionscript).
Additionally, you're not going to want to use the <object> or <embed> tag to embed flash movies. Use SWFObject (http://blog.deconcept.com) to embed your flash into pages. The blog he has on SWFObject is another resource to learn about flash.
