My website will be basically selling services; will my SEO ranking still be affected if I embed the Flash site in a blank html page? I am at that critical point where I am ready to upload the site but I am just having second thoughts about the ease of doing business with Flash.

The business card templates will have been pre approved and uploaded into the "system". The employee will be able to choose the card template that he likes the most and edit information on the card template such as Full Name, Title, Office Number, Cell Number, Fax Number, and Email. After he inputs his own information onto this template he will have the option to save the file as a pdf file, that will be used to print his business cards.

Not sure if this better for stackoverflow or apple.stackexchange.com (as there is a programming angle and a apple angle) so hopefully this is the right place. i need to build a website that normally would need to be done in flash (because of the requirements for animation) but the owner wants to run this site on ipad and iphone. i thought that all of the iOS stuff didn't support flash but looking into the adobe flash website here, it says that it has iOS support.
Can someone please clarify if iPad, iPhone will support a website if i create it in flash If it doesn't, then does anyone know what it means on the link that it has support for Apple iOS ??
Or use flash in an html container? I know it really depends on what the site is about so for this site it will eventually be an ecommerce site selling clothing.If I construct the site with flash, how big should the page properties be when setting it up?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to build a secure login area on a Flash-AS3 website. I've managed to create the login form and pass data to a PHP script which checks them.
1) I know that in PHP I can echo some infos that can be get from AS3. In this case I suppose to echo something like "success" or "failed" to give an answer to the login attempt. Is this way of communication secure? Can anybody sniff this content and force AS3 to behave like if login was successful?
2) Suppose that PHP-AS3 communication has been secured. What should I do now? May I simply show admin pages hidden before? Is it the correct way? Is it secure?

View 3 RepliesI am going to build my first ever flash website. how to design cool and stylish websites? Like the flash websites we see at [URL], I don't want to order from web designers there because it's way too much money to buy unique websites, so I was wondering if you guys know any tutorials (other than google) where I can learn how to build these cool and stylish websites? Mainly I want to learn how to build animations such as when the mouse hovers, an animation begins. I already know how to code in ActionScript with Adobe Flash CS5 and Dreamweaver CS5, so I'm not those newbies trying learn new code, I just want to learn how to design Flash Websites with those cool and stylish animation features.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build an ordered list in Flash using html text but Flash doesn't recognize my <ol> </ol> and <li> </li> tags, my <br> tags work though...

I was wondering if its possible to make a website fall asleep when the focus is shifted away from the entire window.... so something like onBlur. I've seen this on a few websites and I got thinking how they did it. I'm guessing they have some kind of JavaScript code in their HTML page that can detect an onBlur or killFocus or whatever you call it - then the flash movie picks up on this and takes the appropriate action - like pauses a movie or displays a message "please come back" or things to that effect.
EXAMPLE: Go to [URL] and go to the WANDER AWAY section and click his links. Provided you have enough "money" (you can earn "money" by navigating around) you'll be taken to pixel ranger etc. Now click on the [URL] window and you'll see its been greyed out and is "asleep". You have to click the movie to awaken the site.
i want to see if these "build a." flash sites (to support a user customized ordering process) are done using regular flash or Flex?
[Code].....
All of these "walk a user" through a customized ordering process and capture all of their selection and showing them all of their customizations (and ultimately bring them to a final ordering screen). What's going on under the hood on these sites and are built in flash or flex? Is the person creating a separate image for every combination that you could possibly select or is something else happening here?
I still can't figure out if Flex or Flash is better for something like this. (why does adobe make these seemingly basic questions so complicated) Are there any good resource or tutorials for try to build this type of functionality in flash on a website?
I would like to build an interactive tamagotchi to have @ my website. U know any tutorials up for this?
Or maybe a tutorial or code for how I can make a object change by time in flash. And go back to previous frame if you click an button or something (feed it)

View 5 RepliesI'm in the planning and learning stages of building a facebook game. For the past year my foremost question has been, "Flash or HTML5?". Rather than try to decide the answer to that, I thought I would give the markets for both some more time to mature and learn how to design the game and how to manage the server element.
Over the last year I've devoured thousands of pages of text concerning game development and business development, along with getting a solid footing in AS3, python, php, C# and javascript. So, I'm most interested in picking a system that is best for the job rather than, for example, starting off assuming the game logic will be in python because that's what I enjoy most.
The game is at its core a strategy game and I plan to use many mobile phones extensively in addition to the standard facebook "invite all your friends" features. The graphics won't be flashy and will in most places be rather flat because of the thematic elements, rather than 3d isometric like farmville or other flash facebook games.
So from a technological perspective HTML5 doesn't have any real advantage that I can see over flash, and neither does flash have any real advantage over HTML5. If you see that one has a clear advantage over the other then I would be happy to hear that in your comments.
I have five primary questions that I need your opinion on:
1) Which platform makes better sense for building a facebook game considering the future market trends?
2) Which platform has better inherent elements to help prevent cheating? (like flash being compiled into a .swf vs javascript being in plain text)
3) Which platform would be most attractive to the best game development talent for future hires?
4) Which platform is easiest to take technology from one game and use it for other future games? (like developing isometric graphics in flash)
5) Which platform is easiest to develop with a team?

I have this flash player we use to create some graphs and charts of our business performance. We use flash because we like those neat-o graphics and overall User experience.
The thing is that now I need to generate snapshots (i.e. images) of those charts every Monday so I can save them to disk.
Our flash player takes arguments at startup (or runtime) that specify the data we want to load and the date range, and we have LOTS of charts around.
I would like to know if there is any way to create these images in a batch, window-less process in linux. My goal would be to have a script that runs at 2am, automatically loads all the graphs say for the latest week, and creating PNG images for each. All this in one of our window-less (but with X11 libraries) linux boxes.
