Hi all-

I'd like to have a "small intro" to my website which would either be a small
video or a series of pictures demonstrating my products.
You were so helpful to me when I first created my FP2000 website - so before
bugging you good people I did an extensive search hoping to find answers on
my own but really -- my head is swimming -- too much info!!! - so I hope you
don't mind helping me again!!! Here is what I"m looking for-

Are there specific reqts for FP inasfar as what type or version to use for
Flash (or other media s/w??) or FP versions??

Would the ISP have to do anything specific to set my site to accept this
enhancement? (storage space, memory issues?) -

I'd love to find something simple, cheap if not free, that I can do/maintain
myself. Any suggestions on where to begin??

Any help is appreciated.
TIA
MG

No - Flash is all done on the client system. You'll put an <object> tag in
your page that identifies the Flash movie and some other information. WHen
the user visits your page this code causes the Flash player to start and
download the Flash movie from your web site. If the user does not have the
Flash player installed they are prompted to install it from the Macromedia
web site.

Other than having enough space to store the Flash movie, no.

Do you mean a ready-made Flash movie? I don't know if there's a source for
these. Better to get the Flash program and make your own, don;t you think?
Flash is sort of fun, although rather complicated - and unfortunately the
program is expensive.

Thanks Peter - I found something that is perfect for me through
shareware.com - I was able to take a series of pictures and link them up -
it was the easiest thing really and now I have my demo. Okay it's not flashy
and very simplistic but it'll do!!!

Amy,

have you seen the flash script here:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...htmlsplash.htm

I have used the text spash option with good success. It says you can splash
pictures as well. It is free. Maybe it will suit your needs better than
what you found... I dunno...
