Hi Paul, I thought it was on one page :) No but seriously I understand your comment and agree with it, words are not really my thing either, they end up deeper than the site itself, its hard to focus when your trying to do everything.
Is it, commercial is it personal, not sure :( will i ever get work from it, i doubt it, but I suppose it is just that a moving biz card. I think i will forget trying to poulate datagrids with my youtube stuff, especially now i have figured out how to add a video gallery, I can just put the files up on this site, making sure its all under one roof and cutting down the pages. I think all I really need is a good image gallery, and a better video gallery... or simply a better media widget that would do everthing, including showing the panoramic swf's and maybe an rss feed or two... Slowly it will evolve to be.. less is more Ok thanks for the tip, the trouble with most of the components out there is, they work as is on their own but when i try to add them they can mess up.. One thing is for sure I do love flex, and cant wait for thermo. As i dont know how to code much, I thought instead of learning all the other languages I could take a top down approach, MXML doesnt look too much different than the others to me, but it is slotting into place, and the power & look of the thing is enough to make other people who know less than i do, think I am the shit with web design :) But my biggest problem is I do want to do too much, and I am worried by offering x and then not being able to deliver, and having loads of issues.. I may have to do a site in chinese soon #:( OK thanks johnvid --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Paul Andrews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi John, > > It's good to see someone so enthusiastic about Flex, but my advice would be > to take several steps back rather than attempt to build such a complex site > as a first project. > > I think it would be best to try and build a one or two page site and then > expand from that.
