Web sites with flash

In the days of director we had a movie stub file. a blank director movie to call other movies into.

With flash I use the same idea Setting the screen size and sometimes background color with a blank movie.

Most of my web sites use the structure below

Index.swf – stub movie file Calls intro file
Intro.swf – this is often the preloader
Header.swf – this contains the header graphic and sometimes nav buttons
Menu.swf – this is used if a site has a side menu
Content.swf – this is where the content goes if there is a lot of content I name the content what it is balloonchicken.swf

All text that is dynamic or more then one line is stored in .txt files or if using 7or8 XML documents.

Examples
Balloonroom
