this is not a technical question but i don't know where else to post it so move it if you have to

ok well, i'm planning to learn flash this summer, i was just wondering out of all the marcromedai, what ONE software i need? thanks
 
macromedia's flash 5.0 or maybe it got higher i dunno
you might wanna search for swish on google.com they got a freebie super easy to use flash creation proggy
sorta like the frontpage for html but then for flash .

i personally would not do a course in flash
i would either go for php or .net
 
flash is total control and do it yourself
swish is flash for dummies (like me hehe) i can create flash pages that look good without knowning flash hehehe
 
PHP is a programming language very similar to C.

.NET is Microsoft's new programming framework. Everything Microsoft is doing is going towards .NET no matter how crappy it is.
 
Or you could just use Visual Studio 6, which is just like VS.net, but it's not got a silly name, and doesn't have C#
 
Do you want to make lots of rpofessiona looking flash movies, and neato graphics for websites?
 
um... how do i put it... i want to make cool movies for websites
 
Do you have any artisitic talent? You'll need some if you hope to make nice flash videos. Flash is gonna cost you some $$
 
.net ,
I thought that was Microsoft's attempt to copyright xml/svg :)

As for which program.

To compile images into a flash file, Macromedia Flash is the way to go. However, to produce graphics, you will eventually want to use different software. The software you use for preproduction will be determined by what you intend to animate.


All graphics software costs a bundle. And yet, the price is very low when compared to what actual Art/Graphics supplies cost.
 
... ok, i don't understand what you just said, but here is what i want, i want to make my websites in flash form, and i'm doing web only, as for flash animation, i won't be doing that, well... simple animations yes, but not those complicated flash movies, so what do i need, just for the web AND simple animations?

1st edit: actually i don't understand all your complicated technical term for .net and php, can you guys give me an example, like certain website? also, what program i need in order to work with .net and php?

2nd edit: oh and also... graphic software??????

3rd edit: i'm sorry i'm so dumb, it's only because i'm so dumb
 
Macromedia Flash (flash animations)
+
Macromedia Freehand (graphics production)

download the Flash trial version first and see if you like it.
 
Adobe Photoshop 6.0 is good for Graphical production, although as to whether it is compatible with Flash or not, I don't know.
 
Photoshop is

But, I figured it would be more sensible to suggest products by the same company.

Like Illustrator and Photoshop work really well together. :)
 
I know very little about graphics, coz I can't ue them, I just have no artistic inspiration.
 
alright alright, give me a complete, the one and only, everything i need, package of web graphic building softwares

    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    cool take it easy
  • jonas jonas:
    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales
