hello,

I'm a total newbie to flash stuff but good in server administration and html (frontpage2000) instead.

what I'm looking for is a application which creates flash websites "on the fly". I'd like to choose from a lot of different flash templates, put the content inside and put everything online. I have tried all the Macromedia stuff but I do not have the time to learn how to use it.

what can you suggest me? the 2 most important things for me are "easyness" (no flash skills should be requered) and a lot of templates free to use (no link back to the software).

pricing is not that important... but I hope not to have to spent more than $1000.

what I have found so far is "redframekit.com" but I'm still not sure if its ok... what do you think? the templates look quite nice: http://www.redframekit.net/BtoB/member/corporate/index.php?p=websites


thanks indeed for every hint you may give me!

Flash is complicated to learn to make quality off the fly I would use a program called swish is a lot easier to start off with and has a lot of the functions and movements pre programmed into it.

www.swishzone.com

Has a free trial version

Redframekit looks interesting... many of their pre-made templates look good.

Swish is another alternative, though I don't believe it comes with any pre-made intros or movies. Still, it's very easy-to-use and would be a good option for someone wanting something simple to learn.

Try downloading the demo for both and see which you prefer.

is somebody of you activly using swish or redframekit? does somebody know the exact amount of available templates (I've searched but did not find this info).

any other alternative?

i use swish/flash a lot

www.flashkit.com has a lot of swish stuff on it, here are there forums where most people post templates and stuff.

RnMp, 10minuteflash has some nice layout.. but $200 for one website... is really to much. don't you think?

I guess most of 10minuteflash customers buy hosting from them and this way get flash sites cheap. Looks like a good marketing model for web hosts ;)
