Looking for good flash skills!

[GodlyAssassin]

well I made a website, but completely unedited (almost), and I'm planning on making a completely flash-based forum, with a few cool features ;), however, I don't know actionscript, only movies.

That's where I need help. if anyone is good with flash (and does not make alot of bugs in the actionscript), please help me.

Also, if it's succesful, I'll switch from freewebs to a "regular" site (without all the words in front), so thanks alot.

I'm not asking for "how to", I'm actually asking for someone to help me, so it fits in this section of the BBS.

inspired by the NG BBS :D but this one will be alot different XD

There is an exact copy of this topic at "general" section, but someone recommended that I post here. Well, here you go!

well theres many MMORPG's made of flash... >_>

The complexity of a Flash-based forum is unimaginable to me, if you are serious about this you need to offer some money, and a lot of it because I don't even know of anybody capable of that on NG. Nothing like a real forum, anyway.

[GodlyAssassin]

these flash MMORPG's I talk about are free...
so is stick arena...
and I've seen alot of flash chat rooms, some of them with logs to remember everything, kinda like a forum.. but a bit easier...

But thanks for stating how hard it is.

[GodlyAssassin]

already?! nooo

It can't be that hard if XML does what I think it does. I made a makeshift forum in PHP in about 4 hours, and the only difference is that you would have to have Flash interpret the XML code and make it render up posts, ect.

I'm pretty sure you can access a mysql database through flash somehow. I guess that would be the easiest way to make a forum. Can't say I've done it myself, nor can I remember where I saw the tutorial on it.

[PaperBagMask]

well youd have to keep loading a flash over and over, wouldnt you?

[blanblan]

I'll sell you my flash skills for $12.00.

lolno

YOU CAN MAKE A FORUM OUT OF FLASH!??
Not caps?

[Scotttheskaterr]

Probably really really hard.

You obviously know more about this than me, I am quite learned in actionscript but when it comes to XML and PHP I'm rubbish.

You can link to a free forum from Invisionfree. Its alot eaiser than making your own.

[DJStatika]

a flash forum would not be that hard and you wouldnt even need xml, you could just use loadvars

[patu1]

you can do a flash based forum but you need php and stuff to flash alone is not capble
of douing one...

No, because you can create movieclip with two frames, on first one write the code for forum and on second one put "gotoandplay(1);". So it's reloading nonstop, which is better then php forums... But php forums are better becase of some other things...

[Ejit]

I don't think it is possible to make a forum in flash, I don't even know if you can make a log in.

the site does not have forum options that I want >.> this is complex.

No-oneSpecial:
I actually said that cause I thought the different systems (no it's not only point ones...) would be impossible with freewebs, and I'm too newbie to make it with all that coding and stuff... so I thought that it might be a bit harder to make the forum, but it will be alot easier for the systems.

[GodlyAssassin]

oh by the way, I also meant invison and w.e. other forum makers on the web when I said freewebs.

by the way is there any way to block hex edits?
