Are Flash sites particularly difficult to update compared to other sites?

Also, in my reasearch I came across this article it is called "Flash is Evil"!: http://www.dack.com/web/flash_evil.html Could someone please comment on the following comment, taken from the above URL: "I'm actually developing animation using Flash, but I definitely agree that Flash...

Hi, I am a graphic designer working primarily in print and am now making my first steps in web design. (actually my second, as I have made a very basic flash site many years ago) I am a bit uncertan as to how to approach web design as there are seemingly endless ways to build websites...

I want to allocate the "Tab" button as my key command for hiding all palettes in FH9 (as this is the command I use in Illustrator). But FH doesn't seem to let me use this particular key for a key command. Any ideas on how to get around this? Thanks.

Err, kids, sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm on Quark 4.1. No joy for table-makers then, huh?

Is there a feature or tool for creating tables in Quark? Up until this point I've been using the line tool to create grid etc, , surely there is a more efficient way of doing this. How do you make tables? Is it just easier to draw them as vectors (Illust/Freehand) and import the grid and then...

Thanks! for Mac users, the "right click" isn't necessary, just use a normal mouse click.

A friend mentioned somethng the other day about "PSB" for updating websites. Does anyone here know what he was talking about?

Regarding search engine spiders, I never knew that. Cheers! Thanks for the tips guy - keep them coming!

Thanks for your advice. If the Flash site only uses simple navigation/minimal animations, will it still necessarily take significantly longer to download? Also, with regards to updating a website, is one program better than the other? (primarily updating text content and perhaps a few...

This has remained one of the eternal mysteries of illustrator for me. If someone can answer this I'll be impressed! Whenever I convert a lower case "i" to outlines to try to colour the fill of the dot a different colour to the stem of the "i", illustrator changes the colour of both the dot and...

Thanks to both of you! I found both sets of tips to be useful, as I have used more cumbersome (and less accurate ways) to do the same things before. I've never even looked inside the menu on the Align palette before! Lo and behold - there is some helpful stuff in there!

I normally work in printed media, so please forgive me if this seems like a basic question. What are the primary advantages designing a site in DW has when compared to designing a site in Flash? Thanks in advance!

I know something like this be much better suited to a 3-D program but is it possible to do such a thing accurately in Illustrator? The image I have in my head is purely using black and white space, to cleverly create the illusion of depth. Could someone tell me if this is: A.) impossible...

Ouch! @ M Stringer. Out of curiosity, did you spend a lot of time redoing all of the pattern fills? Do you just mask them out to the shape which you require the pattern to fill? So I guess the verdict is: pattern swatch = pain. I thought something strange might happen with this feature. Can...
