All experienced Flash CS3 designers are expected to be expert at using Flash together with some reasonable knowledge of ActionScript. While fair proficiency at drawing, masking and animation using Flash is vital for a good flash site design, knowledge of ActionScript is important to accomplish even the most basic functions in Flash while handling a movie clip.

Actually, Flash 8 uses ActionScript in its back end, which renders ActionScript as the powerful means to achieve optimum flexibility in a project for a Flash web designer. Sound knowledge of how to use ActionScript in Flash allows the designer to design a Flash web site design with better control over aspects like
Navigating the main timeline
Controlling movie clips
Linking to URLs other than one?s own website
Loading different movies into a Flash movie and many more.
While Actionscript is analogous to JavaScript, the Flash web designers need not know JavaScript to include ActionScript into their project, The many features of Flash 8 include ?Script Assist? mode that helps you write difficult ActionScript codes without writing them from the scratch.

Moreover, Flash 8 incorporates Behaviors Panel that enable designers to use ActionScript?s pre-packaged working code modules for inclusion on drag and drop basis. Hence, with behaviors panels, the designers need no know-how of scripting at all and yet achieve quick and easy accomplishments of some repetitive tasks like controlling navigation.

Nonetheless, it is important for a designer to know how to include ActionScript within Flash 8. The task starts at Actions Panel where you create/ edit ActionScript for a frame/ object using either the normal mode or the script assist mode. Noteworthy is that you can add tasks to only three places in a frame or object, namely,

• The Button Symbols
• The movie clips� and
• The keyframes.

The script assist mode helps designers with syntax and action parameters. It offers choices above the script pane, organized into drop down menus and text boxes.

The purpose of this article is to outline three different ways of getting a WordPress blog up and running. WordPress is a free blogging software, has many benefits and is supported by a large community of users and developers.

A “blog” is abbreviated from the term, “web log” which is a form of online diary or journal.

Since its advent a few short years ago, blogs have found numerous uses. Just to name a few, these include:

- teenagers putting their thoughts and ramblings online

- hobbyists giving updates about their interests and passion

- people staying updated with friends overseas

- professional bloggers updating specific niche products

- multinational corporations (MNC’s) such as Microsoft & General Motors using blogs as marketing tool

Like a web site, a blog has global reach. However, it’s far cheaper, quicker and definitely easier to maintain a blog than a traditional web site. A blog’s contents can be easily updated by submitting short or long articles (commonly known as blog posts) through an easy-to-use graphical interface. As a blog’s content is updated regularly, they naturally attract both human readers as well as search engines hungry for fresh content.

To set up a blog, we need some form of blogging software or platform. There are free software like Blogger and WordPress and there are paid platforms like Moveable Type and Typepad.

Blogger is owned by Google. It’s free and perhaps the easiest way to create a blog and your first post, literally within minutes! Howeer, its features are somewhat limited.

Thus, WordPress is a good alternative if you are looking for free blogging software. As it is an open source software, it is literally supported by a huge community of users and developers that assists both new and experienced bloggers. Not only feature rich – it supports categories, pages and trackbacks, just to name a few – it is constantly being updated through its core software as well as through software plugin’s which are bonus software components that extend the basic functionality of WordPress. For more information, visit WordPress.org

Here are 3 different ways to get a WordPress blog up and running:

1) Via WordPress.com

2) Via WordPress.org

3) Via CPANEL’s Fantastico

VIA WORDPRESS.COM

Like Blogger, you can get your WordPress blog and first post up and running within several minutes through WordPress.com! This site is meant for people to get a taste of WordPress without having to go through the somewhat involved procedure via WordPress.org (see the section below). If this is the first time you are getting your WordPress blog up and running, you should definitely give this a shot.

It’s as easy as going to WordPress.com, clicking the button that says “Get a WordPress Blog Now>>” or something like that and following the directions there. And then, you start posting!

In this case, your WordPress blog will be hosted on WordPress.com totally free. Therefore, you do not need your own web host. The only drawback is that there are limitations such as you can’t install your own themes or plugin’s.

VIA WORDPRESS.ORG

Instead of having your blog hosted on WordPress.com, you can install WordPress on your own web host. (Of course, in this case, you need to have your own web hosting account which preferably comes with a version of “CPANEL” – a an easy-to-use graphical control panel to manage your web host.)

Setting up of the WordPress blog comprises the 3 main steps below.

Step 1: Visit WordPress.org and download the WordPress installation files which are free (since it is open source software as mentioned before). As the files are in a compressed format, run your compression utility (such as Winzip) to expand the files to your hard disk..

Step 2: Run your File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program and connect to your web hosting account. Then upload the installation files to the domain (if you have multiple domains hosted) and folder that you want your WordPress blog installed.

Step 3: This step is going to be challenging for the non-techie type if they managed to survive Step 2! You log into the CPANEL of your web host and create and configure your MYSQL database. After this is done, you need to configure some files to complete your installation.

Next, launch your browser to access your blog and start making your 1st post by running the “wp-admin.php” script that has been installed.

As you can see, this is the “normal” but very tedious way of setting up of your WordPress blog.

However, the effort you expend is worthwhile as you can configure all aspects of WordPress like installing the theme you like and adding HTML codes to include Google AdSense on your blog to earn some profit, etc.

VIA FANTASTICO

Again, you install WordPress on your own web host but this time through FANTASTICO. In this case, not only would you need to have your own web hosting account, it MUST come with a version of “CPANEL” that includes “FANTASTICO” – an advanced script installer that automates a 1-click WordPress installation! (Actually a few clicks are needed.)

With FANTASTICO, all the 3 steps above are automated for you. All you need to do is to log into the CPANEL of your web host and then click the FANTASTICO icon, which is a smiley face.

In the next screen, click on “WordPress” and then click on “New Installation”. FANTASTICO will open a form and you fill in a few things like which domain (if you have multiple domains hosted) and which folder to install to. Once you have typed in the information and pushed a button, FANTASTICO will install WordPress in a few seconds!

How is that possible? That’s because the installation files are already at your web host. This saves you time as you don’t have to download them from WordPress.org, expand them and upload to your web host. Likewise, the databas is also automatically created and configured for you.

Next, launch your browser to access your blog and start making your 1st post by running the “wp-admin.php” script that has been installed.

As you can see, this is the “preferred” method of getting a WordPress blog up and running, also within minutes.and yet you can have all the benefits of configuring all aspects of WordPress, such as adding Affiliate Programs easily (including Amazon.com) and Google AdSense to make a handsome profit month after month!

Actionscript is a Flash scripting language used primarily for web development, game design and software development. Based on the ECMAScript, Flash Actionscript was originally developed by Macromedia, but currently it is owned by Adobe. Initially, Actionscript was designed for controlling simple 2D vector animations, it had limited interactivity features. But its later versions had more depth as they were used for the creation of rich internet applications and web based games.

The release of Flash 4 saw a new level of scripting language. Instead of basic navigational command like ?gotoAndPlay?, the version included operators, expressions, variables and loops.

With so many sets of actions and scripts, Flash Actionscript was dabbled up in the gaming industry and received instant success. A number of award-wining Flash games spawned. Flash game design became an inexpensive alternative to big-budget games. The games developed in this platform are not only easy to set up but also fun and enjoyable and free to play. Flash game design companies also have the ability to create game ?engines? that can help in simulating real world physics. Flash games always have a simple interface and are easy to download.

Flash Actionscript is also used extensively in web development. Flash web development firms make use of this powerful tool to create streaming Flash movies for web sites. Actionscript programming is also used to perform difficult calculations and communicate with server side applications. With Flash, web development companies have a greater deal of control over animations and interactivity.

Nowadays, Graphic designing is incomplete without Actionscript. Graphic design firms design attractive web pages with the help of Actionscript. Flash graphic design is also used for creating corporate logos. You may have seen corporate animated logos. Well, the brilliant design certainly goes to some excellent Actionscript programming skills.

So, whether it is complex web development or intuitive game design or just a good corporate graphic logo, Flash Actionscript is a solid programming cum designing tool that can create rich online applications and web based games.

Gone are the days of expensive web hosting. There was a time, just a few years ago, when hosting was not as cheap as it is now. Lets see why.

Hosting is all about storage on a hard disk (which resides on the web server) and bandwidth for your data. Till a few years ago, hard disk storage was not as large as it is now. Now-a-days hard disk drives come in a typical 400 GB to 500 GB capacity ranges. Even the smallest ones for home computer usage come in over 100 GB sizes. Compare that with a 40 GB hard drive just a few years ago.

A few of these 400 GB to 500 GB range hard disk drives in a typical Linux powered web server with 4 Intel Xeon Central Processing Units gives more than enough processing power and storage capacity to host hundreds of websites on one server, all of them running happily.

Throw in open source (free) Apache + PHP + MySQL combination and you have a recipe for hosting a real working dynamic website at very low costs. What was once a premium combination is now very standard and very cheap and very affordable. It is not uncommon to find hosting plans as cheap as just 99 cents per month, which come complete with all features including PHP and MySQL and enough storage + bandwidth.

There is, thus, no reason for anyone who wants to host anything from a personal homepage or a home business / small business wanting a dynamic website for their online business, to go only for simple HTML websites. No. That is long gone.

Shared web hosting has become very affordable for every kind of use and application. As storage and processing technology advances, hosting will be available with even better capacities and more powerful features. It makes complete sense to use the power of PHP and MySQL when it is well within everyone’s reach.
