can i create a website entirely in flash?

[meggz]

i can do all the animations, i can make dynamic buttons and do all kinds of neat stuff with flash. i've created a splash page, a home page, and eight other pages to complete the web site i'm working on. now, how do i get it to work on the internet? i've tried adding the action "getURL" to buttons, but each time i go back to that button, the action script is gone. i am not well-versed with the action script language--at all. but isn't this a simple task, just to link a button within a flash movie to another flash movie, and so on and on? where does the "getURL" command belong? on the button itself, in the timeline where that button comes in? in the timeline of the movie that animates the button?

...i apologize if this question has been asked before. but i've browsed through the forum and found very technical language only. is there a "flash for dummies" answer out there?

thanks.

In brief:

to anser your subject question:
Yes, a whole website can be created in flash. (even e-commerce sites).

to answer your button question:
the actionscript for a particular button is entered on the instance of the button (not time line, etc). Right click on the button, then click actions.

Also, another way to make a site in flash ... differing from having each section has a seperate movie loaded via GetUrl command, is to create the whole site as one flash file and have the different "pages" located on different frames (each frame would require a stop() command), or using different scenes). Alternatively, if the site was very big or complex, you could use a similar method to the one you are currently using, but in place of getURL, LoadMovie would be used.

Hope this makes some sense.

For additional reading / learning:
Flash manual is best place to start. This site also has a fairly good tutorial section as do numerous other sites (flashkit.com).
