I build the webpage for a local teen club that turns into a haunted house when halloween rolls around. We recently closed the club to start building for the haunted house. For part of our advertising, we agreed to make a new website for the haunted house season. I wanted to throw in a little flash to give it some pizzazz. I was never a big fan of Flash sites mostly due to the infamous "Loading..." screen I always get on a 56k modem. I don't mind the sites with small flash incorporated, but I can't stand the websites made of Flash. So, I never really was interested in learning how to use Flash.
The other day I saw a website with some Flash in it that I thought might be useful for me. They had a little Flash effect above a paragraph (the letters of a word rotated 360 degrees in turn). I wanted to do the same thing, only with a different effect. I wanted to have a blurry word in the background that bouced back and forth behind a stationary word of the same size. So, I opened up Flash and made it and finally figured out how to get it in a webpage. But there was a problem. When it was embedded into the webpage, the actual Flash was the size of the work area in my Flash 5. I have no idea how to get the actual Flash "movie" to be just the size of my little effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My website is http://www.edgeofmadness.com
The website I saw the effect on was http://www.screenhoppers.com/webdesign.html
