Wix.com...an endorsement


Okay, I admit it, I really like this site......
now, I went to it because I needed to research Web 2.0 software, and yeah I went to it to create a flash based site without learning flash......BUT......

I do plan to learn flash....there's no real way around it......(I do have Lynda.com until next August anyway)

I was well overdue to create a page that shows my work with some flash based elements, my concern was I really did not want to take time away from class and Job/Project searching to work on my site when I could do it just as well here (Clients pay for their site...there's no pay for redoing MY website).

To be quite frank, I wanted a new look with some interactive elements and to show a nice range of work without having to take too much time from the bills....and Wix did the job.

I will state two things for those unfamiliar to the site: you may not code, but you will design, and you WILL work. There is some effort to putting this together. any website is a bit ike a puzzle; this is more a question of whether you want to do a 500 piece or a 1000 piece ......but the look is totally customizable..which I like (yes I am a bit of a control freak for my design work)

My biggest gripe is that you have is still the ads...they are still relatively unobtrusive, but you have to pay almost 10$ or more /month to get the ad free site. The saving grace is a VERY customizable site, with a great look and a lot of potential.

still, I like what I see......I might jump ship from my current host.........MIGHT

Creating a simple Motion Tween

1.     I created a circle in Flash with a gradated fill and saved it as a symbol (graphic)











3.  Select layer without shape on it and either right click insert keyframe

4.     click on motion tween timeline and at selected intervals choose insert keyframes (alter
the “instances” I altered the ball by scale and skew at a few points in the motion tween)
5.     click return to see the animation
