I don't think CC will create any more flash based progs.

Inger that somehow does not surprise me. A lot of people now have an ipad or iphone and flash is a problem. Also windows 8 will not support flash on mobiles and pads using their system.
I have built quiet a few websites with the CC flash gallery and expect clients are going to want them replaced for non flash galleries soon. I now only use jquery galleries. I am currently redesigning an old flash website for a client in html5 and will no longer be using any flash in websites.

I am very interested to see the non-flash based software CC will develop in future. :)




Same here! I'm avoiding flash wherever I can, and am waiting for the non-flash CC apps.
Ha en riktig god dag!

This hole deal of Apple killing flash is a bunch of %$#@. There's a lot of profession built websites out there that depend heavily on flash. The only thing that will kill flash is all of us not using it any more because a company that makes over priced cellular communication devices doesn't support it.:P
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Lazarus


I checked this one out as well, thanks. It's free, and as far as I can tell, doesn't use any ads or anything. Very basic layout though with a lot of options, but looks like the page can be designed around it possibly. As far as I can tell, it uses FTP to upload files to my host sever? And then I embed it on the Guestbook page I create? I guess I'm just not entirely sure how Lazarus works yet. Don't know much about doing this stuff, as I'm very new to the whole scene! :)

Looks great, and something that I think I can work with. Although, I'm not entirely sure how to install it to get it going. and everything yet. Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks

I agree, I like using flash based software but when clients want their e.g. gallery to be viewed on a iPhone or iPad it means no flash.
IE is another cause for frustration. I redesigned my own website in html5 but even with using Modernizer I still had to use divs for older browsers. As for all the great stuff that css3 has to offer it is still a no go yet. It is beyond any logical comprehension that IE9 will only work with windows7 while so many people and companies are still on XP. :P

Okay, so after transferring the files using Cpanel, is there a script or anything that would need to be embedded on the Guestbook page i will create in VSD?

The guestbook that I customized is entirely out of VSD. I just made it look similar to my VSD site by adding the menu code and altering the color settings in the guestbook. There's some include code in the guestbook when you login down in the bottom left under the INFO heading. This will allow you to embed it in your VSD page. I haven't messed with it but will take a look to see what is involved:)

It appears the easiest way to embed it would be to use an Iframe.:)
<iframe src="http://mydomain.com/guestbook/" width="900" height="800" scrolling="no" frameborder="0">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>


Adjust the code to fit your needs.:)
