Anyone doing this?

I'm going through a book, Macromedia Flash MX 2004 H.O.T. (Hands On Training), and it's got some really cool stuff. We have a couple pages in our ASP.NET application that are simple Response.Redirect events, and I was wondering if anyone is using Flash for simple pages and if there's anything to keep in mind. I've got some PHP / mySQL books that use Flash / ActionScript, but haven't really seen a lot toward ASP.NET.

Thanks!

I have seen the Flash book for .NET 2.0 w/ C#.
http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1590595173

I'm wondering if I should go the JavaScript route and put in mouse events to at least make the buttons more lively.

The application was initially designed to look like Access since that's what the users were used to seeing. Now, we want to get as far away from that look as possible.

Thanks...any suggestions are welcome!

spirit1,

Thanks for the reply!

I'm thinking I'll go that route. I've got my JavaScript book open now as a matter of fact.

Any good / recommended CSS or JavaScript sites to get ideas?

Thanks!

What parts of flash do you dislike ? Flash is not generally used to do your backend work, it is used for visual appealing. I think serious companies such as:

Microsoft
Vonage
Circuit City
Cisco
Sun
Yahoo

And many more use flash for a good reason, check out many of their homepages for specific flash. A lot of things in flash cannot be done correctly with animated gifs, and they definately add a nice visual effect to a site. A mixture of flash and css works wonders, don't cut it short, its very powerful.
