Boost Your Skills: 20 Awesome Flash Tutorials

June 18th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Graphics, Tutorials, Web Design, Web Design for Beginners
This time we’ve decided to put together a good collection of tutorials on the Adobe Flash software found in the Creative Suite series. While sometimes underestimated or “forgotten”, this program can take your designs to a whole new level without too much knowledge of coding and programming. I’ve put together some tutorials for all skill levels to inspire you, learn you some new tricks and hopefully get you started making your own additions to websites and other designs.

Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to Web pages. Flash is frequently used for advertisements and games. More recently, it has been positioned as a tool for “Rich Internet Applications” (“RIAs”) (source: wikipedia.org)

A Useful Addition to any Business Website

August 5th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in HTML

I’ve used this code in a large amount of business websites I’ve produced. It allows users to see at a glance whether a business is open or closed. If the time is within the specified hours, it will display an open image, if it any other time, it will display the closed image. It is easy to implement and looks great on a store hours page. It goes by the time of your server however so if your server is in a different timezone, adjust the hours accordingly. See a demo in action here.

<?php
/**
* Open / Closed script
* Try to edit only the ‘$hours’ array and the <img /> tags later on
* Editing anything else could give undesired results
*/

// These are the hours, correlating with the above days, in AM and PM format separated by ‘-’
$hours = array(‘Sunday’ => ‘Closed’,
‘Monday’ => ‘By Appointment’,
‘Tuesday’ => ’10AM-5PM’,
‘Wednesday’ => ’10AM-5PM’,
‘Thursday’ => ’10AM-5PM’,
‘Friday’ => ’10AM-6PM’,
‘Saturday’ => ’10AM-5PM’);
