This is pretty much just a post to say I posted today, but I have my first .SWF animation embedded in my placeholder front page at www.wigdahl.net. No, this will almost certainly not be the permanent logo for the page.
SWiSHmax is a pretty cool package, although its license and authentication setup is pretty draconian. Also, the interface is extremely complex and so even with the tutorial book it’s a hard slog to get anything accomplished. I think I just have to resign myself to an extended learning curve.
