<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 56, father of five (10 including my wife's. Don't be in shock, they're all gone off now ). I live outside Asheville, NC, in a beautiful forest. Moved here a year ago from Sundance, Utah. I'm a writer and a passionate Mac hack. I'm interested in promoting my wife's bookmaking art and have taken up web design, more as a hobby then a career. I do love my computer though. Started on a SE in the early 80's System 6, Compuserve, Microphone, Word 3 and HyperCard. I fell behind in the early 90's with a monastic stint in Sante Fe, and when I re-emerged, it was System 7 and color.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I'm not totally newbie. <A href="http://www.chfda.com">www.chfda.com</A> but nowhere near where I'd like to be.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Need a little direction.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>My first issue is fixing an Active content fix for a volunteer job I did for the Pisgah Forest Institute. <FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><A href="http://pisgahforestinstitute.org.whsites.net/WEB/index.html">http://pisgahforestinstitute.org.whsites.net/WEB/index.html</A></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="3" style="font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; ">I jumped through all the hoops I could, to deal with the Flash menu I made but it still doesn't show up in Explorer 6 -x. I've read around and think there's a coding fix, but I'm no where close to dropping snippets willy nilly.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">If there's a benevolent tech god out there, who could help me, the PFI would be grateful, and I'd appear the hero. </SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Second, what's the gateway (book or site) to learn these deep Flash site codes and the related java. I've done one site (the mdr one) from a Flash template. It took months of trial and many errors and I couldn't tell you how I did it if my life counted on it, but I'd like to be able to do more from scratch, for fun and in the intrest of a couple of multi-media sites I have in mind.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">I don't plan to drop in and then disappear, I'd like to hang out and grow with the group. I'm willing to do the learning curve struggle, on my own, so I'm not the dumb kid in the club.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Am I barking up the right tree?</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">Stephen Rapp</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV style="font-size: 16px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;">huck555</SPAN></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
