Designing Grid Systems For Flash
I found this very interesting post made by Antonio Carusone of AisleOne blog.
A very good introduction on how using grid system for flash and also for general webdesign content. Grids are not only for Swiss graphic design on printed matter…
I’ve decided that I’m going to write a little something up for those people interested in grids. I’m going to walk you through the process of creating a grid for a Flash based site that will work for screen resolutions of 1024×768 and up. The beauty of creating a grid for Flash is that you can create a fixed grid and don’t have to be concerned with the user changing type sizes and screwing up the entire grid of the site. The only time you have to be concerned with a fixed grid is if you build a Flash site where the contents of the site repositions based on the size of the browser window, in which case you would have to figure out a fluid grid which is something I haven’t done yet but plan to do in the future.
