… UNLESS, you load all the text for the site with text files. This would allow your client to pop up the external text files and make changes to the content that way. This of course would only allow them to change the text content.
“Will I lose clients because they will all want to manage their own site?”
That depends on the clients!
Should you learn HTML?
I would strongly suggest you learn HTML because building sites completely in Flash does present a lot of problems and is generally not a good idea.
My HTML and CSS videos: http://www.killersites.com/web-design/
… Even Adobe does not have their web sites built all in Flash. They use a lot of standard HTML pages.

😉
That said, there is a whole specialization in web design that is centered around building Flash based sites and software. Adobe is really pushing this hard with Flex and other tools that turns Flash from being a web animation software to a web application solution.
Hope that helps.

]]>You should figure out what direction you want to go in … either a designer or developer.
Designers concentrate on making the pages looks good and organizing the information to suit the websites business needs. If that is what you are interested in, then I would look at usability and design theory.
Developer is just another name for programmer. If you decide that you prefer working on the code and you want to get into creating web based software, then you might want to look at PHP next:
Either way is noble, it comes down to taste. That said, I still believe everyone should learn just a little PHP.
… It’s a good tool to have in your back pocket.

If you are trying to get your head wrapped around CSS, you are better off sticking with code only for now.
Have you seen my CSS tutorial site: http://www.csstutorial.net
.. Therein you will learn the basics of CSS.
PS: I will have new Dreamweaver video tutorials coming out very, very soon. But I’m going to concentrate on the soon to be released CS4.
Thanks for writing.
