Anonymous JavaScript advice

April 8, 2014 12:17 AM

Hello, Could someone please tell me where I can get advice on the design of code on a particular website?

I'd be interested in learning how the design of a particular website incorporates Flash and JavaScript. I've recently completed an O'Reilly's School of Technology course on JavaScript but I'm not familiar with Flash so I don't understand the code on a particular site.

Ideally, I'd like comprehensive advice without having to display my message in the public domain online. I'd be willing to pay for advice, approx. $10 for a brief explanation of code.

Thanks for any help with this.

Best answer: "I'd like comprehensive advice without having to display my message in the public domain online."

Didn't you just do that here?

You can memail me and I can take a quick look and give some pointers (declining the payment, obviously).

There is also http://stackoverflow.com/, which you should bookmark if you want to continue on this path. It's less anonymous but more helpful.

If you're just getting started and this is a learning exercise, you are probably wasting energy trying to learn how flash works. It's a dead platform. Stick with javascript, IMO.

Response by poster: With regard to KMB's comment about the public domain, I didn't mention which website.
