[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1534688, member: 110816"] Creating these sorts of interactive sites can be done with a few technologies, Flash, HTML5 and AJAX to name a few.. AJAX is going to involve the most amount of effort (coding wise) and also require a server to constantly be available to perform the interactive side of things. HTML5 would allow for a good amount of interaction, but also requires a bit of coding. Flash is going to give you the flexibility of creating a standalone interactive thing that can be embedded in any website or even run off-line through the Flash Player.. The downside of going the Flash route, as Vansmith eluded, is the cost of acquiring the necessary Adobe Flash tools to create what you want and the cost of getting the knowledge to make it all work. The interactive part of Flash, i.e., prompting for answers and changing behavior based on things, is driven by the coding language embedded in it called ActionScript. ActionScript is a lightweight scripting language similar to JavaScript, so it is fairly easy to pick up. There are numerous tutorials (even video ones on YouTube) that you might want to peruse to see if it's something you can pick up and get going. Alternately, you can pursue hiring a Flash developer to get you started with a couple of case studies and you can learn how to create more based on what he/she does and if you can learn a bit of a Flash/ActionScript yourself..
