Ok me and my friend have made a decently successful comic around our town. And we were thinking making flash ones for u folks out on the net to see since the creator of weebl and bob is like one of my idols lol i need to kno wut sorta stuff i would need for a web hosting service that can host my comics.
they'd be in flash, and not like weebl and bob but interactive comics. where u'd click the frame and it would get bigger, and have sound.
i need to kno a good host with good stuff on it like price range wut it offers in room and stuff. also im in canada so plz no UK sites unless they show canadian prices.
also i need sum php scripts sorta like the one, weebl and bob use for there animations. plz i would relly be grateful with any help at all. thx

Keenspot/Keenspace (at www.keenspot.com) has a good hosting service, but I'm not sure if you can upload flashes. Their prices are fairly reasonable, and they even have a free service! (It doesn't seem to be working right now, but it's there...) I'm really not that sure that they support Flash, but you can give it a look anyway. They also have an uber-cool system to get your webcomics where they should be, when they should be :)
