Hi, I am new to the list, but have been lurking for a couple weeks; anyway I'll use this as my first post =) Personally I think flash pages like the one you sent are intrusive to the user and (at least for me) makes them want to close the page immediately. It just looks like a giant popup ad or something. Also flash is not very portable--if you have a flash page you ALWAYS need to code a regular html page. Why bother with flash at all then? Some people love the "flash" of flash, but personally I think it gets in the way of an easy web experience (plugins to download for a new user etc). Flash can be used really well for multimedia websites (movies, musical groups) but for clean pages that have a lot of text information I feel flash is not a great choice.

I'm interested in hearing the general opinion on using Flash in web sites. Reliability, Speed, and all the other design issues. Does anyone have any strong opinions? The site that got me to thinking about this was http://www.mqtweb.com Anyone? ~Nathan Lyle E-mail: natelyle(at)chartermi.net Web: http://www.nathanlyle.com Phone: (906)485-4806 "The idea of a mistake is beside the point, for once anything happens it authentically is." - John Cage
