Thread: Flash...

Before I was "shown the light" and became interested in C++, my main hobby / computer skill was making flash sites. Yes, the type cheez deems annoying But I still prefer flash over Java or dhtml because of sheer capability in terms of aesthetics. As for load time, i'd say on average, 85% of bandwidth is used on downloading sound / bitmap information. Truly professional flash developers use minimal amounts of sound / bitmap. I guess thats an obvious technique but thats so under-emphasized. Sites that are made like that load as if it was html.

And one other thing, if you know flash, ull understand that its GREAT showoff material! Compared to VB, its just as easy, and so much better looking!

There's a pretty big difference between a 10K gif logo and a 1 meg site intro. I think that's what he meant.

I think terminator site looked great.

So, I guess everything has its place. Like everything else I suppose-avoid overkill.
