...you thought I was going to say "Flashdaddee?" Sorry cheez, couldn't resist
Seriously though, what are your thoughts on flash-based websites? I don't see as many as I used to, perhaps it was one of those passing fads.

Sites using flash are Godlike....
Flash games are ok, but I think websites that use flash extensively in their design are annoying as hell. I shouldn't have to wait for a stupid movie to load just to read something on the site.

Like anything good. Can be awesome, can be WAY over the top. So often I come across a site with a ludicrously unnecessary flash intro that I just skip past.
Yeah they can certainly overdo certain things, Like having a nice
animation when you click a link is nice but when you've seen it
over a 100 times you get tired of the waiting.
I think it has it's merits... but some people just overdo it. I like to see what people can do with it tho.
I thought this looked nice.
That's actually quite tasteful. My view on flash is that a little goes a long way, but a lot goes too far.
I used flash once and loved it, i used it to animate a static logo that the guy i made a website for had. The company sells vib-bowls (vibrate via magnets which makes small parts like screws go up a rail system, then they can be sorted, etc.) The original logo just has black screw heads that were all lined up along the rail. Here's what i did with it (ported to gif).

It'd be nice if Flash was as standardized as HTML, i.e. it isn't available for only a few browsers. I'd like to code it into mine but no way am I gonna let the gaping security hole that is ActiveX in...![]()
It can be very nice, like at that Terminator site. But it is only eyecandy. It has no functional point at a homepage.

That's what they said about java....a lot of people used java apps for navigation...it's dying down now as lower bandwidth stuff like dhtml takes the stage, but you can always find a use for things like java or flash.

flash is just eyecandy, its cool eyecandy, but eyecandy none the less. i like it, i think it makes a site look clean.

A freind pointed me in this direction....and I am glad of it.
Regular flash has no functionality other than presentation - but the new MX allows more control over Vector graphics and data manipulation - we might start to see some MX sites and maybe even MX apps come about.
