RE: FLASH:Corporate Site in Flash?

[Jeff Bradshaw]

I'm sure this subject has been revisited many times on the list, but here it

is again:


When and when is it not appropriate to use Flash?


I've just joined an organization who's site was the best example of how bad

a project can look when designed by committee...So, in the reorg and

subsequent request for a redesign of the site I can now see where the

"marketing front end" could be produced solely in Flash. There are no SSL

requirements, with all user logon info to be handled separately from a

linked secure html page. The user base is primarily Windows 95/98 IE 4.0 and

above.


I've overcome an initial hurdle of the "Flash takes to long to load"

complaint with a proof of concept demo...and now that I've been given the go

head to run with it...I'm still hearing an echo of the CEO's comments "If

this stuff is so great, how come I don't see more Flash on the big

sites?"...I guess I could build a dup html site...but I sure would like to

hear from others who have wrestled with this issue.
