Re: FLASH: OT...tactful wording

[rodney entwisle]

Well there is one way you could tactfully explain. You could suggest that

they might get a better product by aquiring the services of a

trained/experienced proffessional in graphics and animation. That the

current trend in corporate presentations is subtlety of design.  And a

professional presentation would impress more visitors and bring in more

return traffic as well as probably be much smaller in size for your final

presentation because they know from years of experience how to squeeze the

last few bytes out of any graphic.


Or you could accidentaly delete all traces of the file off the network...

accidentaly of course  :)  (just joking... dont take that advice).
