RE: FLASH: Site structure in flash

[Chris Jester (CTS Technical)]

I know you are new and I don't want to bash on Flash because it's one of the

greatest things to come along for the internet, however; be forwarned that

not everyone will want flash. The reasons being that I have encountered.


1.)Some companies worry that if you are gone who will update the site? Flash

is popular but not enough to where many know it yet. That will cause a

problem. I have created some flash site and the customer say wow that great,

but who will update the web site? Are they going to continue to pay me

constantly update the site? And am I going to have the time with other

projects coming up?


2.)Some people like you to start a site for them and then they want to take

it over. Are you going to show them how to use Flash effectivly?


3.)Somepeople don't like having to waite to download the Active X Control

yeah it's incorporated with the new browsers, but I have noticed it still

downloads a new version of Shockwave.


So what I am saying is, yes Flash is AWESOME! but don't fall into the trap

of using only one tool and expect it to do anything. use all your tools to

create the best possable site.
