Re: FLASH: Gimme a break, J.D.

[Jason]

Hi,


I run a site for very small children using Flash (rather than the

remote).Macromedia aren't very interested in the games as such so they aren't to

be found at Shockwave (although we were recognised in the People's Choice this

year). Since I announced that I was looking for people to develop stuff for the

site, however, I've found some fun stuff for small kids out there (Macromedia

isn't the only source of fun animations and games!).


With Flash 4 we are starting to get some really good fun stuff on-line (I'm not

claiming any particular technical prowess, just fun for kids :-). We get 75,000

visits a month and are currently seeing 10-15% more every month. This is very

encouraging.  Why don't you and your kids make that 75,001 for this month? Your

7-year-old may enjoy it - the 10-year-old probably won't, but then we'll be

doing some games for up-to-tens later in the year...


Have fun


Jason
