Re: FLASH: No! More demo FLAs.......

[Swain Troy]

Hey Mike,


I'm new to Flash and enjoy it a lot. However, I'm NOT interested in flying 

text, mouse followers and the like; however, I couldn't have made my site in 

Flash 3.


Music and more interactivity, that's what I've always wanted out of the web, 

and now it's here. Well, it's close enough.


I believe Flash is finally receding into the background, much like Photoshop 

did several years ago. Now that Photoshop is fully integrated into artists' 

lives (in the commercial and fine art worlds) computer art is finally 

getting interesting, but only after years of cookie cutter 

Kai-Power-Tool-based-art. Likewise, soon enough flying text will only be 

used when absolutely necessary.


Personally, I enjoy all the cartoon and game sites: Spumco, Globz, Heavy 

(although I hate Heavy's use of Javascript), Joe's cartoons, Radio Kazoo, 

etc. and all the sites that quietly use Flash to accomplish a goal that 

would be difficult in straight html/javascript.


Actually, all of the sites I love are unified by a single vision. They're 

focused, almost obsessive, and Flash is simply the vehicle they hijack for 

their purposes.


There have been several pages and ideas I've wanted to slap on the web since 

'92, but only now can I realize them... I think that's where the 'wow' will 

reside in the future.
