>>>>I'm making a web portal site which uses Flash, UltraDev and other MM

software.  Disney did it.  Is it so wrong to not want to cater to people who

don't upgrade?  Is it so wrong to say we are multimedia companies and if you

don't like multimedia, then our sites are not for you?


OK, this will be the last one from me on this topic must I must also point

out that if you go to disney.com with no Flash player installed, which I

just did, there is *no* mention of Flash. A nicely designed html version of

the site comes up.


No automatic download, no mention that this site is better viewed with

Flash.


So yes Disney is using Flash, but they are not cramming it down your throat.


Case in point - Disney wants to cater to *everyone*. In this world that has

always been the task, and it always will be. Aren't you glad you have the

tools and know how to do that?
