Please Help

[FITZGERALD, Derek B.]

Hi Everybody,


A quick (but very sincere) thank you to everyone who posts to this list

- it has been absolutely invaluable.  I have run into a situation and

was wondering if anyone could help.  I am currently trying to introduce

Flash content into a large corporate intranet.   The company is entirely

IE3 oriented - and they are in the final stages of migrating from

Windows 3.1 to Windows 95.  Because of the older browser and the older

operating system variables, the Flash/Aftershock option has proven

itself (to me) over and over again.  The problem is that the company's

I.S. department does not currently support Shockwave or Java.  It does

support Microsoft FrontPage (although I currently design in Allaire

HomeSite),  and they recommend that I check the FrontPage manual and

learn how to make FrontPage rollovers.  I.S. also responds to my request

with a vague response of, "use of shockwave technology would be contrary

to the standards which we are using for publishing".   I would love to

be able to use Flash, and I honestly feel I could win some people over

to the idea if I could provide them some hard data of how

Flash/Aftershock works "technically" - as well as how harmless it is to

an intranet, easy to use, etc...  I will admit that I do have a bit of a

prejudice against designing in FrontPage (seems to mangle all of my

code), but I will certainly use it if I am way off base here.  Sorry

this is so long, but any ammunition for this cause would certainly be

appreciated.


Thanks again,


Derek Fitzgerald
