Today is the fifth day of using a Windows laptop, compliments of JSM Protective, Inc. Due to time pressures this mornings article will be short and quick. More to follow later today. Back to the reason for this article - Flash use on the Internet. I remember discovering Flash before Macromedia bought the company that created Flash. Back then it was called Future Splash. From that one man to Macromedia to Adobe, what a trip for this vector based web animation.
Flash-based sites have been a craze since the past few years, and as Macromedia compiles more and more great features into Flash, we can only predict there will be more and more flash sites around the Internet. However, Flash based sites have been disputed to be bloated and unnecessary. Where exactly do we draw the line? Here’s a simple breakdown.
The good:
Interactivity
Flash’s Actionscript opens up a vast field of possibilities. Programmers and designers have used Flash to create interactve features ranging from very lively feedback forms to attractive Flash-based games. This whole new level of interactivity will always leave visitors coming back for more.
Currently, this morning I’ve just uninstalled Flash 9 in preparation for the install of Adobe® Flash® prerelease version of Flash Player 10.
