Flash

The main appeal of Flash is its ability to combine and manipulate objects to make animated movies with astonishingly small file sizes.

Whether your project is an entire interface or an isolated animation, Flash has distinct advantages over alternatives like Gif animation and DHTML.

Flash files are drawn using vectors, not bitmaps. Vectors (lines and curves) are more efficient at rendering some kinds of images than are pixels. That means smaller file sizes and faster downloads. That means your viewers see more faster.

Vectors also can up or down size without losing quality or increasing file size.

The downside is that your visitors must have the plug-in to view the files. Fortunately millions have downloaded it and all of the newer browsers come with it already installed.

In fact, now there is Macromedia Flash Lite, a new profile that has been developed for mobile phones. Flash Lite uses Macromedia 5 objects and Flash 4 ActionScript. Flash Lite is currently used in all NTT DoCoMo i-mode series mobile phones. Flash on phones! Wow!

Flash isn't for every site. Some web sites are more informational than entertaining. Flash is more difficult to update than HTML. If you need a fully database-driven site, then it would be more difficult to use Flash. Flash now prints with remarkably high quality, best if the print function must is imbedded into the movie. With older browsers the print button on the browser doesn't work.

It depends on your potential audience. A little market research will help you decide if this is the best solution for your sites unique needs. Use Flash where it will benefit your business.
