| What Flash Can Do |
| Almost any animation or manipulation of graphics and text can be achieved with Flash. If you look at the Flash version of this website, it's essentially a single Flash 'movie' with numerous scenes, each of which is a page or sub-page of the site. Clicking buttons and links switches the movie from scene to scene. Small snippets of Flash can also be incorporated into standard web pages to provide some visual impact to otherwise static pages. |
| Pros |
|
• Great visual impact • Once the movie's loaded there are no page load delays or screen flicker between pages • Much easier to make use of non-standard fonts than on conventional web pages |
| Cons |
|
• Initial
set-up is time-consuming and therefore pricier • A small number of web users don't have Flash enabled in their web browsers |
