RE: Non-Web Flash Uses

[Dykstra, Christopher]

At CWC we are involved in creating product stories for features and benefits

sections of our interactive selling software.  We are starting to explore

the use of Flash to tell product stories in a closed environment (CD, hard

drive).  Clients are responding enthusiastically  because of the lure of

dual development (clsoed and open), but the whole plug-in thing is a hard

sell.  Usually, though, the payoff in terms of visual impact, communicative

power,  low bandwidth and short development time are strong positives.

Things would be a lot easier if Flash were printable, however.  cheers.
