The company I work for produced a marketing CD-ROM for a client. They wanted

a 'mirror' web site that can be updated to use in tandem/instead of the CD.


Anyway, the CD contains loads of video and stuff, so a re-think was required

for the web site. There are two sites - the usual Flash/HTML pair. The flash

site actually uses hundreds of small flash movies, and (I think) absolutely

nothing big. So it is exactly the sort of thing you describe. Haven't looked

for a while, but I think the two versions load almost equally quickly.


Mind you, it isn't as 'Flash' as the stuff usually showcased here, but it is

a serious business marketing tool, and does not need to be the glorious

shiny shop window that the wizards here produce ;-)

ps, the site is at www.ndc.co.uk if you want a peek. Don't expect to stay

awake too long though............
