Re: FLASH: Flash - barrier to entry?

[Susie Hinchliffe]

hi Paul

Wired have articles relating to this (maybe try starting with

http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/12836.html which includes

MM's figures on Flash downloads).


i'm new to the list too so wanted to say hi, you folks sound lovely, and

happy new year - and pretty new to Flash, but surely if the client wanted an

animated menu, and Aftershock can build an animated gif alternative to the

flash movie in the event of no plug-in, this shouldn't have been a major

problem.  i haven't seen an A.gif alternative in action though.  I may well

be talking out of my bottom.  Does anyone know how well it works?
