Re: FLASH: Site Design in Flash?

[Mark McFadden]

Tim,

It would depend entirely on the size of the site.

In my limited experience I see calling seperate swf's as the best

solution for having a page load quickly, and still manage to be

entertaining to the user. But if others have different opinions , I'm

all ears.
