FLASH: Re: Cancer

[Brian]

About this paragraph in the Flashzoom article:


>When Flash first hit the web (back when it was called Future Splash) it was

all about streaming and small file sizes. You could design a Flash menu that

would load faster than a bunch of JavaScript rollover GIF files, and it

would stream in. Now, four years later, no one understands the art of

streaming in their content. Flash designers would rather make their visitor

wait for a 100k+ download than learn how to keep their files within the

download stream. Flash designers are also proclaiming the death of HTML like

something was wrong with it. HTML is still a far better medium for content

on the web than Flash will ever be. Someone looking for information with a

search engine is not going to find what they need on one of Kioken's Flash

sites because you can not search Flash.<


You don't have to "search Flash".

Excuse me, but doesn't this person know that you still have to use HTML code

to tell the browsers what to do with the .SWF file (I do on my site...)?

Hasn't he/she heard of METATAGS and KEYWORDS that can be inserted into the

HTML code to your heart's content to help search engines? Can't the creator

of a particular site determine a list of keywords that likely reflect the

NECESSARY items of interest on their site?
