RE: FLASH: New Macromedia.com site

[Tim Allan]

I have to disagree with the tide of complaints the site is receiving. As a

funcitonal interface for a massive ammount of information, I dont think it

is anything worse than what they previously had. Similarly, they have

implemented really good navigational substructures (like the front page for

each product). The branding through the site, developed through the

interface, is good too.


Whats interesting is the way the site runs alot better in ie(5) than on

netscape (4.7)[I'm on a PC too]. None of the drop down menus work in

netscape (i gather they didnt implement them for NN) and you also get a

wierd frameset bug when you try to resize your browser in NN.


It is damn slow though, which could be an indightment of some of the

macromedia technology they used to develop the site, but thats a guess.
