Re: FLASH: SITE CHECK, WebComm

[DataSmith]

Hi Marco,


Please understand that my view and comments of the WebComm site are from 

the perspective of a person relatively new to Flash development.


Opening page - I found the drop shadow effect for the three viewing choices 

to be hard on the eyes.  I would not have done the graphics to have the 

effect appear both above and below the text.


Generally, I found myself in a state of "Flash conflict."  What has 

impressed me about Flash has been its ability to convey a message with 

graphics, interaction, movement and limited text.  My conflict arises from 

the fact that WebComm presents me with big blocks of text to read while 

graphic movement on the same page continually distracts me.


Don't get me wrong!  The site has some cool features, but that was my 

initial reaction and I'm just trying to be objective.  I guess it's easier 

to be critical of someone else's work, but at least *you* have something to 

show.  I'm not that brave yet.


Best,

Frank Cavalier
