RE: Unilever pull out (Is flash/vector animation doomed?)

[David Williamson]

I have to disagree, I really don't think that the fact that you can

bring more information down through the new faster connections wont mean

the end of flash. Its present position is one where it offers one of the

smallest file sizes around for the type of interaction and animation

that until now has not been unavailable. now you could feasibly create a

1.5 meg flash file (shell quest was 800k so we are getting there) the

fact still remains that GCI, JAVA and the likes don't stream, so the

flash movie is still going to provide that instant feedback from any

call the server hosting the site. 


	I don't see why bigger band width should have to result in

"Bloatsites" web sites should always and will always have to be as fast

and lean as possible, and at the moment Flash is the way to do that.


*NOTICE*. any material mention with in this mail has been produced as

opinion, it is not meant to offend, harm, humiliate or annoy anyone. its

just my view. Its just I think its the right view. :)


cheers
