     i tend to agree, i mean if you really look at his flash its just fairly

easy stuff,

just stuff that would take a long time to do.  i havent seen too many things

in

flash that have blown me away yet; while i have seen a lot of crowded movies

that try and do everything, i tend to prefer simpler movies that have a

sense of

design and employ some thoughtful elements.  once you unleash something

onto the web in any form, be it html, flash or whatever else, elements of

design

come into play and can either hinder or strengthen it.  being a multimedia

designer

myself, ive been pulling more and more design elements into multimedia; its

not

just print where you have to think about design.  for me at least, one has

to be very

aware of graphic design to be a good multimedia designer.  as for gabo, my

general feeling is "eh."
