FLASH: RE: Flash's Limits

[Phillip Kerman]

I'm glad my statements have caused such reactions.  I'm still quite

confident this example can not be replicated without javaScript.

A few things in particular:


--You can navigate (with regular "h ref"'s in the page) and the Flash movie

updates (is in-sync with whichever page you've navigated to).

--You can use the browser's "back" button and the Flash movie updates.

--You CAN'T book mark sub-pages (alas, these are frames).



So, don't get me wrong--it's not like I'm super  proud of the graphics or

anything... it's just having a background in Director and Authorware, I

notice what you CAN'T do with Flash.



Actually, for a more positive challenge:

Anyone with more examples of (graphically interesting Flash) usage of

JavaScript--in cases where you really can't do it without JavaScript... send

them my way!  I'm doing a presentation at UCON99 called "A Meaningful

Conversation between Flash and JavaScript"... if I use anyone's examples

I'll (of course) give credit).
