RE: FLASH: General role of Flash in webdesign...

[Verhaegen Tom]

Thanks,


what you are saying is the reason why we chose for flash to develop our

application ("Observer"). Altough we didn't had the cognitive ergonomic

angle, we had a more technical angle, Flash can sit in a browser while

waiting for more info, an HTML page has to be reloaded to perform a new

task.

Subject: RE: FLASH: General role of Flash in webdesign...



Hi to all,

I would like to put in some other arguments on that topic from a different

perspective. I am a

psychologist and just recently started web development. As a psychologist I

look on web-desgin

more from a cognitve ergonomic point of view. In this respect I consider

flash  a very useful tool

in developing web interfaces which fit cognitve ergonomic needs of the

users. One example is the

easy way one can fade in text/graphic with flash (see the development from

Win 95 thru Win 2000 -

first windows simply poped up then they rolled in (Win 98)  and now they

fade in). Another example

is the instant access to the content of a web site: in html I press a button

then I have to wait

until the server is connected the page loaded .... in flash, due to its

streaming, I press a

button and instantly get the page. I don't want to blow up this subject too

much here but if

people are interested I can give you more examples why flash is very useful

in creating cognitve

ergonomic web-pages and why html isn't. I think this view on web design

still is too much

neglected.


Markus


P.s.: Sorry for my bad english - hope everyone could understand it
