Re: FLASH: site architecture

[Remik]

Hi Nadia,


Only one comment - PLEASE do not take over the entire screen with your

site(s), or at lease give the option to resize the window back to its

default size.  I absolutely HATE sites where developers think they can just

take over all screen real-estate as they wish and ignore everything else the

client/viewer may be doing on the desktop.  The sites you mentioned below

would work just as well if you launched them in the default window, or at

the very most (still not sure why, but better than full screen!) in a much

smaller window, just a little bigger than the dimensions of the Flash file

itself.


Thanks,


Remik
