FLASH: Re: flasher-digest V1 #3723

[sahlan cherpitel]

hi, Marc,


you're right, the article has a valid point, however i also believe the

writer's judgement is skewed


the 


http://www.drmartens.com/flash/


that's cited as a bad use of flash happens to be very effective in

establishing the shoe brand as cool & sphisticated in an unconventional way


let's face it, the shoes look clunky, but the advertising direction of the

site makes them seem cool ---- damn good use of flash tech to help --- good

copy writing too, which the article writer thinks is bad


it is not designed for shopping cart e-commerce but rather to boost sales in

shops. checking santa rosa, ca, usa, i found 5 locations to buy them, and

the locator nav  was easy, by just inputting my zip


i apologize if my 4 pence worth offends anyone


regards
