Try again, without using Flash!
- zanek 17y agoThanks for the comment. Flash was necessary for a number of aspects of the site (most notably, the zooming features). I definitely understand people having an aversion to Flash, but there are lots of things you can do with Flash that arent possible with HTML/AJAX/etc
- nzmsv 17y agoActually, I think the site would only benefit from losing the zooming along with most other effects. Sorry to say this (as you definitely spent a lot of time on them), but the effects make the site look like someone's first experience with PowerPoint.
- samdk 17y agoI'm sorry to be so brutally honest, but a lot of those things you can't do with HTML/CSS/JS are things you really shouldn't be doing at all. Full-page flash breaks usability in so many ways. It completely kills accessibility. It makes things run very slowly. It means I can't open links in new tabs. The only method of scrolling (clicking to drag) is not at all obvious. I could go on. The usability (or rather, lack of it) is its biggest problem right now. There are additional design issues, but they're practically irrelevant at this point.
