Flash and how to use it
Flash has been around for a long time - I remember when it first came out and everything had to be built in Flash. That was even before Google - remember those days?
My wife has started a new business called Tasstico in Spain selling fabric and ready made soft furnishings she manufactures in Morocco - beautiful stuff. She promotes her business primarily through large exhibitions in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona - its growing nicely. In doing research on companies in Spain I noticed that a large proportion of Spanish web sites use flash, its very frustrating trying to find contact numbers and navigating the sites.
I try not to be a flash hater - it has some fantastic applications but when faced with site after site of flash based web sites while in the process of research you do get a little but peeved - and you loose a ton of time.
So to all flash web designers I offer you this little post from Google on the best uses of flash.
