heddaLettis Bipolar (III) Inmate From: solitary confinement Insane since: Aug 2000	posted 01-13-2001 18:36 Am I the only one that thinks Flash is the absolute biggest waste of bandwidth on the Planet? To me, Flash intro pages just flat out SUCK. I'm interested in design, yet 9 out of 10 times I bail on the never-ending "Loading" image. I mean come on, if you were watching the tube and the show faded out to a commercial and you were hit with 3 minutes of blackscreen with an image saying "loading" would you change the channel or what? I see Flash as useful for : 1) Operating IN TANDEM with the other aspects of a page in a small, subtle way that takes relatively zero load time, and: 2) Banner ads. That's it.
Slime Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 01-13-2001 20:21 Nah, I think flash is good. Now and then I want to see some flashy (no pun intended) stuff. Of course, I don't like it when it's used more than is necessary; there are sites that are made entire in flash, but don't have to be to acheive the effects they acheive. It's cool, but should be used in moderation.
heddaLettis Bipolar (III) Inmate From: solitary confinement Insane since: Aug 2000	posted 01-13-2001 22:52 I dunno, it just seems to me that 99.9% of Flash in use today is useless. Unless you count the "That's cool" factor....which means zilch-o to me. Same goes for splash pages. That doesn't mean I'm not going to learn it , because I am (seems every ad wants you to know flash) However, I intend to use it as an aid only, and most definitely NOT a focal point. You know, it's a strange World. Everyne is yelling for "clean" designs, fast loading pages, easy navigation, etc... Then they want to bog down their pages with Flash. Go figure. BTW- You ever tried to back out of a Flash intro? You'd have an easier time doing self root canal. [This message has been edited by heddaLettis (edited 01-13-2001).]

Jestah Maniac (V) Mad Scientist From: Long Island, NY Insane since: Jun 2000	posted 01-14-2001 18:08 Personally I don't mind Flash when its done right. There a lot of sites that just look awesomely cool with flash, others just look bad. Either way, whether these other sites use flash or not, if there bad, chances are I'm not staying long. Besides Im on a suped up cable modem and the most I ever wait at the "loading" screen is a few seconds (very rarely that too)
