I agree from the standpoint that, to ramp up a development team to develop in Flash as
a primary UI does take some time, and thus some dollars as well. I too, agree that it
is a little early for full adoption of Flash for UI for everyone. However, those that
are the strong early adopters with good Flash developers, I encourage continual
development in Flash. This is what drives the refinement of the product.
Our development/creative teams are constantly coming up with new ways to leverage
Flash as a useful asset in a project, but only as it makes sense to the client and the
budget. Some clients, the cost is simply too high. Others, that may not be the case.

Subject: RE: Does Macromedia have some current strong Flash agenda?
cost of development alone may be the biggest deterrent...
in our world its:
interface (graphic)
content (text)
html
applications (cf)
clients want to pay only for the HTML :) the apps have to be done cheaply,
and quickly... thus CF... Interface is always an issue... modifying
Photoshop designs to cross browser implemented HTML is a pain in the arse as
it is...
Can only wonder how expensive Flash would get... because now you add a new
layer of behaviors, many multiples of design and round trip interaction and
tracking... lots of stuff...
Flash should be proximate to CD Rom development... The average CD Rom
development costs what these days?

Try to sell the clients on the costs of developing the flash.
If you count up the hours. Flash is NOT cheap.
If you count up the hours maintaining flash... It is REALLY not cheap.

Is it me, or has anyone else noticed there's a REALLY strong push for =
Flash lately at all the CFUGs and conferences?? Is there any particular
= reason for this?
I like Flash - don't get me wrong. But I view it as a GUI frill that I
= doubt I can sell to my clients who want a functional business =
application. Anyone here can tell me why/how I could sell them Flash =
which would be over and above CF development?
