sorry - don't want to start a bicker - but on this one -I personally wouldn't higher a flash developer that could not design a UI that meets business requirements while being a little light and bandwidth conscious.
no ill intentions. jay miller Matt Liotta wrote: That is absolutely not true. A good Flash developer will create a UI that meets the business requirements of the application and allows a user to easily make use of it. That may or may not use more bandwidth than an html based application with the same business requirements.

And you are making assumptions as well here. A *GOOD* Flash developer would design the Flash interface to be lightweight, preload once (or as minimal as possible), and minimize the size of his/her Flash movies. No different is the argument that CFML is slow. Those of us that know CFML know that any poor developer can write bad CFML that will inherently be slow. I fail to understand your point of view on this. I think you can see where I am coming from. Paul W.

If your whole site is in Flash it loads once. The Flash movie is equal to one or two rich HTML pages in size. Perform more than two functions on your site and you're then passing less data than you would via HTML. That's the simplified version of how it works. I doubt Talkers really cares more about it than that, unless they're actually building an app. Then it's worth it to go into the specifics. You are making assumptions. Flash gives you the ability to do things you couldn't do before in html, which could required higher bandwidth than the equivalent application using html. While the extra bandwidth may be worth it for a better experience, the extra bandwidth is still there. Flash applications do not inherently save bandwidth. -Matt ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
