That's true, I hate a site that makes you wait, regardless of reason. >> Good vector design can be considerably smaller than good pixel >> design, after all. > > Amen. How I wish SVG was part of the current DHTML spec. Having a spec often doesn't matter as much as having a usable implementation. It has been difficult to do non-trivial things with DHTML because of the varying implementations. Adobe has the most popular of the various SVG renderers but has no real deployment. The SWF renderer is predictable and deployed, which is why it is used more and more often now. > I think the bottom line of all of this is there are a lot of bad > Flash designers out there that have jaded a lot of folks, > including myself, to Flash. I'd say that's fair, considering Sturgeon's Law and all. btw, if you're in New York City or Washington DC, then there are still seats open in next week's free "Dynamic Flash Application Workshop" described here: http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/events/ jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Tech Support, San Francisco CA US Search technotes: http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ Offlist email risks capture by the spam filters.
