http://www.ixda.org/discuss.php?post=29277 where we discussed before, though in a different context. Some quotes from others: "Arrrrgh! No, no and no! I've spent a good many years trying to convince clients to stop this practice. Even those that insisted on going with the Flash intro have all let up now." Sam W. "In general, I do not like Flash intros or splash pages. Not "it depends". In my mind, if you do a Flash-site, your whole web site should be contained within that flash movie, if you can work with a good programmer, the technology allows you to do that. Attention Adobe Flex." - Enrique S "Personally, I would rather be boiled in hot oil while my fingernails are pulled out through my nostrils than watch a flash intro." - Mario B.
