Perhaps. I've never looked to see how flash designs are laid out. I only see what people do with it. Since it's beginning, it's been used to create dancing baloney that got in my way on web sites. It is more recently used to make those annoying pop-up things on MSN messenger, that take over your screen and don't stay in their own windows. It's used for 99 percent of that annoying advertising that my pop-up blocker can't block, that you can't find the close button for, where race cars zoom all over my screen when I go to what I thought was a serious news web site. After 5 years of that, my eyes glaze over at the mention of Flash. It's hard to see Flash as a serious tool, as indeed anything other than an extreme irritation, making my daily life more difficult. If, while I was busy trying to block yet another manifestation of it, Flash has grown up and actually has a real use other than irritating the hell out of me, I hope I can be excused for missing the announcement. It was probably in one of those annoying popups. Grump, Grump. Oh, and BTW, Mr. Fang, Cardinal, sir, your claim that it is built into (essentially) all browsers is, I believe, incorrect. It is an add-in to every browser I own, and it has to be added in by the user. I don't know if they're written flash implementations for all the obscure browsers written for Nokias and Palm Pilots and pocket PCs and so forth, but if they haven't, that would be a major road block. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25321 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
