I use FLASH all the time. The only reason I responded strongly was due to
Scott's heavy handed attack against DHTML in favor of FLASH. Where I come
from if a man kicks sand in your face you kick a little back. Read the post
carefully, I talk about a time and a place for FLASH, but I certainly don't
endorse or embrace a 100% FLASH approach to site development and/or
interface.
The "rock" be with you.
If you want go play with the "fly" on our page www.orb2.com he'll be
FLASHING glad you stopped by.
Cheers,
Ray
