Using the right tool for the right job
After reading Julie Albertson’s Still not wild for Flash, it seems she is of the same opinion as I am regarding when, how and why to use Flash on the web:
The problem, as I see it, is that WAY too many designers (and clients) have become so bedazzled by its shiny baubles and moving objects that they fail to recognize when Flash is the right tool for the project at hand, and more importantly, when it is not.
Exactly that has happened in a lot of the projects I’ve worked on. Equally frustrating every time.
