Right i've been in lectures, and what lozza and mark and others have said i also agree with. its not bad, i just personally dont agree entirely with the need, and even though flash can be updateable i still dont think its as versatile. I'm happy for you so send him whatever i said, and i will talk to him on here, or via email for you if you like? My email is around here somewhere so pass it on if you like...

I wouldn't worry too much it will sort itself out, thats just his job, as you've rightly worked out he's probably thrown that together in an hour just to show you what it *could* look like, but for now thats nothing more than animated pictures (which i could teach you how to do, and i know very little flash/actioscript!)

It's likely both of these groups are going to be a very small proportion of your target audience of course, so whether or not you see this as a problem is up to you.

I gotta agree... if a site has flash I won't look at it. Plus its banned to download at work.

Looks brill as it is

Yeah, just the missing plugin image. That's all you get.

Firstly I see this:

Which then turns into this:

Lozza is right

it would be pretty sad.

Don't some websites have html versions aswell? I know it would cost more monies, but I would personally have the option.

Sorry I could do all the image stuff as I had to leave work last night!

You might as well have a HTML version to begin with, if i get a choice i always choose anything but full flash.

What would be handy is a simple HTML holding page that forwards to the flash site if flashplayer is detected. that way you cater for both sets of people. At least everyone can get some info about you

Admiral Huddy · 29-01-2008, 18:11

I like that loads

Edit - I've quicky read through some of the above comments re: Flash so this may have already been suggested but could she not have a front end screen that asks "Flash version" or "non-flash version"?
