Well that just bollocks for a start
Your comment is, within this context, bollocks. How am I, as a
user, meant to bookmark an individual page/frame within a Flash
"site"/animation? Oh, sorry, am I not allowed to do that? Do I have to
go back to YOUR "entrance page" each time I want to look at a specific
page within the "site". How do I view the site with graphics off and a
text-only display, for either bandwidth or visibility issues? Flash,
used in this - broken - manner *is* user-UNfriendly.
Flash can be used sensibly, as can cars and guns. However, in this
case, the use of Flash shows that the "designer" either knows SFA
about the web medium for which they are, supposedly, designing or they
just don't care and have good liability insurance in place. Either
this was designed by an over-paid BS'er or a kiddie. Neither of which
are likely to have read the recent press articles about discriminating
websites.
After a quick browse, I don't see anything that (aside from the
pointless slide-in/out's) could not have been achieved with an
accessible HTML layout.
