example of bad flash usage

[Nick Howes]

Oh dear, I just came across a website with a set of simple rollover buttons,
but instead of using javascript each button is an inividual flash animation
:S cringe.

So why are you keeping us in suspense?

So?

So?

That was my reaction too. What's so different between using individual
images and individual flash animations (barring details like alt= versus
<object> fallback)? In fact, I'm happier with a well-executed flash
rollover that falls back to images that fall back to text than I am with a
javascript menu.

The fact that non-Flash users can't navigate at all?

They can if decent fallback is provided, as was mentioned above.

<object attribute="appropriate value" etc>
<param this="that">
<a href="wheretheflashlinksto.html">
<img src="button" alt="something sensible">
</a>
</object>

You don't see many examples of it, I'll admit.
