There are alot of ways to add flash to your website - starting with simple animations like the Graphik Solutions logo. Our logo bounces in and then is designed to rotate the target when your curser hovers overtop of it. You may choose to have something a little more eye catching. For instance - this tree. This tree grows, has a replay button and is constantly shifting and moving. Flash slideshows that are created to add visual appeal to a certain website.
Flash does add alot of appeal and interactivity - however, it also has its faults. Some flash files are very large and therefore takes individuals on dialup a VERY long time to download the file to view your webpage.
Another issue is the issue of the flash player. Some computers don't have it installed. It is a free download, however, some individuals prefer to not download such items. Most computers that you purchase these days come with the flash player automatically installed which is a giant move forward for designers.
And last but not least, the trouble of having a major part of your website done in flash is that computers without flash player and mobile phones will not let you view flash objects, therefore the viewer will not be able to see some of the content of your website. This is a serious problem for those websites where their entire homepage is a flash animation of text, or their logo is animated with flash. What you run into - is some people won't be able to see your logo, read your text or view whatever you have animated.
So you have to ask yourself one question - Is it worth it? Our belief is yes. Flash adds major interactivity into your website, however, we do not suggest designing your entire site in flash as it is not end user friendly.
