Re: Advice for designing sites with Flash?
The best suggestion for flash is not to use it for anything critical. Flash is not handicap accessible making it so anyone who has disabilities can't use it. It is true that Flash is more handicap accessible now than it used to be but it is still a far cry from what it could be. If you are designing for the Website award you need to remember that one of the criteria listed is the ability to be used by everyone, this can include the blind. For those who don't know there are text readers that will read out the text on the page, this is why it is important to use alt tags on images and other things so that these people will know what the images are.
With that said flash can be used for making pages look a little more dynamic and if used right can enhance a site.
