Re: Why (not) flash?

I have to give HFWang the cake here. Mostly because I stink at flash, and have seen so many sites that lack content. For instance, I went to a site just a minute ago that was the most beautiful site I've ever seen. Yet, after visiting the news, articles, and other pages THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. Secondly, as to flash being easy to manage, update, etc. I think the only way this could be done is by loading all of the data through text files which is inefficient, and possibly having a PHP script to make a frontend to editing all these text files. I think all the flash people need to learn the small tricks that make us notepad PHP editors' days. Like using a table with 2 cells of dynamic width and differing background colors to make a graph. Or using nested tables that are 5 or 6 levels deep just to get everything EXACTLY as you want it across all browsers. Flash is nice and beautiful, but it's mainly for static sites with little information to convey unless you do the menu/small animations as mentioned above. Lastly, I would please request that everyone that uses templates/flash creators/modules/premade php scripts do some customization to show us that you know a little more than how to download a script, remove the rightful owner's name, and call it your own. I may seem like a huge turd in saying this but it greatly angers me to see complete sites made in five minutes, that just remove the Post Nuke footer at the bottom getting all the glory while my thousands of lines of scripting get no credit because they can't compete. Why am I whining and booing? This is a forum. Disreguard anything I said above that it whining. Thanks.
