Hope "realmdesign" will be good ! and keep it in FLASH. I don't understand this attitude against FLASH... FLASH allow web designer to create interactive contents that can't be done with HTML or JAVA. A FLASH site is not necessarily slow, it can even be faster than a normal HTLM site. It's neither complicated, the plug-in is downloaded in just a few minutes (I had more problems downloading RealPlayer and Quicktime !). Besides, it's easier to create a site in FLASH than in HTLM : everything is done in one application and there a less files to upload to the server. All the images, buttons, sounds, etc... are exported in single SWF files (and not hundreds of gif.,jpg, wav, html files). You can be more creative with FLASH. HTML is very limited and not adapted to multimedia contents. If sometimes the loading is slow, blame it on your modem and not FLASH. With a 56K modem (wich means an approximative data transfer of 7K/sec.) everything is slow, not only FLASH. Personnaly I run away from HTML site (especially home pages), they are boring and ugly. It's OK for e-commerce, forums and information databases, but not for graphic sites. I don't need to go on the web to see images an text, for this a magazine is more convenient. The internet should be more than static pages with links ! For those who still think that FLASH is slow try this : go to http://www.mediarevolution.com and choose "flash trailer". Eric
