In the old days, web purists ranted against Flash. It was proprietary. It wasn't web-like.
How do people feel now? I'm thinking more of posting on the open web than in a controlled in-house environment.
I'd like to replace Abode pdf white papers with a new design I'm calling a "brief." Briefs are created in FlashPaper. Take a look.
Is the fact that Macromedia owns Flash a hang-up?
I love Flash. I love the interactivity. I love the ability to make the interface part of the content. I have a hard time imagining how, if we looked ahead at the best educational content of, say, 2006, it wouldn't be Flash based.
ReplyDeleteI like the conversation about briefs. (By the way, in the military, a brief is a one-word oxymoron.) But I had two production thoughts. The first is that I still believe you could publish a brief from PowerPoint using Acrobat at a low-resolution setting. Second, the open-source competitor to Microsoft Office also allows you to save PPT's (and their equivelant) as SWF files.
