Why people use Flash?

These days you must use the latest business tools if you want to stay ahead of the competition. This means an attractive user friendly web site, the use of computer based training and distribution of multimedia marketing. These tools of the trade can send your business to new levels of success only dreamed of by those who cling to older methods of marketing.

Flash movies don't have to be huge, so they don't have to take long to download. They can have freeloaders so they maintain their appearance even though someone might have a slow connection.

To view Flash animation on your computer, it's necessary to have a Flash Plug-in. This is a small download that now comes with all new versions of Windows and Mac. 95% of browsers out there have Flash right now.

Some problems with Flash

If you want a site designed entirely in Flash then you have the problem of search engine placement. Search engine spiders cannot index Flash content as it is technically a graphic.

So you need to use a combination of Flash and HTML. This help people be able to easily find your site, and you will not lose out on the creativity of Flash.

Occasionally there will be a user out there with a very outdated version of a browser who won't be able to view Flash without getting the Plug-in. This is why a good website will allow the user to opt out of the Flash portion. Or, if your entire site is in Flash, the user can choose to look at your site in quick-loading HTML.
