That was precisely my point.

The poster wants to emulate the horrible "functionality" of flash with =
HTML. I was hoping he would realise that this is wrongthink and abandon =
his mad quest...

BTW - I hate Flash with a vengeance. There is a particular performer =
whom I want to see in concert and who is about to do a tour. On his =
website he has a "Tours" page which just says "No dates yet - check back =
soon". Now if this was a nice HTML site, I could just bookmark =
tours.html and click on it every morning and in about 2 secs I'd know =
whether the tour dates were announced or not. However, the entire site =
is Flash... So, I have to wait about 1 minute for the homepage to load =
and the movie to start, then I have to click through three levels (each =
loads a new movie) until I get to the tours page. The whole process =
takes 3 minutes (I timed it). It is no suprise that in colloquial =
English the word "flash" is used to describe something which is =
outwardly impressive but which has no real substance (flash jewellery, =
flash cars etc.) Flash is for presentation, not information.

Owen Boyle
