Repent from Flash Sins
by Tim Kennedy
May 10, 2000

If I see another goofy Flash interface I am going to scream. Please do not take my prior statement as rejection of everything Flash. I love Flash. I think Macromedia Flash is a wonderful tool with wonderful potential. Along with other tools and environments, Flash is helping to usher in the kind of Web multimedia world that I have long hoped for. Some day, the Web will have even more capability than a great CD-ROM title. Audio, video, images, text and animation will tickle the senses and inspire people to buy, learn, or know. Standard TV will pale in comparison. And unlike the Web today, you will not need to pray to the multimedia gods for it to work.

But along the way, we have a lot of learning to do. While the number of people who can make Macromedia Flash do really nifty tricks is growing incredibly fast, there seem to be far fewer people that can build really good Flash sites. Why? In my opinion, the reason is simple. Most developers and designers are forgetting to make their Flash sites usable.
