i, for one, hate flash, and think alternative versions of websites should be available for those who don't want to use flash.
i dislike flash because i can't deep-link with it!

what do you mean by "deep-link"?
- anzelina0
take for instance this site :
http://www.designerror.com/i just picked it because it's on the pbs right now.
it's flash.
let's say i really like one of the photos, and i want to send a link to a friend. since it's flash, i can only send the main url as a link. then i'll have to give instructions, like 'click the 6th square' or whatever. instead of giving a link that goes right to the image.

I've been working on a dynamic deep link flash solution, with ful back/forward button functionality. Right now it works in IE5.0+/Win, Mozilla, Firefox. I am working on Safari/Opera compatibility now, I just had to make a break for regular work.
I'll post it for testing soon and sure I will release the code.

oh yeah, so deep-linking means to be able to link to a specific subpage of a website.

I'm sure he doesn't use any open API software too. Retro-grouch.

shaft, that's great! it's my only beef about flash.

you can deep link in flash since mx
- fugged0
that's what I thought you meant, but wasn't sure.
deep linking isn't so much a limitation of flash, more a limitation of the how the flash movie was developed.
sure it takes more effort to implement, but is that really a reason to hate flash? i mean c'mon! =)
- anzelina0
yeah yeah yeah, i know, it's no reason to hate flash.
i guess what i hate is really crappy sites that think they're so amazing just cause they have a little bit o' flash.
i guess i'm just hard to impress regardless.

Yes, but afaik name anchors are static and not cross-browser compatible. I want to be able to link to a dynamic subpage, ie a product info coming from a database.

too bad the body copy couldn't be larger on that page.

hmm... there are firefox and netscape work arounds, quite easy to implement.
