It's about time 2Advanced updated their site... And in regards to Flash sites v. HTML/AJAX even usability expert Steve Krug says that they are appropriate for showcasing art work or for a band site. In fact, Jacob Nielson has made some minor concessions to that extent as well. 2cents at no

I don't like it. Too busy, too unintuitive to navigate. Too hard to read. Sure looks purty though. I'd say flashturbation is about right. -Original Message- From: Adrian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 February 2007 10:02 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT: Wow.. what a site!! http

Where have you been ? Under a rock comes to mind :) errr umm dunno. I guess since I'm not much of a designer, I have not had a reason to browse at that kinda stuff. I just kind of ran across it and thought...wow!! Just think of the mind blowing stuff they could do with CF integration. Doug B.

Pretty much every flash programmer knows about them. The guys that work there wrote some flash books. 2advanced set the bar and a lot of other flash design companies just copy the 2advanced designs. -Mike Chabot On 2/13/07, Doug Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where have you been ? Under a rock

Personally, I *HATE* 100% flash web sites. It is my experience that great flash designers are poor UI people, and most flash sites - including this one - are terribly obnoxious to use, filled with lots of time wasting crap, hard to read text, incomprehensible UI paths, etc. rick -- I'm not

Wowquite the whinefest going on about Flash!! You know if nobody ever pushed the boundaries, we'd never advance. I have similar feelings about fancy for the sake of fancy, but it is quite the site regardless. Check out their client roster.they must be doing something right ;-) Cheers

I have to agree with Rick on this one. Well, perhaps not all Flash sites, just all Flash sites like this one. When the site focuses more on imagery and look what we can do, rather than sound design, navigation and usability priciples, I get annoyed because they are so hard to use. But

It is a great site...I went to view one of their client examples, hit the back button, and suddenly had a pretty picture with no navigation. They obviously knew I was done looking at their site. That takes some serious UI design skills.
