My intention for my final post was to provide another "helpful" link which helped me this semester. But in all honesty, I have ran out of such sites, and I'm not going to search frantically for a site that demonstrates the best and easiest way to bring your Flash dreams to life. Instead, I'm going to offer my comforting opinion to my fellow sleep deprived classmates.
When I stumble onto a site that employs flash animation in some way, I tend to back track out of there. When I see motion on a page that I didn't provoke, I don't like it. For one thing, it makes the page a tad more difficult to load, and if you're like me, you have multiple pages open simultaneously, so you don't want one individual site hogging the download.
Second, it reminds me of those annoying advertisements that pop up on other sites. This gripe could just be me, but I want control over what appears on my computer screen.
Finally, it detracts from some welcomed simplicity. Of course you can incorporate some flash as long as your layout calls for it. It's all about balance. If your site is simple to the point that it is bland, try some flash. If you got everything on your site pretty while being fully functional, then you don't need anything "flashy." I don't know. I guess I'm a guy of simple tastes.
I just wanted to put some people's fears to rest. Don't worry, your site looks great.
