4 Common Myths about Flash
Myths about Flash
Everyone knows how extremely interactive and visually impressive Flash designs are. Well developed Flash websites require little bandwidth and are usually real masterpieces that are able to carry the viewer to the world of designer’s fantasy and unbelievable reality. There are some strange misbeliefs considering Flash in web design, thus today I’m going to bust those myths to give you more confidence in Flash.
#1 Flash is not SEO-friendly
This is a common misbelief that search engines like Google can not read the Flash texts. In fact Google does read inside Flash for a long time already.
#2 Flash is slowly loading
Yes, Flash was slow…. ages ago. Nowadays Flash supports such data transfer/storage technologies like SWX, Native XML, SOAP, etc and the general access to broadband Flash is loading very fast. Of course if the code has been written by someone incompetent Flash may be really slow.
#3 Only few people have Flash player installed
Yes, Flash website can work only if the user has Flash player installed. But I can’t imagine where this odd myth that only few people have it installed has come from. In fact Flash is immensely popular.
#4 The content is not separated from presentation
Of course someone who is really incompetent and new to Flash development may write a mess, but experienced developers use XML for content, for presentation they use Flash movie clips and for behavior external ActionScript files.
