Anyone else absolutely tired of watching loading screens for everyone's flash web site now days?
If you're going to make me sit there and watch numbers count up, please show me more than just a static image in your portfolio before I get to the next loading screen, or at least preload several images ahead of time, and do something interactive during that loading period.

Or optimize your images so that there isn't long loading times. Or get a good internet connection.

What is it about flash that designers find so wank?
I've opened it, done half a tutorial then closed it again. I'm not a web designer.

Flash is just a tool. Poor implementation and/or usage doesn't equate to a shitty tool, just a shitty developer or designer. Used in the right way and in the right places, Flash can be a great asset.

The last company i worked for refused to use flash because they said it was a useless piece of shit. From a graphic design perspective I thought there were plenty of benefits of using it, from an image based perspective.
Should I move on to the next load of tutorials??

Coming from a print designer > I like Flash best when I don't know it's Flash.

Its a lot more than just knowing Flash

Remember the old days? That was when you'd have to sit and wait for someone's elaborate Flash site to load for ten minutes. These days they mostly load instantly in my experience.

these days you're at a serious disadvantage if you're just a designer trying to apply your skills to flash and come up with something compelling. you have to have serious coding chops to move beyond the mundane.

the only drawback to flash that I can see is SEO related shit and scrollbar related shit

When a designer knows how to design, build and implement a Flash website it is a magical and wonderful experience. Unfornately there are too many designers that still think making a logo rotate, 4MB sound files are cool and that they are designing a video arcade game for Disney really give Flash a bad name. "Less is more"...
