I am well aware that you are totally pro-flash and I agree to a certain
extent, flash has its place. It's nice when well done. But not in a bloody
advertisement for a motorway, on a ski site FFS :-(
Did you look at the site I posted about? A really really non-event. Not even
good flash. And repeating. Forever. Do you really think that you might
_gain_ viewers if you put something like this on your page? Why do you think
I found a hammer with which to squash it? Reminds me of that bloody monkey
with the big hammer that was around a few years ago. Where is that thing
now?

This aforementioned advertisement IMHO would not work for *any* site. I
agree with Neredbojias (to a certain extent). I want control over my
computer, in that I want to choose to not display such abhorrant
advertisements. If the rest of the sometimes good flash goes with it then so
be it.
Meta tags used to be good for placement in the search engines. Abused.
Ignored.
Popups used to be good for the occasional help screen or whatever. Abused.
Ignored.
Is this to be the way for flash?
