Super Flash and .Net!
June 20th, 2008Flash is awesome, compelling and fun if you know what your doing. To a creative person [Kudos to you] that is familiar with the spice of Adobe, flash is a great median in which you can present to clients a menu that virtually includes every dish found around the world including new ones and mixed ones and changing interactive ones, and well you get the picture.
Though I have attempted the creative with Paint and Macromedia Fireworks which some will argue is much like having a spice rack that consist of Ketchup, Salt-n-Pepper, jalapenos peppers. So, since I have peppers I am fine and that’s fine I like a good BBQ anyways.
Flash is awesome and awesome’er(sp?) when they work with a database application.
With Microsoft’s .Net the interaction is somewhat limited since the available controls do not have much in which will allow for any interaction to happen. Though Microsoft has made leaps and bounds with Ajax they have not really bridged much for use with flash. Probably because of Silverlight, IDK, what are we doing tonight brain “try to take over the world”. Adobe and few others now have something available for you studio developers. I greatly encourage y’all to go check them out and see what works and doesn’t. They all have various ways of getting the flash to razzle and dazzle yet they all use some Ajax and xml to parse objects to and from flash.
Looking at some of the new browsers that are coming out via IE8 and Firefox3 that will also mean a bunch of new plug-ins that will ‘hopefully’ enrich the user experience. Hopefully with the dawn of Silverlight 2.0 and the ever awesomely awesome flash, the Internet will get closer to the seamless interactive movie like experience.
