Interface Usability in Flash
iBoost Journal: This tutorial attempts to steer both beginning and also experienced Flash designers towards a more responsible use of Flash. While this may sound a bit loaded, you should realize that, by now, quite a few sites have banned the use of Flash entirely -simply because they had the unfortunate experience of having Flash implemented on their behalf, but in the wrong way. Yet, when Flash is used the wrong way, it creates havoc. But the same might be said of HTML. (The designers should have been blamed, rather than the tool!) So, to help Flash designers avoid making the same errors all over again, I’ve written out some pointers, highlighting many of the common errors I’ve encountered when reviewing Flash sites.
