Learn More About Defects Of Flash-Technologies.

There are many conversations about flash-technologies, it is necessary to apply them on a site or not. Let’s try to understand it.

Before to apply Flash on a site, it is necessary to measure seven times. It appears, not all know what is this. Some people apply Flash from necessity, others — from ignorance.

The matter is that Flash is not usual raster picture and not html. And it is multimedia technology. As any technology, this one also has advantages and defects.

It is possible to consider Flash-technology from several items:

– From the point of view of external registration and culture of a site;

– From functional-technical aspect;

– From a practical side.

Registration and culture of a site.

The site is as the book. You purchase the book because its content is interesting to you or the information from it is useful to you, but not because it has a beautiful cover or the known author. It has passed that time, when the Internet server amazed with progress came on a site to look as there something jumps-flies-floats. Now people are interested in the information.

Flash interferes with perception of the information. The site constructed on Flash more reminds game for a modern prefix or TV advertising, when you sit and wait, when it will end. In most cases it is connected with change of a course of things habitual for the user, for example, interference in the interface, animation and even sound imposing. The site — not end in itself; it exists for the visitor (except the homepages, which their authors do for themselves).

Functionally technical aspect.

Flash uses plug-in modules; multimedia functions for today have been not integrated into browsers. Owing to properties inherent in Flash-technology it has functional defects.

The availability of these defects at all does not mean that it is necessary to refuse at all from Flash. Simply on the one hand on scales it is necessary to put necessity of use of a Flash-element, on the other hand — its defects

– Depreciate browser functions:

– Adjustment of print size. It is impossible to change a print means of standard functions

of a browser.

Therefore the visitor will have such print that the designer set (for the inquiry: all designers have fine sight, doing prints small and very small);

– The Button “back”. It moves not to the beginning of the scenario of animation, predictably, and on the previous page of a site, where the Flash-element still/already is absent;

– Search in page.
– Hyperlinks lose the important quality — convertibility of color depending on movement on a site of the visitor. You recollect, whether you were on this page or not. Thus, navigation on a site as a whole is hindered;

– Weight of pages increases;

– Navigation in Flash-sites is often inconvenient;

– The sites constructed on Flash in most cases work incorrectly in off-line (i.e. when site pages are downloaded on the computer of the user and are looked through in an off-line mode).

In relation to large information sites Flash has still the big defect — impossibility of indexing of texts in flash-elements. At the sites completely constructed on Flash, always low degree of relevance.

Practical side.

Except technical subtleties, which not every person will see, Flash has a number of powerful practical defects:

– Flash-elements have the big size. Multimedia possibilities of Flash are wide; therefore the designer exactly wants to use them;

– Flash-rollers form once and for all. Instead it is possible to pay attention to more frequent updating of the contents of a site;

– The Flash-sites downloaded on the computer are displayed incorrectly. The information, which is in a Flash-format, is inaccessible (for downloading of Flash-elements is required the software, which usually is absent at the user).
