Using Flash

I've been keeping busy lately working on a Flash header project for Theory Factory. Theory Factory is a virtual company that I've been a part of for the last 8 years. It was started by a couple of old colleagues from my Quark days. My job for the company is to create flash elements for web sites. I really enjoy working in Flash. It's a nice change from print and static web design.

One of my clients www.jewelrybycari.com, uses Flash technology throughout her site. The way her site is set up is a smart way of using Flash in that they are separate swf files for each page. This way, you can put searchable tags on each page of her site.I wouldn't recommend creating an entire web site in Flash... since most Smart Phones can't view Flash sites. Also, it's impossible to search these sites. Using Flash minimally throughout your site is an added plus. It creates a little interactivity in a smooth and sophisticated way.
