i cant understand why so many sites are using fash animations on their navigation etc. or banners. i don'zt see em. because i dissabled flash lug ins. its annoying. i bet 20%+ of your users don't see em too. coz : thyy haven't installed the supercool flash plugins or using an older browser. check your stats. there are still users only with IE 4 and 640400 oer whateever

i won't use flash banners at this time on my sites because i'd loose some viewers. =clicks= sales= $$$

Latest web stats show that 99.96 percent of users are using IE6 with Flash installed.

And 100% have 1600x1200 or higher browser resolution.

You turn Flash off? Well good one for you, i'm sure you have errors and parts of lots of websites not showing up all over the place. Hope you enjoy that. to me THAT WOULD BE FUCKING ANNOYING!

Most users have IE5-6 and most have at least flash 5 installed. Its not 95% but probably not far off.

I use it on my movie sites, and the impact it has on users surely surely outweighs the potential loss from some person with a old browser and a 486dx66 computer.

640x440 give me a break nobody cares about them anymore.

I'd never use flash on a tgp or movie post but it can be good for paysites when used sparingly and intelligently.

And yes some flash is bullshit waste of space seems to only slow you down. As long as its practical then its ok with em
