Hey Guys,
Sometimes, when I click on a topic to look at it, I get this long pause from my computer. Then some error message about an Adobe Script running slowly and would I like to abort it. Clicking OK tends to remove the problem but it sure is a hassle and always worrying that there might be some virus trying to get in.
Every time it happens, the text displayed by the little info bar at the bottom of the window.
Thanks
Web Design

Hi Gotham,
Even I encounter such problems but the reason being is flash makes whole website heavy to load on your browser and we humans being highly impatient start clicking every link that comes to our vision. And this hung our system.
Though flash increases the interactivity of the website and increases the involvement of the visitor but at the same time it also have many repercussions. One of them is hat we just discussed and other one and the important one is no SEO.
Thanks,

You should consider using flash headers and making the rest of the pages html that way you still have the flash you want and your pages can perform better.

Flash will be more useful when it is more widely used, and more tightly integrated with browsers. It will seriously reduce page loads and overall use of bandwidth. It will improve feedback mechanisms. It will be used to give users more control through familiar direct manipulation methods (imagine letting people drag and drop on the web, finally). However, these things will have to wait until the web as a whole is ready for Flash only.

As far as my concern flash header never help a web site in SEO. It works in reverse. And the problem the author of the post faced is genral. I also faced many times.
Web design should be like " Love at first sight "

hi everyone,
i have some problem
Web Analytic systems help marketing professionals evaluate website visitor behavior in and around a website, providing actionable information valuable in improving a website’s business performance.
Basic Web Analytic reporting tells marketers where their visitors came from, the pages visited and where in a site visitors abandon a site. One type of web Analytic reporting uses web server based data – log files which track every page, image and download served to site visitors. A second type of reporting system relies on JavaScript tags that need to be inserted in every site page and on every download able object. While both types of web Analytic systems have advantages and disadvantages, Flash based websites present real problems for both types of Web Analytic reporting tools.
thanks

Also flash websites are difficult for search engines to crawl, and that can be translated into lower rank and traffic.

You are right Pamela, flash is not a favorite of seo guys at all, I have removed all the flash stuff in my sites so that google reads my site and indexes its much faster.Also flash takes time to load in places where you have limited connectivity .

Same thing I've noticed. Flash affects SEO. It takes a lot of time for a site to load. Makes me want to look for another site instead whenever I encounter such site.

I agree, I don't have the best computer, so generally every flash website I go to seems to slow it down. Sometimes it doesn't even load, perhaps I need to upgrade the flash player I am currently using.

Flash sites might look great, but they start to fall apart when visitors try to use them. Consider a site for a professional services company. The site contains information about the company, its services, case studies and contact information. It is clear that the company invested a lot of time in planning and developing their web site. The site deserves an excellent rating for content and appearance.

Hello,
I know this is an old post; however I would still like to add my point of view.
Flash has several popular plugins/libraries that are written poorly and if execute those libraries in controled environment cause memory leaks. I've seen some code that was calling one of those functions in a loop.
If that happens, your browser while trying to execute the program will hang.
Other times I've seen flash that was corrupted (maybe due to decompilation), cause website to hang.
Other times I've seen flash trying to load external configuration file and the file does not exist.
If you shared a url, I could look into that for you and maybe give you better response.

Any thing you type can be crawled by the major search engines.Granted you can do SEO in Flash as search engine does not support flash file.
Flash websites are much harder to maintain and update. A Web Designer needs to purchase Adobe Flash software ($699) to be able to update flash websites.
