Flash or Animation

[cybermonkey]

Hi, everyone

I'm starting a Wordpress blog and planning to put a few buttons, banners on it. Since I'm not a web designer, my question is should I allow flash or animation only on buttons?

it depends of the size of the animations, if they are not quite heavy i would prefer animation only buttons

its better if you dont put flash cos not everyone has flash so its better to use javascript. using jscript, you can create the same effect as flash. moreover it loads faster :D

Adobe Flash is a multimedia platform originally acquired by Macromedia and currently developed and distributed by Adobe Systems.Flash has become a popular method for adding animation and interactivity to web pages. Flash is commonly used to create animation, advertisements and various web page Flash components, to integrate video into web pages and more recently, to develop rich Internet applications.Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement.It is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon of persistence of vision, and can be created and demonstrated in a number of ways.The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

i think you should use photoshop to create buttons and make them simple..
adding animaion would increase loadtime and maybe you would experience some problems while scripting.......

Bear in mind that many platforms don't support flash... so make sure you have fallback buttons. This is particularly important for things like mobile devices (think of the iphone... no flash)

If you allow animation means its take more time to loading.
better flash it takes less time to loading.
