This site is for Flash designers who want to skip the piss and vinegar of the so called 'usability' experts and get right to the solutions for your Flash usability problems. Named in response to Jakob Neilsen's influential 2000 article Flash: 99% Bad.
Macromedia Flash is spreading rapidly across the Internet and many web designers and developers believe Flash, as it is commonly called, is the future of Internet design. The use of Flash includes moving graphics, sounds, motion, and interactivity. These are great from a graphics standpoint although the areas most important to web surfers are content, speed and simple navigation. Of course, Flash has its benefits it has its drawbacks as well and an evaluation of both the pros and cons of Macromedia Flash will help you determine whether Flash is your website's friend or foe.

How to Link from an HTML Page to a Specific Page in PDF File 
HTML pages can contain links to PDF files that enable you to view the files by using an Adobe Acrobat 4.0-or-later product from within Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can also view the files by using the Acrobat product as a helper application in which PDF files appear in a separate Acrobat window. By default, the PDF file opens to the first page. To open the PDF file to a specific page, you can use named destinations in the PDF file. You can also target an HTML link to a specific PDF page by adding the page number to the end of the URL in the link. When you target an HTML link to a specific PDF page, however, the link works only when you view the PDF file within the browser.

New conferencing and collaboration solutions are being announced at the pace of one or more tools per week. New versions and upgrades are promoted even more frequently, and in this avalanche of "this is the best, don't look anywhere else" claims, it is hard to distinguish the good from the average. How should you select your web conferencing tool? Which companies are more reliable and how do you find out? How can you be sure you will not be disappointed? These are tough questions to answer, as there are a million vendors out there and an army of supposed experts all claiming to have the best solution while offering different ones.

Inside "Skip Intro": An Author Interview
Flash has been in the news quite a bit these days, partly because of the current release and partly because of the ongoing fallout over the Jakob Nielsen article (Flash: 99% Bad). Even Macromedia has gotten into the act, working with Nielsen to improve the face of Flash and the challenge of usability. 'What Nielsen said, apart from the sensationalistic nature of the headline, was bang-on,' said Duncan McAlester, co-author of ‘Skip Intro.’ 'Flash, for the most part, had been used in a very poor manner up until that time (and still is in many cases).'

It also serves as a high-level overview of OOP in Flash for experienced programmers who are making their first foray into Flash development.
