Most of the money spent on computing these days seems to go on proprietary ways of re-inventing the wheel, and locking in their data at the same time. Could you do the same in a set of HTML pages? This makes the content 'open' and reusable, reduces the risk of the recipients computer being infected and generally reduces computer/network requirements. I have yet to see a flash 'presentation' that is anywhere near 'accessible' (http://www.w3.org/WAI/) SVG is potentially 'well cool' but there are accessibility problems associated with it and a lot of browsers need a plug-in.Hi Guys Is there a tool on Linux that enables development of flash content please? Any preferences that folks have?There was something called something along the lines of "flash4linux" or something like that. Also Openoffice.org <http://Openoffice.org> Impress can export to Flash. Try SVG if you want to create graphics, and also SVG if you want to create animations or web apps with graphics and can rely on a recent-and-recent-browser userbase.-- Ben Goodger#391382
But most Flash seems to be like modern telly - all style and no content!One reason I use Firefox is so I can turn Flash off and I generally never turn it on. If only I could work out a way of preventing it even downloading it....
