Ever see this annoying button before?

I believe that a good website should not be run on Flash. Sure, it can have trivial flash components, but not Flash for the menu, navigation, and content!

Nonetheless, Flash allows designers to make very visually appealing websites with effects that are not possible with simple HTML/CSS and either cumbersome or unfeasible with Javascript. Furthermore, there’s no need to tinker with stylesheets or test browser compatibility for hours on end.

So against my principles, I am experimenting with a Flash version of my website. It’s started off simple and redundant, but I will develop it more in my free time. The hardest part is of course the graphics. You can see my project at: http://darrenhe.com/flash.
