Hi Benjamin,

The Flash site is slow, and I have a DSL connection...when the brown screen
appears, it sometimes seems that it is all you get and nothing else loads. If
you wait a moment the remaining content will appear.

This is why I only use a little Flash on SMF III...it creates a different
experience for every user. It can look very nice, very active, with a lot of
creative moving elements. It can also load slowly and cause frustration for
users, who get frustrated with the site and never come back. The Web has come
a long way, but...especially in the areas of Flash, JavaScript, DHTML and
compatibility between Mac / PC platforms and multiple browsers...it has a LONG
way to go.

Best regards,

Mike

>>Hi Benjamin,

>>When you go to the Jam & Lewis "FlyteTyme" site you can pick between Flash and
>>HTML versions of the site.
>>
>>For the Flash version: you will see a brief info and then the main menu screen
>>will appear. At the top you will see navigation links: click on "Message Board."
>>A new window will open and you will see two choices: "The Music" and "The Demo
>>Reel." Click on "The Music." If you scroll to the bottom you will see the topic
>>"Seiko Matsuda" (my message). Click on "Seiko Matsuda" and my message will 
>>appear in the window. Click on "post reply" at the top. They ask you to log
>>in to post messages...you can pick any user ID and password you want. Once you
>>do that you will get a "thank you for logging in" screen and you can post your
>>reply.
>>
>>It seems that the Message Board is designed in Flash, and so it only works on
>>the Flash version of the site.
