Flash & New Media

The Chunk Records Flash intro built by dewsign (shown below) is a classic example of a good Flash implementation; namely creating cartoon animations for the web. Other applications include Product Demonstrations and Virtual Tours, see below for more information.

 

Full Flash Websites

Flash, when used correctly, is a fantastic new media tool. However, unless it is for a specific 'brochure' application, we do not recommend building full flash websites. Instead, we recommend a hybrid of Flash and HTML. This ensures we are not limited in the future development of a website and can easily optimize the website for Search Engine Optimisation.*

Examples of Flash used for the web :

Flash Cartoons

• SpinVox : Film based animation used to demonstrate SpinVox services
• Chunk Records : Cartoon animation linked to branding of new album
• StreetBike : Cartoon animation based on the award winning E-business

Virtual Tour

• Richmond University : Virtual Tour

Flash Websites

• TVSeries : Hand Built Trials & BMX bikes from the UK company Pashley Cycles
• StreetBike.net : Award Winning E Business Website **
• TGMME
• Nexus Watch

Functional Uses of Flash

• Richmond University : Admissions Contacts Map
• StreetBike : Tariff Chart (click on services & select a price chart)

Flash Movies used within HTML websites

• Principal Corporation : '342' Special Offer Movie
• Turners Property : 0.99% Commission Offer Movie
• Richmond University : Intro Movie
• NRT Electrical : Intro Movie

Screen Savers

• StreetBike : Grow Campaign, Fills your screen with Flowers
• Pashey TVSeries : TVSeries Cartoon Screen Screen Saver

Flash Games

• StreetBike : 'SBRaceTrix' Flash game** - create your own track, play up to 3 players on one keyboard. Great fun!

* Full Flash sites can be indexed by Search Engines. However, for most applications we find that Flash / HTML hybrid sites provide more flexibility.
