The Fifth Fact: As you may notice we used on our web page http://www.metamorphozis.com flash header. Why? The reason was simple and that is fact number five: flash movies are cashed in special browser folder and second time you access it you don't need to wait. Flash movie will be displayed from cache folder. Image files are also stored in browser cache and may be reused if you keep file names and path to images same. But we selected flash due to several technical reasons related to our needs. So we did it to reduce our page loading time. See how confusing it sounds with third fact I mentioned?:-) The problem is that it requires a lot of time to download but only for first time! If you could make visitors wait that time then you will benefit from having flash header as it always there and does not need to be loaded each time you go to other page.

The Sixth Fact: Search engines do not like flash pages, as it makes almost impossible to crawl them. They can not crawl links on your web page and can not index your website content if it is in flash. In html you can insert flash only as object.

As you may see flash has number of advantages and disadvantages. No matter what you think about flash but it belongs to future of Internet. If you cannot admit this and stay away then tomorrow you will regret you did it. Just consider flash usage on your web site. Remember! Be reasonable in design and flash usage and you will get good looking website. This article may be reprinted and distributed with no charge until credit line below remains without changes.
