That's ok i can understand why some people go for compatability over the trouble
of downloading a plugin just to be able to watch a webpage and i wish it was
different, but as it is now there is no other alternative, when you choose Flash
as your way of expression. I have always been a creative person, and in order to
have that creative "control" Flash is perfect for that + it is vector based,
which means that you can actually make a full webpage with all the bells and
whistles and then some, that is smaller than an average html page with 5 kb of
code! this is why it is the future of web design and when i say webdesign i mean
just that, the html protocol will always be there in one form or another. Also
when you visit a Flash page no matter how big it is ie. 15 Mb, then once it is
loaded even on a 14 Kb/s modem, then it will load in an instant the next time
you visit it, which make the possibilities endless.
I like the minimalistic approach of html coding and have seen some wonderful
pages in pure html and i will make a mirror of my webpage in html when i get
around to it, however html will always be static and limiting in a creative
sense, unless you want to use java and that is about the ugliest choice from a
design point of view + that will bring you more greif than the "please go here
to download the latest plugin..." :))

No i did not compose the music myself, altough if i had the time i could make it
myself, that's why i use loops that are there for free, if i was in doubt if i
could do it myself, i wouldn't other peoples work, but it is a big time saver :)

>Sargon (who will shut up next time :)

No please don't, ALL opinions count!

BTW Macromedia and Opera have made a deal that will see full flashplayer
integration in their next release of Opera, to read the story go here:
