Why is it Flash? It’s just a picture…of matches ---

Thanks for the feedback. @glosrfc: Well It’s flash because it loads a random picture everytime you access. and because there are two handy buttons at the bottom. 🙂 ---

yeah looks, nice i agree with glos in that it doesnt really need to flash though. There is a very easy way to do the same thing with html. Just search random image or something similar in google and you’ll find a mess of ways to do it. ---

Thanks everyone, I actually know how to do it in html/php I didnt really ask anyone to show me the way. I did it in flash because I’m basically a flash developer/designer and thats what I do best. so apart from which is the easiest/coolest way to achieve what I wanted to achieve, Flash is what I do. Stop hating flash. you’re getting really annoying. ---

I don’t know why everyone is making a big deal about it bieng in flash, but anyways, how did you make the matches? I really like them ---

you’d be surprised how many people don’t have the latest version of flash therefore you’re automatically cutting down the audience that is able to view your page. I don’t think these people are necessarily suggesting you make it with html/php because it is more cool but rather because its just the smart thing to do, especially for something so simple. ---

I’m not hating Flash and I doubt that any of the others who’ve questioned why are hating it too. Personally I think Flash is appropriate for content that involves some kind of animation or interaction with the user. I don’t think it’s an appropriate way of displaying what is, when all is said and done, a random image. As a placeholder it’s fine…the image is fine…if there is going to be additional content, it may well be fine. Until then, there’s actually very little positive feedback that can be given. ---
