Silver Stage Players Flash site? With great respect to Marshall's opinion and no slight intended to you personally, I think that the flying letters flash intro is exactly the waste of time that is so common on the web. The other cliche with flash is the pulsing circles (why do flashers love bubbles and flying letters so much?)

I think that what an audience wants is the information. "When is the show? How much are the tickets?" A smart client will understand this and should be talked out of flying letter intros.

Talk about bad flash sites,take a look at the sfopera.com web site. It has a flying bird that spits out what looks like the current Nike logo but is actually their new logo. The upshot is that the navigation looks like an afterthought.

Sorry, but flash should be relegated to small boxes in a page, just like animated gifs, and leave the full site implementation to designers who can put a little thought into making it practical. Or for games.

Disclaimer:This is just my opinion and I in now way intend for it to be construed as the truth or the only way... :)
