Flash site

As regard the Web sites created entirely in "Flash", apart from the look that feel much impact and new capabilities in content management through integration with a third external files and text files and XML, they have many more problems on various aspects.

Even today they are making great efforts for the recognition by the search engines of contents including photos, links and other elements.

Moreover, even regarding the accessibility, despite the upgrades made in recent versions, these websites made in flash generally do not meet the various criteria and rules laid down by W3C (see section accessibility).

Finally, the flash files posted on the internet need the flash player default to trigger them. For this reason, although there are several solutions for the recognition of the different versions of the player, and download and install automatically the same, the fact remains that Who does not own or can not download or install the aforementioned player, will not show your web site!

These reasons do not exclude the possibility of integrating Flash and all its potential in a website; the solutions are two:

1) Build an alternate version of the site developed in flash, which meets the requirements of usability and accessibility;

2) Making only parts in flash (movies not of fundamental importance for the website) to be integrated into a valid site.

The impossibility of view by some users, should not undermine the use of the site, and instead of the movie must be revived a replacing image regarding the content of the movie.
