Really? This is so… 2002…
WHY would anyone want to make the navigation with Flash??
I can’t think of anything worse.
Ipad / iphone users, what are they going to do?
besides, you would be surprised the number of pc’s and mac’s that dont have flash.
Maybe 10 years ago you could get away with it, but this is 2010.
I agree with you Igor and Rich 🙂 But not to be bias with the author, I think this article will still be useful to other people especially those college students in other country which still have basic flash subjects on their curriculum if I’m not mistaken. I think we should give them a consideration ;)though I respect the opinion of each and everyone ;D. cheers-
Don’t get me wrong – some Flash websites are amazing. Its just for something that is so important as the navigation – you dont really wont to be using flash.
Flash is dead
I dare ya to do a “30 HTML5/CSS3” Tutorials for Creating Menus and Navigations
@richard – yah almost 🙂
@Jae – noted. thanks for the suggestion =)
@ Ronald
Yes its true, many design school or institute have flash in there syllabus !!
they need to know what is flash,
i agree flash is dead.
i completely disagree that flash is dead. I only agree that navigation can use something else but now a days, FLASH IS SEARCHABLE! Yes people, it is 2010. Google and the other guys are getting there with the SEO for flash and it’s sometimes much faster, slicker, and easier to do this using flash.
useful and helping tutorials.
(meh some of here could be done in jquery)
I kinda agree with igor and Richard but there are still people who dig flash animated navigation
and flash is here to say,
, thanks for the post , this might come in handy.
and flash is here to say,
lol I mean ‘stay’
Great post, some useful tutorials here. Thanks for sharing, Ted.
Flash is not dead but it is dying.
Just because people use navigation menus in flash, doesn’t mean that it is a good practice. Remember that when the browser doesn’t have flash, you have a hole in your page and you cannot navigate to the other pages of your site.
I think this list is very useful for students that have to make a presentation of a project or something like that.
Thanks for the list!
Flash is cool but I don’t think it should be used for site navigation purposes. If the aim is to deliver an unforgettable user experience, you should do it first with content. “Content is king”. Both the users and the search engines will appreciate it. I don’t hate Flash. I used to develop with it but I’m acknowledging the fact that it’s time to move on. HTML5+CSS3 is coming and we should help it grow by propagating the proper knowledge – to seasoned developers/designers and those who are still in school alike.
The following is a similar article to this one: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/resources/36-eye-catching-jquery-navigation-menus/ but they all use jQuery to deliver eye candy navigations while sticking to (almost) semantic html.
Cheers!
its very helpful to every one
