Weigh the advantages of HTML vs flash when you are working on multiple facets like in a special report, special section, or multiday report. Flash is fun but always ask, “is it practical?” and, “is it efficient?”
Some things you might want to avoid including in your flash:
• accompanying stories - too hard to read
• brand identity - make it a graphic on the page shell
• navigation that can keep changing -make it an include so all edits can be done in one source file
• common elements - lay out in header footer it's easier on the eye and easier to change in one source file
