Is<\/em> there a word called flashify? If not, maybe there should be…<\/p>\n

I’m thinking of the process of turning a web page og web site in (X)HTML\/XML into a site using Macromedia Flash. And the reason I’m thinking of that process, is the possibility of doing it myself. OK, not completely; just some elements – flashify light, maybe.<\/p>\n

The part I’m pondering if I’ll change is one important part of this site: The “moon base menu” on the main page, which is the entrance point to the different areas. It needs to be updated in some way no matter what.<\/p>\n

I know, there is the question of accessibility, too – and I won’t sacrifice that aspect on the altar of fanciness. There are three possibilities as I see it now:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Directing flash-users to a page with the flash menu, and the rest getting a text or javascript menu as it is now.<\/li>\n
  2. Include the flash menu on the page for the flash users, and text\/javascript for the rest<\/li>\n
  3. Just have a fancy flash menu – and a simpler text-menu in addition. Styled with CSS, of course.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Just sending people a flash-menu just because they’re able to see it, doesn’t mean they prefer<\/em> it. So there must be a choice – and to avoid having them choose every time, utilise a cookie. (Hopefully they’ll accept cookies.) I’ll probably go for the second method – including the menu in the page – should I go for that solution and offer two different versions.<\/p>\n

    But I’m also tempted to just offer both flash and text. Doing it right, it doesn’t need to get an unneccessary double-up feeling. While the text links would offer a quick wayto just get where they want, flash could offer descriptions and details of the various choices – and maybe even extra bits, like flash animations. Or something.<\/p>\n

    To be honest, at the moment the latter option seems most attractive to me. I’ll have to give this some thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
