To me, Flash is for movies/annimation/multimedia content that goes more like TV. I've uncovered a great program that I'm just starting to explore to help with my navigational interface, FWIW. Check out (Mac users only) WebAlias. It is from a small-developer/company that has done some AppleGuide things in the past.www.lakewoodsoftware.com(in case of DNS troubles, use URL below)http://207.153.233.160This tool makes client side image-maps. Handles text, fonts, compression and hot spots. I think the old (exaple now) site was a bit over-loaded with only image-maps -- and that is it -- but I'm going to use it to create banner-like navigational chunks within my HTML pages.It is worth a visit and download if you are a Mac webmaster, IMHO. Beats the heck out of Flash for a navigation tool in ease and end-user results.FWIW, I'm not involved with the product other than as a net-friend.--------------Mark Rauterkus, Publisher E-books work in classrooms!mrauterkus@sportsurf.net Nagano Torch Burns Bright with Winter Games Discussion lists:http://SportSurf.Net/SUBSCRIPTIONS/about/Nagano--------------
