Positive Aspects: Flash movies are compact and they download much more quickly than video. Their motion catches the eye and draws attention to the messages they contain.

Negative Aspects: Repetitive loops can be annoying. Visitors must be using a browser that has the required Flash plug-in. Large Flash presentations can take a long time to download if the visitor is not using high speed access.




This is an example of a simple Flash sequence using text "roller" and "fade-in/fade-out" actions in combination with an image "assemble" action.

There are dozens of flash actions that can be scripted in combinations and sequences according to the requirements of your site. A tanapics representative would be pleased to discuss these options with you.

At Tanapics, Flash design is done at our basic hourly rate.

Special Features: Flash!

Flash movies offer you the ability to animate both graphics and text on your site. Like any other feature, it is best to use them in moderation. Visitors without high speed access will not be pleased if you choose to place large Flash displays in the opening pages of your site, because download times increase with the size and complexity of the presentation.

Careful use of Flash can be very effective in drawing attention to the key messages on your site.

As you scroll down this page you will see examples of some common Flash effect for text and picture. We can combine and sequence these effects in any way you wish. For example, if you want the letters of your site title to "assemble", then fade away, we can write these effects into the Flash file in that order. Text and pictures can be combined to create interesting Flash movies.

Graphic Effects (these can be combined with text) Text Effects (any font type size and colour can be used)
