More cool Flash done well
This is scary, some people are starting to use Flash sensibly after all these years! Browsing the newest additions on w3csites, I came across 9thwave New Media's new website. The site has valid XHTML, semantic markup, a 'skip to content' link and a small Flash header that has a nice picture, cool little animation, but doesn't interfere with the usability of the website. If you don't have Flash, you get a substitute header image and a link to download Flash if you want. This is an example of Flash executed with restraint and with an eye on accessibility while still looking good, so kudos to 9thwave.
