I fucking.hated.flash websites.<p>HATED.<p>With a passion.<p>Even when it was being done it was a stupid tech trick from jackass developers, it was never a designer driven thing except as a means of doing layouts that were you couldn&#x27;t do in html at the time. and it was NEVER about usability.<p>I hated that trend and thank god it didn&#x27;t last very long specifically BECAUSE it threw the users under the bus.
