Hi,
I've been asked whether it's best to create a new website in Flash, HTML or both. Personally, I feel if you have elements that are Flash on a site, the user has to have the plug-in, so why not go the whole hog and create the entire site in Flash? Anyway, it sounds as if ppl here would like a Flash site but they are worried about people being able to print the site. I know in the past with earlier versions of Flash, printing has been a little hit or miss (in my limited experience) but with Flash 8, does it handle printing differently? What is the best way to handle printing pages? Do you add print Btns to your page? What happens if the user goes to the main browser menu to select printing, does it print some random page?
I would really like to build this site in Flash but I don't want printing to be an issue.
