Today, I was viewing several flash website recommended by a friend. The
loading time is a bit unbearable, so I decide to do my stuff first
while I loads. After chatting on msn, drink a few sip of coffee and
feeding on RSS, I forget about the websites. By the time I realise, I
have already miss the intro of some of the Flash site. Advice for Flash
designer/ developer, if possible, after the movie load, put a play
button on the screen whereby the user can click before playing the
intro. You won't want the pain staking intro you spend hours to make to
be missed. Sometimes once the intro starts and the music plays, the
viewer will be 'alert'. But sometime late at night (like now) viewer
may turn down the volumn and miss the 'cue'. So, just play safe and put
a play button, wun take much effort too
