Flash and Web-Based Applications

Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox for November 25 is now online at:
   http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20021125.html

Summary:
In usability tests of 46 Flash applications, we identified several
basic issues related to Web-based functionality's ephemeral nature.
Some findings restate old truths about GUIs;
others reflect the Net's new status as nexus of the user experience.
