JavaScript Statistics are of the utmost importance for rich websites and web applications. As of today, statistics show that more than 98% of users have JavaScript. The remaining 2% represent users who turn the scripting off or use a browser that doesn’t support JavaScript (some mobile phones).

Flash Statistics are very surprising! They show that more than 80% of the users update their flash player within 6 months of the release. These statistics are the official Adobe Flash Statistics for the US and Canada:

Screen resolution statistics are very important. When designing a website, it is a good idea for a web designer to make the design fit within a 1024px screen width (so about 1000px for the actual site design). Below are the latest known screen resolution statistics (US & Canada). What you can read from the web statistics below is that the big majority of users are using a display with 1024 pixels or more.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend. I just wanted to point out a very useful tool for Flash web designers and developers. It’s called SWFAddress and it is an effective tool in providing support for deep linking your Flash websites and applications.

What SWFAddress does is it lets you create unique virtual URLs for all the different sections of your Flash website. This helps with general usability, as it makes the forward and back buttons on your browser functionable as well as makes your flash websites more search-engine friendly. You can download and read about it here.

In short, SWFAddress is a small, but powerful library that provides deep linking for Flash and Ajax. It’s a developer tool, allowing creation of unique virtual URLs that can point to a website section or an application state. (more…)

Here at Noam Design our flash developers typically use Actionscript animation over timeline tweens. The advantage to that is significantly smaller file sizes and smoother, more stable movements. For most developers, it is much easier to deal with your motion in terms of time rather than in frame. Also, when a client requests a change, editing a small snippet of code is far quicker than attempting to adjust the objects on your timeline (especially when you’re dealing with many objects on the stage).
