Lately I've been trying to decipher certain elements of flash design like menu structure and the "point" of an interface.. and it's seeming more and more to me that exploring a flash site is alot like watching a film. I don't really mean "normal" flash use, as in standard menu submenu system etc.. but some more experimental flash work..

I think a major problem with flash sites is that they generally aren't for heavy use, like a port site that you go to all the time (like linkdup for me).. it's different for flash sites, content is arranged in a way so that it might be a very dynamic and non-linear content structure, but the intended end result of giving information to the viewer is very linear, the opposite of dynamic even.

I need more pepsi.. this isn't making any sense is it.
I'm going to post this and see if anybody has any thoughts on the subject of linear/non-linear flash design and the idea of flash sites as taking (in certain cases) cinematic approaches to narrative and the constructs of displaying content..

I guess my main issue is with content, because in some cases content can be very ephemeral, almost to the point of being art, can't it?!?

I'll try to write this over again when I feel more awake.
more clear and less pointless rambling.

Any comments are appreciated, I hope to hear interesting ideas.
