Hi. Is there any flash in this code (it's for a rollover)? I am paying someone to do a flash rollover for me, and it seems to my untrained eye to be simple javascript. I'm not an expert, though... Thoughts??
<html>
<head>
<title>homerev</title>
<meta>
<!-->
<script>
<!--
function newImage(arg) {
if (document.images) {
rslt = new Image();
rslt.src = arg;
return rslt;
}
}
function changeImages() {
if (document.images && (preloadFlag == true)) {
for (var i=0; i<changeImages.arguments.length; i+=2) {
document[changeImages.arguments[i]].src = changeImages.arguments[i+1];
}
}
}
var preloadFlag = false;
function preloadImages() {
if (document.images) {
homerev_01_over = newImage("images/homerev_01-over.gif");
preloadFlag = true;
}
}
// -->
</script>
<!-->
</head>
<body>
<!-->
<a href="#"
onmouseover="changeImages('homerev_01', 'images/homerev_01-over.gif'); return true;"
onmouseout="changeImages('homerev_01', 'images/homerev_01.gif'); return true;"
onmousedown="changeImages('homerev_01', 'images/homerev_01-over.gif'); return true;"
onmouseup="changeImages('homerev_01', 'images/homerev_01-over.gif'); return true;">
<img></a>

</body>

There is no Flash in there. A flash file would be embedded within OBJECT tags, like this:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="600" height="320">
<param name="movie" value="swf/flashmoviename.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="swf/flashmoviename.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="320"></embed></object> |

none of my business, but I'm confused why it would matter if it was flash vs js. If anything, the js will work almost anywhere while flash will require a not-always-installed plugin. Plus a typical js rollover button will still work as a button if js is off on the client.
FWIW, I'd prefer js for navigation areas (which I assume the rollovers are for) to make sure my site is accessible.
just my 2c

I agree, I never was a fan of flash, though it can be done really well. I guess I just never got into developing flash, it seemed so gimmicky. |

Guys,
I think it is a question of scale. If you are delivering a small app to a large audience (ie navagation for a page) scripting is better. If you are delivering a large complicated app to a select audience (ie online training) than flash is better. It just depends on what you are trying to do. |
