I can get you a top quality pro flash designer. You can see some work here: www.hellomonster.ca Let me know if you are interested. I also have others on staff that can do the job. Cheers.
I'd suggest doing your banner in jQuery. With Flash, only 2 in 5 users (40%) will ever see your banner; the other 60% won't see it. On the other hand, 97% of users worldwide have Javascript enabled and they'll all be able to see a banner done in JS or jQuery. All sorts of interesting animations and other effects can be done in jQuery to create a banner like the one on the wolfram.com homepage; it takes more work on the programmer's side; but when I'm developing a website, the extra work is justified by the fact that I'm reaching a much wider audience. I could make the time to help you with this project, PM me if interested.
Not exactly true. Everyone who has used youtube at a certain point of time has flash. That should be more than half according to me
OK, let's assume my number of 40% is incorrect, and your estimate of "should be more than half" is correct. If 51% of the Web users can see your Flash banner, it still means 49% cannot. That's not acceptable for the sites I've developed. Moreover, the audience that Flash has today will never be any larger, because even Adobe acknowledges that Flash is on the way out. Per Wikipedia, "In November 2011 Adobe announced the end of Flash for mobile platforms or TV, instead focusing on HTML5 for browser content and Adobe AIR for the various mobile application stores. Pundits questioned its continued relevance even on the desktop and described it as 'the beginning of the end.' "There is no Adobe Flash Player for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch). The iPhone accounts for more than 60% of global smartphone web traffic and the iPod touch makes up more than 95% of "mobile Internet device" traffic. This hurts Adobe's ability to market Flash as a ubiquitous mobile platform. "The mobile version of Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Phone does not support Flash. The IE9 web browser on Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 ('Mango') does not support Flash either. CNET writes in "Flash Use Dips At Top Web Sites Since November" <http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20052018-264.html>: "Web-page speed guru Steve Souders, putting to use the latest in a string of useful tools he's created, has found that the top 17,000 Web sites have eased off use of Adobe Systems' Flash Player in the last half year. Specifically, Souders has started showing data collected by his HTTP Archive project, which logs a wide range of statistics about a collection of 17,000 top Web sites. He began logging data last year but only announced the HTTP Archive at the end of March. "The site lets people compare statistics about how Web sites are built from two points in time. One figure that's interesting, given Apple's high-profile attempt to wean the browser world from its reliance on Flash, is a 2 percent drop in Flash usage from 49 percent on November 15, 2010, to 47 percent on March 29. That's not a huge fraction, but it is probably notable given that it took place over only four and a half months." Slashdot reports in "Adobe Stops Flash Player Support For Android" <http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/12/06/29/1214231/adobe-stops-flash-player-support-for-android>: "Adobe has finally seen the same light Steve Jobs did in 2010 and is now committed to putting mobile Flash player in the history books as soon as possible. Adobe will not develop and test Flash player for Android 4.1 and will now focus on a PC browsing and apps. In a blog post, they wrote, 'Devices that don’t have the Flash Player provided by the manufacturer typically are uncertified, meaning the manufacturer has not completed the certification testing requirements. In many cases users of uncertified devices have been able to download the Flash Player from the Google Play Store, and in most cases it worked. However, with Android 4.1 this is no longer going to be the case, as we have not continued developing and testing Flash Player for this new version of Android and its available browser options. There will be no certified implementations of Flash Player for Android 4.1. Beginning August 15th we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th.'" As I noted in my previous message, Javascript/jQuery enjoys nearly universal support in browsers, roughly 97% of users have Javascript enabled, it's platform-independent, and it'll be around years from now.
