Content Types
For flash content creation, the designer should realize that any hardware, including the IEC4600 Series,
has its processing limitations. Animations of small objects with little movement work very well. Many
small animations will work better than one big file if there are different types of movements.
Note Embed all desired fonts within a Flash file so that the font will display exactly the way you want it to
display.
When using Flash, you may encounter a problem with the Cobra browser failing to render the view if
you rely on the parameter: <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />. For example, upon clicking the
"Home" button the application redirect to "Home" page fails to refresh the screen. You can see a graphic
as you move your mouse across the screen so you know that the Home page loaded successfully but not
the graphics. The fix is to have the "wmode"(window Mode) property of the embedded SWF tag to
"opaque" instead of "Transparent" in the HTML file.
