Nielsen's usability report, Short summary

http://www.macromedia.com/newsletters/edge/december2002/a3.html

1. Flash to be designed as a part of the site. Not as a stand alone 'cool' component

2. Give control to the user. Don't force him into one way of operation

3. Make the users 'confident'. Thats the key to success

4. Do not use non standard GUI
