i did this intranet site for mercedes benz at my first job..and the last thing i had to work on..was a tutorial for the computer illiterate people who were gonna be using the intranet....
anyway...
they had 6 minutes of audio voice over...and it was fully animated...
this was right when flash 4 came out...so..whatever...i did a decent piece...
except...
they wanted this shit to play with the flash java player... ...which is only compatible with flash 2....telling me this...AFTER i finish the flash 4 version...
...i found a manual for flash 2.to see the features..and had to take everything out that wasn't flash 2 compatable..which was like most of the presentation...
all because they didn't want to pay someone to go to all the dealerships and install the flash plug in...or none of their employee's had the common sense to go to a link for the plug in..and hit yes, yes, yes, okay...
well..this wasn't a dumb comment..but it was a dumb request...and yet another case of when i suggest something to a client...they turn it down..then..2 months later realize i'm right and change what they do...
like a month after i left that job...i got an im from one of my co-workers at that company asking if i knew where the intial flash 4 version was that i did..or if i had a copy of it because they decided to install plug in's...but i wiped my harddrive before i left and took all my shit that i did with me...cuz the ceo of that company was a dick...
