Os 20 melhores trabalhos de sempre realizados na plataforma Flash pela revista
.net. Fiquei nostálgico ao rever Eye4U, aqui na lista em 8º lugar. É sem dúvida um clássico, e ver isto em 98 na web, através de um modem 56Kb, foi um impacto tremendo, uma sensação de maravilhamento (já passaram 10 anos, impressionante). Eye4U foi o reconhecimento do poder dinâmico do flash da possibilidade de fazer uso de todo o browser sem preocupação com a resolução do ecrã, do uso de música com sentido visual e qualidade superior ao mero midi, muito em voga no html. Foi com este exemplo que o Flash se consagrou por completo e se afirmou como uma necessidade na criação diâmica para a web.
