Many web sites feature animated introductions based on Macromedia Flash that are entertaining, but rarely useful. However, this site for The Broadmoor, a luxury resort in Colorado Springs, CO, uses Flash for implementing an unusually efficient online reservations interface (which requires the Flash plugin, of course). Unlike the traditional multi-page, sequential procedure associated with most online purchases, the system allows guests to start and finish the entire reservation process on a single screen, which is dynamically updated based on user input and up-to-the-minute rate and availability information. The interface is populated with real-time booking and rate information from Macromedia's ColdFusion Server on the back end.
