If only we could be so lucky. Personally, I think flash sites *SUCK* and would rather people didn't use it, especially if usage of the site depends on it. It's usually ugly, it means yet more junk hiding the information I want, and it puts a heavy load on my client machine. Save for about 99% of JavaScript that I see. It's usually doing something stupid, it adds useless stuff, and often puts a heavy load on my client machine.
