I've got to add my 2 pence worth...

I'm a Flash developer/designer/whatever. I look at impressive sites done in
Flash and go oooh, ahhh, that's nice. Then move away never to return.

I've done one website in Flash, and only begrudgingly and I hated the end
result.

Virtually all my development work for Flash is offline or in online
training, where there's no other software that can touch the flexibility,
good quality and power of Flash.

I wholeheartedly agree, Flash should only be used for a website if you're a
designer type trying to show the world an "ooh, ahh" type website. Flash
online is excellent for games, video, adverts (without sound please!), web
applications (depending on requirement), demonstrations, training,
presentations, visualisations and animations within normal html content.

Although FlashPaper is better than PDF... :o)

Totally agree with that, i dont hate flash, i just hate the wrong use of
flash, like full websites made in flash with stupid navigation that you need
to think hard to use just because the designer wanted to be "original".

Flash is good for games, ad banners and video content, thats about it.
