Interesting Flash survey i took part in yesterday from a twitter i follow :
Can I get a quick strawpoll folks? Would you mind? ...Websites built *completely* in flash: Yay or Nay? (and why) Thank yououou :)
Result:
Flash Survey Results: 75 Replies - 67 Nays, 4 'It Depends' and 1 Yay.
Re-affirms thoughts i've had about web design. Being on the account side of things, the problems and headaches thrown up by Flash far outweigh its benefits in my opinion, and having been in an emabrassing client meeting where the client asked me to demonstrate a site on an iphone, only be greeted by the *Flash doesn't load* icon, i have to agree with the above.
When budgets allow and the purpose suits, Flash can lead to amazingly interactive and genius sites, but often it obscures functionality that good old HTML does so well.

Flash sites can be indexed now, so searchability for Flash sites will improve. But I still prefer flash as a tool to embelish good ol' fashioned semantic content styled by some righteous CSS. Check out CSS Remix for some nice sites.
That orange website is dope. Now if only i could get some signal....
