Sorry but I have to take issue with your 9/10 figure. At least half of all people surf the internet at work on company networks that don't allow activeX components to be downloaded or run and that includes Flash animations.netware said:i'll have to disagree, 9/10 people have the flash player, and if they dont have it, its easy to install and its small too. the crawlers might not index full flash sites, but there is always a way to go around, and manage to get it crawled.
flash gives you more freedom as a designer
