You're taking my comments out of context. My developer is perfectly capable of architecting a Flash application to save bandwidth. That is what is important to me though. What is important to me is meeting the business requirements of an application with a very good UI. If that requires more bandwidth than so be it. Bandwidth is cheap; support costs from bad UIs are expensive.
