I'm not saying there isn't room for all-Flash sites, Michael, I just thought that for a truly solid and accessible interface, Flash just wasn't the way to go. The linked site above crashed my computer and I have a pretty solid machine -- it hogged WAY too much RAM and took a too long to download.
"Pretty" or "cool" or "desirable" doesn't make a site usable. I used to be a total Flash advocate until I started designing sites for wide audiences. Perhaps someday Flash will be completely accessible and usable for everyone, but I'm not convinced it's there yet. BTW -- most of those highly-paid actionscripters don't have a iota of usability training -- the site linked above and the link you posted is proof of that. I got the hang of the site listed above after a while (after rebooting my laptop twice), but for something that's angled for commercial means an all-Flash site is just not accessible for everyone. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
