I agree. You don't always need Flash, especially if all you are looking to do is create some smooth transitions. You can achieve the same effect working with Ajax and Flex in HTML. This results in a much lighter, more gracious site, which can be loaded more easily, even over the slow dial-up connections. Same thing in Flash would be much is heavier and will be most effective if you are only looking to target office workers/high end residential users in Moscow and St. Petersburg, where broadband is more widespread.

That's actually a very poor decision especially if you want search engines to be able to find your site. If you look at any web design book, they will always tell you to do as much as you can the simple way using HTML, CSS and text and images and add flourishes and non-essential touches using Flash. Using just HTML and CSS can be very creative and secondly, very easy to update and/or change down the road. Take look at the CSS Zen Garden (google it) and you'll see hundreds of examples that use one HTML file and display it in very creative ways using only CSS. Just my two cents.
