While this is true, it seems very backward to need JS to view Flash
content...

I second what Steven says - to give you a bit of perspective, I worked
on the relaunch of fhm.com about a year or so ago, and we looked into
what implications there would be for requiring end users to have flash
to be able to use the site. As part of this, we used a thing called
browserhawk to understand what sort of systems people were looking at
the site with. We ran it for 24 hours and got feedback from 75000
visitors to the site. Of those, only 3 had javaScript disabled... Only
a snapshot of end users I know, but after that, I stopped worrying
about users w/o js.

You also have to consider what users are turning off Javascript.
First, Javascript is turned on by default. Second, you have to be
somewhat
savvy to know what Javascript is, much less turn it off, and also
know what
purpose turning it off serves. Third, you need to have a reason
to turn it
off. These things combined means that people who turn off
Javascript are
more than likely well aware of the consequences of this action,
it's not
just Flash that's effected. It's pretty much any plug-in and any
DHTML
site. Almost every site on the web uses Javascript now in some
form or
another. I wonder just how many people turn off Javascript and
are they
really worth going after? They obviously want a very limited and
controlled
web experience.
It's like trying to advertise on cable television channels to
people who
only have antenna reception. You're just not going to reach that
very small
audience, so get over it.
