Aaarrghh :)
Java script does this nicely. I use it now and again for real estate clients. Flash is the devils spawn and the only thing worse than flash is a flash coder ;)
I have seen at least two Flash sites that I thought were done well. One was something Kodak did to showcase something historic, and the other is a local pizza shop who have a very good web-based ordering system.
From what I've seen of the new Flash 8 it looks like a big improvement both in features and client-side performance. But just like any other technology, good tools can still be used to create rubbish applications. And annoying ads :(
FWIW I do have a copy of Flash here - the price of Studio MX (contains 4 apps) was exactly the same price as buying the two apps I wanted separately. I must get around to learning it sometime.
