I think i agree with all of the above, that using Flash for navigation
is not a good or applicable solution, even with appropiate fallback.
The only reason i could think of for using Flash in this case would be,
when a specific font is required, that will just not render properly
with
Hi Patrick,
i know thats the case with flash but what about the css/xhtml no flash
content that validates when you use swf object 2.0 static method. If
theres no flash support it degrades to normal xhtml navigation.
A more specific question is if the majority of users are using the flash

Assuming SWFObject 2 is like SWFObject 1 it writes your Flash file
into a named Div. This div can (and should) hold alternative/falback

Regardless of whether you stick alternative navigation in the div that's
going to be replaced, I've personally found using Flash for navigation about
the worst use of Flash possible. Are you sure that you cannot achieve what
you want by using HTML with some enhancements thrown in by javascript?
There isn't really a way for a search engine to see how many times a link
has been clicked. It is however possible for a search engine to see / count
how many links are pointing to a page (either internally or externally),
thereby measuring its 'popularity'.

I know that there are a lot of free javascript libraries available for
you to use without having to go to the extent of programming your own
javascript features.
things like dhtml goodies and scriptaculous, I'm sure the group has some
other options but this is getting off topic now. a quick

without flash, no navigation; not crawled/indexed by search engines; not
keyboard-accessible in firefox; even in other browsers, not accessible
unless you make damn sure
If you want to use a flash based navigation system and you are using swf
object then I would use the no script area to include a CSS based navigation
system for non-flash users. This way it can be searched by Google etc and be
user accessible.
i.e.
div id=flash_navigation
ul id=navigation
