I'd say Flash is mostly a problem because it frequently breaks all usability and accessibility guidelines AND it's the only thing on the site. Which is fine if your site has absolutely no serious purpose, but not good if you're a business. Not that Flash is incapable of being created in an accessible manner or anything; just that it is a format which lends itself more to art than communication. As I've taken to saying... there's a reason it's called "Flash" and not "Substance" ;) Most of it boils down to how you use it... just like PDF, it's ok if used carefully; but terrible when used for eeeevil ;) cheers, h -- --- <http://www.200ok.com.au/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
