As i started this thred i will also close it and sum the results.
I find that we, professionals on wen development are mostly
negative to the full flash publishing and also have a attitide
that standards are able to implement.
What do we do when a client wants flash and dont really understand
the neg or pos difficulties.
Do we still want the money to produce their website or do we say no
because we are web standard freaks and would never touch such a
bad usability and accessibilty project dirty money hahaha..
Well would we...??
Content is king but i think also money is Queen or very closely
related to the majesty also...

OK for people whose priorities lie in form rather than substance, but
generally no small impediment for many others. Flash players do not exist for
every GUI web browsing environment, and AFAIK, they exist for no text-only
browsing environment. The exclusivity means lockout, both to real users, and
search bots.
where is the usability and accessibility for flash in general??
As a practical matter, non-existent. As long as Flash content ignores browser
default text size (same as CSS px font sizing) and text zoom (worse than CSS
px font sizing), it locks out the many people who can't read its virtually
universal mousetype or make sense of its itty bitty images. "Flash" is
functionally a synonym for "content-free" for an arbitrarily large number of
people, sighted users with low vision (or even average vision) and/or using
high resolution displays.
