I whole-heartedly agree. On all the pay site designs that call for Flash we not only keep it to "bricks" but we just started to use the TD Background image feature to have a non-flash image right behind it.
What I don't understand is how many people get this vehement response against Flash or anything that is an advancement in the medium. Wake up guys... the Internet is not going to be static 2D text and images forever... the more common broadband becomes the more you will have to have live television-like presentations to compete and gain attention from customers. Right now it's an argument because plenty of people are on modems. What do you think happens when people almost all have a wide pipe and they compare your little 2D site with one Vivid makes that is basically interactive TV?
People learning Flash now is the first step in an evolutionary process for designers to get to where they think in action and time dimensions in their designs. It's either that or there will be alot of people out of business because they never stepped up to the point where they could compete with the types of people making TV presentations now.

Niki - flash is no slower or faster than html.. it's all in how it's made.
