A graphic, be it on a website, a billboard, the side of a van, or anywhere else gives you an instant message. What the fuck is flash doing besides pissing off the guy looking at it whos trying to figure out why it's taking so goddamned long to get to the freaking end result already?

a graphic isn't any more instant than a flash file - a graphic has to load too. don't forget there are plenty of animated signs out there.. on billboards.. on the side of the road..
if you're just talking about to ability to waffle-on in flash then yeah i agree with you - but that's not flash's fault.. thats the developer not getting to the point.. the developer "not getting to the freaking end result".
I firmly believe my flashed sig ad wouldn't be as effective in conveying what i need to get across as a gif or static ad and certainly not in the same file size.
