the best use of flash is to integrate it so that it isn't readily identifiable as being flash for the PURPOSE of it being flash... which is what the platinum bucks site and others like it say to me as soon as I see them. As soon as I go there, I am washed over with "Oh fuck... another stinking piece of flash crap", and I just wanna close it before I even see anything else..... so why is it there....
I'll tell you why..... that whirling spinning piece of flash is sitting dead center on the page for the sole purpose of showing you just how cool they are because they have a piece of flash on their site. And that's the wrong way to use flash.
the flash should be quietly enhancing the site.... not the other way around. Your site shouldn't be just a showcased frame for the flash. Unless you're Macromedia and you're actually selling the Flash tool itself. (yes, theirs is pretty obnoxious as well)
