gabe... I'm talking about the extra click to activate the flash...
... old sites or existing sites are going to have a useability issue until dev folks pick up the slack and fix their html to call up a .js script to insert their flash...
... that usability issue is nothing else but that 'extra click' to active the flash.
Now - what about all these sites that use multiple 'pods' of flash placed w/divs... you'd have to click once on every embedded peice of flash to activate it's contents...
... that's the usability issue that I see scaring people (clients who jump to conclusions) away... that one little extra click... especially if a page requires a bunch of little extra clicks - that is going to annoy the hell out of people once everyone's IE is up to speed...
I fear it could annoy everyone enough that people start noticing Flash as being a pain-in-the-ass peice of the web as apposed to a way of delivering rich media w/out the end user knowing they're looking at Flash.
I could just be paranoid.
