    i do alot of both now a days

    i use flash for things that are pretty difficult to do in html+css+js or that need consistency that i cannot get

    an example:

    on a new site, i have a way for them to feature past projects they have worked on, which on the front end is a flash movie that reads in the data it needs from a db backend i wrote

    on the same site, i have an order tracking thing that fires an ajax call on submit that fetches the order status (actually returns a div with all the html content) and places it in the page without refresh

    i did the featured content in flash so i can advanced animation, etc

    i did the order tracking in html so i can have a backup html page that looks similar and so the text is easily selectable, etc
