    - The world caught on to Youtube which requires flash for flv playback - end user's will have Flash
    - It's internal library is exceptionally robust allowing you to do anything dynamic you can pretty much think up these days - connect to databases, send and receive info... interact with filthy web-cammers etc etc
    - It's smooth and clean in appearance - regardless of end-user OS, browser etc... the fonts, colors, pixel orientation etc will be duplicated
    - It's much easier to manipulate / create 'exactly' what you want in flash - your control of pixels and all your browser real-estate is ridiculously 'easy'
    - oh yeah... you can animate with it. :)

    ----drawbacks----
    - shitty on mobile devices
    - depending on content and how you wish to end-users to load your files - files can be rather large in size

    • lets see if and when the flash plugin appears on the iphone.airey
    • i know it... it's odd that it has a youtube player though.turk_182
    • you're right.airey
