boz,
thanks for helping out. i'm trying to keep my posts as concise as possible and it looks like it's too concise.
ok, so my point is that flash is mostly useful for the "feel" of a site. and to come down to it, when I say feel, I mean emotional aspects and ideas. ie. if you want to say your beer has less carbs, then text will do. if you want to say beer makes you look sexy, you can't just say it, you need to show it--with slo mo pics of naked chicks or something. you state facts, you demonstrate emotions. and you demonstrate with music, animations, colors, pictures, etc.
now, the type of people most adverse to flash are those people who don't feel emotion is important to web design at all. (see jn.)
ok, when I went off on branding, I got sidetracked. I should have said emotional branding (or something like that). but that phrase probably would have wiped out half of kni's staff.
You know, I'm going to stop reading the wall street journal. yeah. that's it.
