Now sites load much quicker and I can open the flash content at my discretion. Still, you are absolutely correct about such content being more of a hindrance than help.

It's one of these cases where "less is more" isn't it. My advice is always to keep things as simple as possible but most Flash designers seem to miss this. Totally agree.

Most flash is worthless dazzle that adds nothing. As you mention, using it can add value but so often it is done poorly and just makes me go elsewhere. Web developers really should understand the ideas on useit.com and uie.com. I agree poor usability drives me crazy. Most flash is worthless dazzle that adds nothing.
