That's a good question but Flash sucks if you have a slow connection.
I've removed Flash from every computer I've had since 1937.

Contrary to popular belief, it is believable.

Na, Flash only sucks on a slow connection if the developer doesn't know
how you create swfs correctly.

You may be right but almost all the Flash experiences I've had made me
wait "forever", didn't announced what they were to begin with, and
didn't inquire if I had the necessary software until *after* the damn
thing downloaded first.

Most (90%+ from my experience) Flash sucks. Developers don't know how
to optimize tweens, they bloat it with needless imbedded images
(usually because they believe they can only dynamically load jpg's) and
they haven a clue how to use Actionscript to eliminate needless
timelines and frames.

A good sign that your Flash is bloated is when you need a loader.

Yes. I like to save my loader for other things and Flash only when
necessary.
