That's what I thought. I used to like flash, but I HATE IT. My fellow GFY'ers have convinced me that it sucks.
Maybe that's a bit harsh, sometimes it's good if it's a flash movie or something cool like that fight film. But for adult sites, and navigation, it's not worth limiting your surfer base just because you want to do flash. Plus, I've heard that the novelty of flash is wearing off.
Remember there are still people who use the old 56k connection

, or still have old non-flash supporting browsers.
What's more important to you, a sell, or really neato graphic.
On my boss' site I built a super simple navigation flash (against my will) and it's 14k in size. Those same links, if they were text, would be under 300 bytes.
You do the math.
