Just want to add: * You can't easily save an object for personal use, such as a photo or video. * No mute button, it's up to the content creator to do that.

Just want to add: * You can't easily save an object for personal use, such as a photo or video. * No mute button, it's up to the content creator to do that. Is anything on the web more annoying? * Overuse. Purely a matter of taste, but every time I see a flash site animating content than really should be static I flash back to the days of <blink> and <marquee>. As a web developer I've encountered clients who consider flash the apex of website technology. They don't care how the site works or how it responds as long as it's "on flash".
