First, Flash isn't an "image format". It is an application capable of designing any interactive scenario one can conceive, which HTML is not capable. if you know what you're doing you can optimize a flash site by coding each scene, or "movie", so that it appears as a new page. You can use the back button. A little ingenuity is all it takes. Flash is not just used for banners and intro animations. A flash site is emedded into HTML; thus, you code the HTML for optimization as you would any other site. I suggest that the search engines adapt to flash, rather than vice-versa. I know it's hard to learn new things, people; just learn to adapt. By the way, Claran, many sites are made completely in .gif. You know, Photoshop? Hi everyone,

That said, if you wouldn't create an all .gif site you shouldn't create a site entirely in Flash either. Unlike SWFObject, sIFR provides the ability to provide one "version" of text content and one that is not not hidden in a DIV. </p> Hey Lisa,

Great post and I couldn’t agree more, folks could misinterpret Eric’s statement.

We're just putting the finishing touches to our new site and plan to incorporate flash elements in the header bar, to make it really engaging. We're also using <a href="http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/" rel="nofollow">SIFR</a> to allow post headlines to use a sexier font. Flash - it can be your friend; so long as it's not your only friend! Great post Lisa – but then hey, what’s new there?
