Define bias ;)
1. Flash is an AWESOME tool for giving presentations. I'll take it
over PowerPoint any day. (BTW, if you have a PP to start with, export
it as a series of WMFs, then import the first WMF into Flash. Say yes
when it asks if you want to import the whole series. There they are,
frame by frame. Make a layer with nav buttons, and now you have a
familiar -looking- presentation format, that you can sprinkle real
animations in where they'll have impact. But I digress...)
2. Flash is great for intranets, where you can control (or at least
specify requirements for) the client machines.
3. For general internet use ... YMMV ;) See the archives for all
those arguments. But if you discussed _this_ point with me, I'd
probably come off as "anti-Flash". For now. I do like that they're
adding accessibility hooks :).
