Actually, there's a fabulous article in this month's 'Creative Review'
about how flash 8 is like, totally f'shure going to be the coolest thing
to happen to marketing in like EVAR, which goes on for three pages and
doesn't once mention accessibility.
Looks pretty though. ;-)
Aw, fuff.
For creating your web-transportable eye candy, Flash is just
sooo last millennium now; it takes industrial-strength AJAX abuse
to create classy browser bamboozlathons these days.
Plus, with no plugins required for AJAX in a modern browser,
the potential population of confusion is larger than ever. Hooray! :-)

While no browser plug-in is required for Ajax, it requires users to
have JavaScript enabled in their browsers. This applies to all
browsers that support Ajax except for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6
and below which additionally require ActiveX to be enabled, as the
XMLHTTP object is implemented with ActiveX in this browser. Internet
Explorer 7, however, will implement this interface as a native
JavaScript object and hence does not need ActiveX to be enabled for
Ajax to work.
