Just to add a point about the learning curve... Actionscript and javascript are very close cousins. Many javascript programmers I know have been able to pick up Actionscript with minimal effort - the main conceptual difference is the time itself is an event in Flash, and you need to account for its passage.

I would like to agree with Ray and Mike on a lot of their points. Flash does not necessarily equal more time. It has a learning curve no doubt, but so does HTML/CFML. If you were a Visual Basic programmer, you might say "why should I build this application in ColdFusion when it would take me half the time in Visual Basic?" We do Flash MX applications exclusively at my company and our project bids are not higher than the HTML equivalent and we usually offer more because the Flash interface simply offers more than HTML/DHTML ever could. ..
