Yes. > Do you think it does > or will ever make since to use it for your full blown applications? Yes. I doubt it will ever make sense for a whole websites. Content oriented sites for the general public can reach a level of functionality in XHTML that I don't see Flash reach anytime soon, not even at the current speed it is developed. But integration of Flash components can already make sense (but not for splash screens, never). However, for client-server applications that are now mostly written in C++/VB/Java and run over an intranet, I think Flash is a real killer. All those SAP/PeopleSoft/BAAN/MedWare etc. applications now require extensive installations on the client, with all the problems they generate (dependencies, incompatibilities with applications requiring a different MDAC version, no client available for platform X etc.). In this area, Flash can shine.
