I was thinking that the speed issue might be the response I got most often. For the project that I am thinking about implementing with flash forms, the forms themselves will not be too complex. And from my experimenting, the speed might not be too much of an issue.
On a side note, if ActionScript and Flash Remoting were used, all db transactions could be done without a page refresh. Assuming that users will spend a fair amount of time manipulating db information, wouldn't the fact that the page does not need to be refreshed/reloaded make up for any speed delays in loading the flash form initially? Are there any other types of bug/bizarre behavior that any has experienced? Thanks for all replies.

Steve, I've used them before, but found them to be too slow in loading. I love the way they look and function once they finally load, but I never could use them because it took too long to load. I kept thinking I might have been building them wrong, so I tried a bunch of different ways, and still took like 15-20 seconds for the forms to load on the page. That was enough for me to say they aren't really ready for prime time yet.
