Ah...what might have been!
The textual content could have been managed by Spectra/CF with the Flash
objects being dynamically updated by Generator...as Fig Leaf has done
successfully in several implementations. The logging of dynamic content
items could have been accomplished through a variety of services --
including Spectra's Business Intelligence systems.
Now you can tell your client that with the merger, integrating these
platforms will only be getting easier...reducing their overall costs of
development.

Flash has one use, and one use only - making pretty animations that are
there to pad an otherwise bland page
One of our clients wanted us to make a completely Flash site - we told them
how long it would take to make updates (and thus us charging them), so they
took the option to do the updates themselves (surprisingly)
Occasionally you see something interesting in Flash, but it's an incredible
rarity...
I feel sorry for companies that only work in Flash, as they can't tell
clients who has been where on their site - either by something like
WebTrends or by logging to a database.
