Yea, I agree with your comment. Contents that is available through xml for flash improves performance. Also given the user a choice to switch to version of site is good idea to meet end users viewing experience.

Now that's the way things should be done if an ENTIRE site is to be made in flash =] [1] http://www.simplebits.com/work/mtv/ I'm actually working on a browser-based multiplayer game with a friend of mine that will work in this way, hopefully it'll be the first truly accessible one too.
