Yet another reason not to trust Flash, or otherwise closed, proprietary software to begin with. Just recently, me and a friend were discussing how plain HTML (and CSS) web pages are inherently more trustworthy, given that you can look at its source code at any time; whereas those all-Flash pages, it seems that people make their pages all-Flash for no other reason than to hide its source, using the excuse of "visual enhancement" to cover their tracks.
Believe me, I'm all for sprucing up pages whose content and theme would need it, so that everything doesnt look like a sheet of paper, but until we get a (roughly) equal open-source counterpart, where we can SEE what's going on when we visit, then I say, "no thanks."
