Flash sites are a lot like splash pages, the only people who seem to like them are the developers and site owners that use them. Flash can be a great enhancement to a website when used properly, it should not, however, be the whole site.

Search engines rarely find substantial indexable content within the flash and users have no way to bookmark specific relevant pages.
