    I have a new site that has some flash in the top menu and left side. Most of my text content sections are not in the flash. I also have a text naviagation menu aat the bottom of the site that has no flash. How much of and impact have on my site being seen. I am also wondering how many people can see flash. I can see it on my one computer with IE but not on my other when using FIrefox. Do most people have the flash plug ins? The flash we are using is made to work with plugins going back 4 years? Thanks

    i have read somewhere that there's more than 90% who can view flash. So dont worry about it, m8. I, in fact, has a site about flash template (in my sig) and i got like 200 unique daily and mostly from Search engine. So in otherword, yours is fine.

    Good luck :)

    i used to love flash sites, but now i stay away from them like the plague. They aint too good at being ranked in the search engines, and thats the only reason i shy away from them. they look good, but in my view, just arnt practical.

    It is not a flash only site. I am using flash in small parts of the pages. Still lots of HTML and text not inside the flash.
