Flash is a very effective and powerful tool, only if used properly. We use this tool everyday for a variety of purposes, right from web banners to full desktop applications. As far as using Flash for your website is concerned, it can be used in the following ways:

• Flash can be used for secondary objects like a banner, animation or an image gallery.

• Using Flash can allow designers to create great media-rich sites that attract and engage visitors.

• However, when using Flash, sites tend to be limited as far as text is concerned.
