+1 on getting rid of the flash garbage. Never put your form before your
function. Flash breaks almost every rule of usability on the web and is exactly
the kind of thing that should be avoided at all costs.
It has its place in flash games, video and a few other niches, but the way it
is used on novell.com is just wrong. Everything Byren and the reporter said go
double from me.
In addition, I would also add that any text in flash is not resizeable, it
steal keyboard & mouse focus even when it is just a looped animation. Any
content there-in cannot be indexed by search engines.
As a professional web developer I tell my clients that flash is only to be used
when it is the right tool for the job(see games, videos). It is absolutely NOT
to be used for navigation(see usability) and it is certainly not to be used
because 'you just want some flash'.
Think about your use-cases and visitor roles, ask yourself what a given flash
element is going to do for them. You will find that much of your current use of
flash accomplish the following goals: annoy, distract, confuse, disable, slow.
I'm not saying it should all go, but much, but it should.
