PHP can create flash, so theoreatically, you could do it dynamically. Not sure how good of an idea that would be though...

Also, I hate flash with a passion. FFS, this is the internet not powerpoint. I feel that as an end-user, I should have the right to view the internet (and the content contained therein) in a certain way. For me, that means I do not want the music you consider cool to blare over my speakers. That also means (in general) that I want to access information in a timely manner. With most flash pages I have seen, there is far too much sitting and waiting for content to load (well, not anymore. Hello cable.) and then watching it flash in. I don't really care how good you are, or how many effects you can cram into a site. Quite frankly, I just want to read your forums, or look at your calendar.

So use flash? Not use flash? There will be circumstances that flash is made for (IE: games, movies), but IMO, flash should never be a container for content.

Presentation is important. Content is important. But as a web designer, I think alot of what we need to do is keep in mind the objective. As a general statement, I do not believe the major objective of robotics team websites is centered around art, and thus should not (as a general rule) be focused on animating in page elements. It is needless annoyance usually. Make an attractive website, by all means, but never, never let it detract from the point of the site.
