M$Yes, it is true that there are reasons why you should not use Flash on your websites. Although it is everywhere nowadays and there are some helpful benefits of using this application tool, you might consider to answer some of these questions before you decide whether to use Flash on your website or not.
1. Is Flash going to help you in communicating with your audiences? You need to decide whether or not it makes sense to use Flash. If using Flash will help you to be able to communicate with audience to address their concerns then maybe you can consider using it. But if it will annoy them or get in the way of reaching them so don't use it. On the other hand if you want to have subtle animations to help enhance users' experience and aim at having a media-rich content, Flash is an excellent choice.
2. Will your audience have the plug-in? There are some estimates that report that up to 85% of users have Flash plug-in with browsers but there are still 15% that are without plug-in and those who have outdated version.
3. Is it acceptable to have additional download time? Even if Flash is optimized, it will take some time to download it especially if it is a video or some movies. There are some who have slower connections who might not be able to wait.
4. Will you be able to have a good exposure on the search engines if you use Flash? Too much Flash will sacrifice exposure on the search engines. If search engine is important for you, be sure that you don't overdo Flash.
