I understand that choosing the right technology is a critical part of any project. One that should take all aspects of a project into consideration. Maybe FI has bigger plans for Kontain that are supported better by the flash platform. Maybe they found that delivering the product in something they are familiar with was the best choice, who knows...? There could be numerous reasons why they chose their development the way they did. What I do know is that to the end user the site is smooth and functional. One of the interesting things today is that while the Flash platform has it's hick ups and hindrances these same issues are almost being matched issue for issue with today's XHTML/CSS/JS implementations. -justen I guess my question would be why not….?

Customers are usually pretty naive and just hear "Flash is cool and cutting edge," so they want to be 'cool' and 'cutting edge' and choose Flash. They do not know what technologies exist, why to use them, etc. Besides, in this particular case, Kontain is a proprietary project. @Kerem

Sometimes they just say: "Make it in flash!" And then you have no choice but using flash, even its simple to create with HTML codes. I agree, but you should think about customers.

I totally agree. Flash has its purpose and it certainly c(sh)ould have been used on this site for some things.. I just think it was used completely improperly and inefficiently. Oh, well yes.

Although they should have used Flash here and there (for the multimedia content), they definitely started wrong, creating this piece in Flash. Maybe Adobe has an interest there. :) Good points here!
