Re: Incorporating Flash into a Website

Hi All  agree with David and Josh. I was thinking primarily of the  
any the Flash banners that you can see at the top of many sites that  
don't really carry any extra meaning but do add visually to a page  
(or do when the are done well ;). I think that would still  allow  
validation if the page was semantically correct.
