Have to agree with Daftdog.
Flash is great, but like anything else, less is more, it only works when used in moderation.
How many times have you visited a website and the whole point of the site has been lost due to the creator using overkill to show how great a website developer he/she is?
Used sparingly, and tastefully, it's a great tool.
Don't forget there are loads of decent 3rd party applications out there to save you a lot of hassle, and also you can reverse engineer someone elses site and change it to suit using some of the highly useful flash decompilers also out there in cyberland.
There are also a load of tutorials, video courses, books and resources available for download.
If on the other hand you are planning on developing flash animations or games , then that's a different ball game.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
