In addition to all that, I can tell you that from testing I have done, flash banners don't really seem to pull all that much better than regular animated gif banners. If anything, you take a bigger risk that various filtering programs might not allow your flash to be seen, or will require some action from the user before they see it. That really isn't good for getting people to click.

The best uses of flash I have seen are things integrated into the site design of sales pages to make the sites look more "alive". I have not seen many good uses in free sites.
