Is it a good idea to create a web user interface using Flash?

The company I work for has a web-based user interface in which clients pay entry to gain access to data and management mechanisms.

We plan to launch a completely new version of this interface, and one of the options we are considering is to create it in Flash.

The argument for using Flash is that it will allow us to create a truly innovative, attractive interface.

My worries about this:

  • None of the developers currently know anything about Flash.
  • It seems to me that this will simplify the system (the current incarnation is built using PHP / HTML / JavaScript / AJAX).
  • I don’t know enough about Flash to be able to evaluate what impact this will have on initial development or maintenance.
  • I’m afraid that this will worsen the user’s work - slow loading time, on the one hand, and this will not work for people who do not have Flash installed.
  • He feels redundant. We want to show some nice graphics that I think we should build using something like Fusion Charts, but otherwise it would just be true for text and graphics. It seems that it would be dangerous for us to add pizza to that just for the sake of it, because we can.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I am not asking about public websites, but is Flash a good idea for an online user interface?

As already noted, do not use Flash if you really need ... And for bending, simply because it is developer friendly, this is not good, since flex swfs are larger and therefore slower to load.
