Bells and Whistles
A little motion can go a long way on a site. That’s our take on using Flash in a website.
Some of our clients have sites built entirely in Flash. While they really cool, they're practically invisible to search engines and don't use CMS:

www.designdevelopment.com
Most of our clients who use Flash use it in some sort of window on the home page. This allows for CMS integration and visibility among search engines.

We like Flash. When we have good photography to work with, we prefer to develop a little (or a lot) of Flash into each of our web projects. A little sound can work with Flash, too. In fact, most of the videos we post are converted to Flash for faster load time (see video section on www.cobletrenchsafety.com.
Yes, Flash does increase cost, but if your site is the front door to your organization, you need to greet your guests with an impressive, effective message.
