My personal view is that flash (when done right) is great, but given some other factors, I'd prefer using it within the paysite member area rather than out.. to me the outside is more of a selling feature or billboard, i want it SEO to snare that free targeted traffic, use other methods like TGPs and such for traffic too, where page load is critical.

Once they have bought in, I'd say page load takes less prominence, plus SE is moot. And i'd say flash (used properly) is a great member retainer rather than as a selling tool.

but just my warped opinion.
