In general flash is not a good option for navigation in cases where SEO and accessability are important. I'm really looking for a way to do it with css, xhtml, and a little Javascript (so DHTML). What I'm doing is taking an image of a compass with each text navigation in where the North East West South areas are and having the pointer rotate around. Like I said I do not want to use flash but use DHTML similar to what this guy does - http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/index.html
