I disagree, flash websites can be both functional and professional. In fact flash allows you do to animation and design websites that would not be possible in XHTML/CSS websites. I personally feel that flash is a great website design tool if used correctly. But it is very important to learn XHTML/CSS FIRST!!

I aggree totally with everything you said, Flash is amazing if used correctly but lest face it, when your just starting out, the chances of you knowing enough about programming and design are pretty low. Most people go over the top on flash when they first learn to use it...... myself included.

hence i said :

4) Forget flash, java & actionscript unless you have a really good reason

I will append it to say (or your building a flash website) .... but from what this guys asking i think a 100% flash website is maybe a little out of his reach at the moment.
