Yes, that will work, but once you stop using ordinary HTML, you begin to
decrease the number of people (i.e. real people who want to contact you,
not spam bots) who will be able to use the address. For instance, on my
main browser, Flash is deliberately disabled, as is Javascript (for most
sites), so I'd never see a Flash-based email address. That's not a
problem as long as you provide a form-based method of contact as an
alternative to the Flash, but doing so is more work than just using a
plain HTML address. And as long as you're willing to put yourself to the
trouble of providing a contact form, you might as well just write the
address using Javascript since that's a lot simpler than using Flash.
