Of course. But 3D is just one thing you can do in Flash, so whatever UI
you care to imagine you can try out. Perhaps you'll discover something
that'll work better. To be honest I can't think of any compelling
argument to replace a regular site layout with one that looks the same,
but done in Flash. It would probably make the user experience worse
rather than better.
