Yea, the reason I'm leaning toward this method is because I hate Flash
so much.
Don't get me started with Flash. It's more trouble than its worth in
on so many points.
When you use DWeaver to embed flash it sends up a crap loads of errors
when validating the call here.

Dreamweaver/Flash is a PITA let me tell you.
FYI: I would NEVER use Flash for navigation.
