Flash sucks if you rely on the HTTP submission mechanism - the same
mechanism that is the default way of working for HTML forms. That's why
Flash developers were early adopters of the whole asynch approach.

How often do you see a HTML page with a "Loading..." spinner ? Flash
takes a hit when you do a reload of it. If you're good, it's a small
hit, but it's still too slow for an interactive app.
