Hey

I’m the admin for this [site](http://www.lagerhaus.se) (in swedish) and I’m thinking of redesign it soon.

I thought Flash would be one of the best ways for the “square menu” but I wanted to ask you before i decide. Here’s some pro’s and con’s Ive come up with

- 

smaller file size?  
easier then fiddling with alot of divs  
more options to make cool animations  
no need to use gif or pgn to get a transparent bg  
will look the same in every browser

- 

bigger file size?  
does everybody use flash?  
harder to update?

Please let me know what you guys thinks about this.

Thanks in advance
