Yes, that's why people shouldn't design flash only sites. Sure it might be fine for people who like to make funny videos or something, but for a business it is a stupid idea. Personally, if my bank decided to do something so ludicrous I would change banks. I have flash enabled in my browser, only so I can see the advertising, which I block with adblock-plus ;-) Honestly, I think it is a shame that flash has become a de-facto standard when Macromedia (now Adobe) refuses to create the players for all systems. If they refuse to create the software, the least they could do would be to open the standard so that others could. Alas, that doesn't seem to be the case, and Adobe is historically bad at this sort of thing. It seems they are firmly in the MS camp, as are some other companies. Alas, there is little we can do but hope that someone can reverse engineer the format well enough to create packages that you can use. Don't hold your breath because by the time they do, there will be a newer version that everyone else moves to. A harsh bit of reality if you ask me.
