As a webdesigner Flash interfaces are primo if orchestrated well. I agree with what's been said already, splash pages can be ridiculous and are invariabley a waste of time. A competent link to "skip intro" is the best way around it. The average person starts out with a 56k - so unless you have cable, a T-1 or DSL there's no point for the splash page. I say there's nothing wrong with Flash exclusive sites. And BTW if you're trying to print (as already noted) a Flash page, hit Print/Screen and then paste into your graphics program like PS7 - it's not that difficult to do.
