Why? Flash is great for interactive advertisement - today biggest media company (and theirs e-newspaper Idnes) switched to Flash and one reason was - it's better for our clients - we can embed all types of advertisement to this content. But on the other side - this Flash version is working better than previous using WMV with crippled embed tags.
