QUESTION: Why is this site done as a Flash/HTML hybrid?
ANSWER: By embracing the most popular and advanced web-technology on the Internet, Macromedia's Flash, we can present richer content to you. Sometimes, Flash can compress content into smaller file sizes, while at the same time amazingly having higher quality if it would've been presented through traditional web-media, like JPGs and GIFs.
....... But also, with Flash, we can present to you a level of interactivity and motion not available in traditional static sites. We can even have full motion video and sound displayed on our site with Flash technology!
