I would like to offer up an example of Good Flash Button implementation in web design.  The site in my example is primeview.com.  They are an arizona web design firm so you would hope that they know what they are doing.

Well, judging by their flash buttons alone, I suspect they do have a few good tricks up their sleeves.  Check out this video below with an example of how their flash buttons engage and inform a visitor or reader.  I found these to be pretty good, although I would give them an excellent if they had just a little bit of sound effects added in to give the buttons more texture.

Primeview also works in search engine optimization.  That is very important for small to medium sized firms looking for web design solutions.  Most small and medium sized companies need more than just web design or programming.  They need a business solution and functioning web site.  SEO helps a web site launch and operate in a way that is search friendly and on a good day brings in more business and leads.

They also offer a cool before and after gallery of images of websites that they have designed.  You will probably notice if you view this flash element yourself, that their own website is more advanced in appearance and functionality than many of their client websites.  This typically indicates to me that their clients have not bought into the concept of how the advanced features are evolving on the internet today or how they are being used.  Sometimes, that is a smart decision for a client to make, but in this case I suspect that their clients missed out on an opportunity to have some very good work done for them.
