Default Flash or No Flash ...take a look!

After the inspiration from Morgan and Jim M.'s Site, I added flash to my header....

I made a test page to show here and get advice. I made each photo a swf file loading the next to keep size down for dial up people...

But I really want opinions on the flash... should it stay or should it go?

Page with flash:

I would use flash on a site that I am promoting offline more than online.

I think it works well. A small use of Flash like that can go a long way - too much Flash can cause problems.

I would agree with SiteTutor, unless you are doing offsite marketing, it is best not to use flash.

Though I am not the authorithy in SERPs, I think flash might hurt your ranking a little since you used flash instead of words raise your ranking.

Thanks though.
