I haven't looked at exactly what code Flex is automatically building in HTML to render the Flash--definitely something to look into. That said, pointing out that more people have Flash enabled than Javascript wasn't to attempt to assert any sort of exclusivity; only to emphasize that any argument about the depth of Flash penetration at this point simply does not hold water.

Just something to keep in mind... ;-) “More people have Flash than have Javascript enabled”
