Hi Barbra.
Flash isn't just for multimedia, it can be used to bring websites to life by
animating the whole browsing experience. In the case of the Nokia website,
flash is used to help you select your mobile phones model in an easy intuitive
way. I have flash on my broadband providers website as that is what drives the
speed test. I'm not a programmer or web designer alas, but flash has many many
uses.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Thanks for that. So really it is for multimedia purposes? So why would a site
which does not offer any media experiences use flash?

Hi Barbra.
What a question *smile*. Well, if you use the BBC IPlayer, YouTube and
about a dozen other popular websites that blind people visit, you'll not be
able to access the multimedia content that is offered if you disable flash. Of
course, that comes with a stick in that there are many websites that detect if
you have flash installed or enabled and then present a totally inaccessible or
very difficult user experience, for instance the Nokia PC Suite download page.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi All
I'm not a technical expert, so need some advice.
As a JAWS user I mostly have JAWS set to ignore flash on webpages, unless
it is necessary to change the setting to access the full features of a Website.
I was wondering what are the advantages of having flash on a Website? Are
they purely esthetic or are the advantages more than cosmetic?
