That being said, I also believe that there is a lot of room for improvement. One can only write about it so much, it's up to the designers and developers off this community to take the next steps. @MSFX above I can't agree with you on that point. Scrollbars are as synonymous with the Internet as the "Back" button is to a web browser. Most people will choose to scroll rather than click. @Howard C

It is extremely rare to find excellent designers who understand basic, minimalist, sleek design, but also know how to code well in Flash. By and large (I am sorry to say) the Flash site designs up on the Flash Templates section are, to be kind, a tad sub-optimal.

Otherwise scroll in Flash if you have to, much nicer and stops the grosse OS scrollbars ruining your life :D “Remember, it’s OK if your Flash SWF makes the browser scroll a bit”
