Flash makes your site heavy - Why and Where to use it?

Some web designers think that flash should not be used on their websites.

Reasons:
* Page takes more time to load
* Visitors need to wait more time until it's loaded
* Not Search engine friendly
* Requires more space

But you cannot neglect the importance and its role in world wide web.
When it comes to its beauty and eye-catching animations [mostly website intros] you cannot think of going to another website until you view it all, am I right?

Some Reasons to use Flash on your website:
* User attraction
* Eye Catching animations
* Present your message in a better way
* Audio - video embedding
* 3d objects embedding

OK, where should we use it then?
* Music band websites
* Entertainment related websites
* Online Tutorials
* Online presentations
* CD-ROM presentations / catalogs
* Light banners in any type of website
* Studios websites web-design / software
* etc.
