Yeah do, or if you could explain in a bit more detail how your method would work?

The pros of the flash method are that it's easier to construct and you can be guaranteed that it will look exactly right on any computer with flash.
The cons are that some people don't have flash or just don't like flash (flash-bashers on this forum :P)

The pro of the CSS is method is that if coded properly (i didn't bother with any cross-browser testing, it works in FF and that's good enough for me) it will display the same on any modern browser, but if you make a mistake it could easily mess up for someone.
The cons are that it requires more thinking to create it than the flash version.

Both versions are pretty much the same size (about 350kB) so there's little improvement there on either version.
