From: "Dean, Robert"
My primary complaint about Flash-based applications is
that the browser back button is pretty much useless.

That's not a problem for me. Google Chrome even offers an option for running applications without an address bar and standard navigational buttons. It's not like applications need a Back button. MS Outlook doesn't have a Back button, for example. Most of my applications run in a portal, which offers navigational links, and I can press the Esc key to cancel modal activities like data entry and popup prompts.

If I were developing applications that ran under Flash I'd be more concerned about code reuse. In fact, that's an important question. Can you share code libraries, windows, and forms across multiple applications? And if so, are they shared by copy or by reference?
