Andrew,
Actually the intended website contains 3 flashes per page, all of which
could be replaced with PHP and CSS alternatives, one of which shows the
local time in a decorative view, the second displays titles for cultural
campaigns, and the third shows the status bar of the internet radio adopted
by this cultural center. This is why I believe flash is not the best choice
in this case. And here's the English version of the website for your
reference:

Thank you for your feedback.
