Nice tutorial – I think that in many cases a visual representation of a final design is much more useful than a set of functional specifications.

That said, I would advise caution when using this method, mainly clients – particularly where agencies tend to get carried away, in my experience, is with some of the additional presentation features which are possible in Flash. A cool pre-loader, swirly fade in-animation may be fantastic when it comes to impressing people when pitching a design, but really just sets everyone up to fail with unrealistic expections.

Be careful not to get carried away making something which is poor usability (but looks cool), or which is itself a pain to implement with vanilla HTML.
