– those in charge who have done their research
– marketing

The first are usually the projects more likely to succeed and pay well anyway because they know Rich can only truly applied to Flash, not XUL or anything attempting to look as cool as well as keep said coolness across platforms.

The second may seem like the enemy, but they are not. They have mad dough usually, and are looking for more sophisticated advertising which Flash floating ads are just a tincy part of the grand scheme, so you can still include RIA’s within it.

Keep the faith, hang in there, and don’t let it get you down!

It works against us trying to push Flash as a tool to create RIAs. If I had a dollar for every meeting where I brought up a Flash solution and heard “you mean that cartoon thing?” or “You mean that thing that brings up the annoying ads?”. I just usually slump back in my chair.
