I guess the next step is to try it on for size, say with a mid size project? Maybe even get Catalyst into the process? Really nice to get a quick overview.

Agreed, it's generally good to mix Flash with HTML, especially for parts of the application where Flash isn't required/doesn't bring anything extra to it (i.e. settings, account details etc). One should always make sure to apply the different techniques where most suitable, with everything from user experience to technical requirements in consideration. With "large" Flash applications, I was mainly having web client games - Club Penguin and even Farmville, for example - in mind. Our own DiceArena dice games and arcade games are of course in this category as well. Thanks for the comment, Martin!

But regarding _large_ Flash applications, I think it may be difficult to find information on that because you typically don't do large Flash applications. I'd say that it's often a better idea to mix HTML and Flash instead of using Flash for everything. Good presentation.
