This is correct. I work in this field. We would not use flash for menus, even if we did use flash elsewhere in the site, unless we absolutely had to, or the client required it. They can be very very shiny, but for menus themselves...it would be unwise.
Of course, it depends greatly on your intended audience. If your website contains flash games exclusively, it won't make any difference. The user would not have come to the website otherwise.
If your website is, on the other hand, for contact centers, then no, you wouldn't consider it. And yes, you would support IE6 until hell freezes over.
