Plenty of large (and not so large) company sites use Flash for navigation, and the target audience doesn't have issues with it. I quite like some of them, and I view them in OS X, which technically has relatively poor performance with Flash.
Take the Astak website for example. There is a flash menu that incorporates some nasty annoying animation. It makes me want to then go to someone else and buy a reader there and NOT recommended their product to anyone else even if it is a perfect fit.
