Having flash is not bad. It makes website visually appealing and catchy. But having said that, it is advisable NOT to use flash particularly in certain parts of the website e.g. navigation menus, internal linkings, headings & keywords targeted content, if you want website to be search engine friendly.

Search engines find difficulty in crawled content contained within flash however Macromedia has come up with Flash SDKs that help to design search engine friendly flash elements. But still having less flash or using it strategically would be advisable like using flash in smaller areas of webpage, splitting into smaller pages, avoid using flash in site navigation, important content etc, try not to use flash in entire homepage & placing a crawlable link, helping to move to other internal pages.
