How many pages?

If you're totally reworking this site, you should SERIOUSLY consider moving
it to a server that allows SSI, or anything else that will achieve the same
job (PHP, ASP).

You can do a JavaScript hack to detect Flash and offer alternative content
for non-Flash people.  However, I would recommend NOT using Flash at all,
especially for the main navigation of the site.
