How to stop Flash adverts?
I use Firefox and Adblock to get rid of the annoying adverts on most of the web sites I like to visit. 
However some of them have started using the Flash Player to show adverts, most annoying, short of removing the Flash plug-in from the browser as it is useful sometimes, is there any way of getting rid of them?
Thanks in advance

I've got one machine with adblock that allows you to block flash and another with adblock flash that uses a blacklist downloaded and haven't seen a flash ad for ages.
Also has a little "block" tab on flash that does appear so dead easy to add a block.
Not sure on the difference between those plugins but will be moving to the plus one as the blacklist download works great.

and flash blockers arent making it easy for me...

InvisibleMan, your so transparent - if you don't like the idea of someone blocking your flash site, then do a version in html / javascript

erm okkkay im not sure how to react to what seems an unnecessarily sharp tone...i only thought i'd make it a little brighter by having a little swf logo rather than plan text.......

If you re-read my last post, you'll see a slight "tongue in cheek" phrasing, notably the 1st and 4th words

ah i see, not used to being called by my full name you see, most just ignore me....
anyways learning on the fly so my code's all-2-**** and things dont work right with ff and obivously need to work on the compatibility requirements. On the whole i do find some of these corporate animations annoying but you've gotta follow suit else your site looks boring
