How is the 123 Flash Menu script not functioning properly?

Why Flash? Have you considered DHTML as an alternative? Here is a listing of DHTML menu scripts.

Yeah flash isn't good. Use DHTML/JS

I use the internet for information and communication, I don't care how it looks as long as it's readable, stupid flash graphics and animations just slow things down and get annoying.

bro , how could you expect that all people use internet for the same purpose? There are many fancy users , kids browsing internet.

do you think the mighty walt disney site looks great if they dont flash ?

presentation is a thing, you cant ignore that. You may not like flash thingies but site for promotional activites , kids and other fancy purposes need them.

meh I hate the fact that the internet is popular and a place where everyone thinks they can just go to try and sell you stuff, that's not what it was made for.

and as I said, anything that can be done in flash can be done much better in DHTML and JS

I don't have flash plugins installed, I don't view flash, doesn't look good and presentable to me does it?

flash navigation is extremely bad for the search engines. Consider alternatives like suggested above.

Absolutely right !

Flash should not be used for building websites. There are only a few flash sites that have a good PR. Rest all hardly have any !
