Montanatennis,
I won't comment on the use of frames, because I use them myself from time to time. But, I do agree that the use of the same flash animation on every page is a bit redundant.
Also, the size of the animation poses a problem. It seems to me that it really doesn't need to be that big. It takes up a serious amount of vertical real estate on EVERY PAGE, causing the main content of almost every page to go "below the fold" (not visible without scrolling).
According to these stats
Browser Display Statistics, almost 50% are viewing your site at a resolution of 1024x768, and depending on the number and size of the toolbars in the users browser, vertical space can many times be less than 500 pixels.
With this in mind, you might want to consider slimming down your title/banner frame, and lose that flash animation on any of the pages containing important content. Or not.
For what it's worth.
