Re: FLASH: flash to combat browser issues

[John Dowdell]

Good point. There are two trends which strengthen this direction:


1)  Personal connectivity is increasing faster than desktop connectivity...

more and more devices, with more varied displays, will be used month by

month by month.


2)  Data-driven sites are increasing, where a template or smart client

integrates live data and presentation on demand.


The player is smart enough to pull data on demand, and interactive enough

to react to the visitor's desires, and small and fast enough to be ported

to many devices.


It can help today in avoiding desktop browser differences, but the

underlying trends will eventually make things even more exciting.
