Re: FLASH: New Media OpEd pushes Flash- opinions?

[Robert Lewis]

Here's a few benefits not yet mentioned:


Flash is easier for a beginner to understand than HTML, even with the

Scalabitlity - At Ucon there was a Flash demo on a Palm Pilot!


Fewer compatibility problems. Sort of.


No wizards to help make our animations.
