Re: FLASH: DHTML site comparison with Flash

[Michael Penne]

Comments:


Demos were ok, not sure they were faster than have could been done with

flash, though...


I'm not sure where they are getting their figures, but 85-95% machines

_having_ a 4 series browser sounds quite high to me. (liars, damn

liars, lawyers, and statisticians!) Though changing from 'flash _is on_

65% to DHTML _can be read by_ 85% is a bit disingenous...I'm quite sure

that 85-95% is much too high for people actually _using_ a 4 series

browser!


Further, _downloading and installing_ a 4 series browser is much more

of a chore than dl-ing the flash and/or sw plugs, no? (even dling a .x

upgrade to a browser!)


And further on, dhtml behaves differently (sometimes _quite_

differently) on IE 4 vs NS 4, though the later versions cleared this up

somewhat...however fonts alone are a good enough reason for me to much

prefer flash over dhtml! 


Although if you want some real fun stuff with dhtml, etc. 

http://tstudio.usa.net/ is pretty kewell...:-)
