Flash in a 1.54Mbps world?

[Andrew Ayres]

Hi Dave, DG and all,


I've been wondering, since DG's post, how Flash will fare in a world of

1.54Mbps DSL Lite modems. I think there will always be a need for vector

graphics, no matter how fast the Web gets. However, I would want to see

these streaming vector graphics work with streaming video and sound, as

well as searchable text. I want the ability to layer Flash movies over a

video sequence so, for example, the user gets glossy, vector buttons

alongside the video. I would also want text, stored in database, to be

pulled into the "Flash movie" on-the-fly as vector graphics text.


When 25 frames per second, full-screen streaming video with sound becomes a

norm, and the Web becomes a lot more like a TV screen, rather than a

magazine page, I would want the ability to layer the video, sound, vector

graphics, ascii text, bitmaps etc. into a synchronised multimedia experience.


er, I suppose Shockwave Director would then come of age.
