Not always. Think of Flash as just sucking less than Java and Javascript regarding ease of use then. Flash doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be better than the alternatives to win.
Since I generally hate platitudes, I tweaked at this last sentence. In tweaking, I thought of a response: It's not true. If Flash is only marginally better than the alternatives but still leaves features or stability or compatibility to be desired, then the demand for something better will still remain. That demand translates into people willing to try the alternatives even when they're not necessarily better. It causes technical types to want to develop something better, and leaves a hole for an agile competitor to come and stomp on Flash. Flash, or anything, doesn't "win" by being just better than the alternatives. It would "win" by filling its role so near to completely that nobody *needs* an alternative. -todd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
