The thing is with Flash is that its ever changing and is always pushing to different platforms. As far as GUI's are concerned, it's all about speed, ease of use and usability of the end product. Flash has all these (providing the developer knows what he/she is doing), so is invaluable as a presentation tier. Personally, a lot of my time is spent building Kiosk systems and multi-tier applications, for which a solid server engine and a nice Flash presentation layer are invaluable.
Try doing the same with the next leading product :) As for content, what can't you display in Flash? If you have the information, then Flash makes a great portal to this data. Okay, so we don't have DirectX or OpenGL support here, but then, how often are those technologies used for non game related applications? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of skaller Sent: 14 March 2006 13:49 To: Neko intermediate language mailing list Subject: RE: [Neko] Streams On Tue, 2006-03-14 at 09:53 +0000, Lee McColl-Sylvester wrote: > Glad you're thinking my way :) Flash desktop applications are becoming > very attractive in the IT market Very UN attractive here. There is NO flash for AMD64.
