No that would not be accurate. Flash's animation engine is designed for
animation. It's smooth and slick and scales when you zoom or draw back
(vector graphic stuff). Ajax animation is basically HTML smoke and mirrors
- good stuff and works well
Thanks, everyone for all the different perspectives. I know that if I were

framework talk dominating the 'airwaves', I'd probably go with PHP or something
else, because there is no real benefit to Coldfusion if the

Just another direction to think about is Flex.
I've been a CF'er full-time since 1996 (V 3.1), so believe me when I say
I LOVE CF!

Mark,
Do you create your financial visualizations in Flex?

So basically, Flash's implementation of Ajax (generic
usage of the term) is faster than, say jQuery's?
Would that be accurate?
Not exactly, because Flash doesn't use AJAX.
