I disagree 100% for the following reason. 1- Web User more and more become sophisticated. They want the info with pleasure/ entertained Both you and I agree they/consumers always demand more and more. (according in one internal study of a F100 in Houston, Tx that it has more surf activity (40%) more than any other competitor because their web sites are designed by artist "not purely developer").
2- Up to now there is no browser base, dynamic graphical development 'platform'. Some may argue Flash but" Hum hum. . . they all just the selection of 'predefined element". 3- There are two inter-changeable (propriety VML) and SVG. So no other public domain, browser base, dynamic graphical development 'platform' beside SVG. 4- The only discouraged fact is ADOBE put a dead end to its ASV. They may think with that move "without Flash you can do it . Period" You nerve know if there may be something is about to come out. Personally I think Flash or even if ADOBE goes back to ASV are not able to make IE+ASV or IE+Flash more better then other browser that support SVG negatively. By nature FLASH and ASV are ChildWindows/process they can not put themselves commingling with other graphical elements of the page as one among other. I challenge any one using one instanceof either ASV or FLASH to create a picture that both 100 & opaque and semi-transparent. Simply it not there. Hope this help. Phi.
