While I dislike Flash quite a bit, I fail to see what you could actually use to replace it: - Javascript with HTML 5 - Silverlight - Java applets
A full Javascript implementation is certainly possible with some of the new feature that are only in some browsers (read forget all browser except for cutting edge versions, and except IE). A silverlight implementation is certainly possible too, but the plugin is not widely spread among the different browsers and the different operating systems. You could of course code in Java and create a Java applet, but honestly I fail to see how it would be acceptable to many people. I might miss other possibilities but those are the main alternative to Flash and for many reason none are really a good alternative yet to Flash. If you have a good idea on how to crack the Flash problem, please let us know. Emilie Laffray
