Perhaps, although Applet UIs tend to be larger downloads - and Java support is not actually as solid as Flash support in browsers. > download the entire dataset to the user and have a static application > with frames moving in and out....with changing params...? and the You need to experiment and tune the amount of data requested in each call to produce the most responsive system. As for frames, you still have the whole HTML content thing going on there, instead of just the data - with Flash, the layout and static text is downloaded just once and *only* the changing data is sent over the wire. With Flash, you don't need frames in the HTML sense although you may well build frame-like behavior into a Flash movie (modules loaded into a shell as needed). > screen is never refreshed? so how is client/session state managed? Are you asking how Flash manages session state? Multiple ways. You can manage state locally using Local Shared Objects - which you can also use for caching data - or you can rely on the underlying appserver session, e. g., ColdFusion MX, if you use Flash Remoting. > Interesting.. wonder how it scales to download datasets..cache them > and run them as client apps? I don't understand you - run *what* as client apps? I don't understand what that has to do with datasets.
