Errr... I don't think I said it wouldn't, it was just a response to AJAX being presented as a much better solution to Flash. When it comes down to it, they both pretty much do the same thing, allow manipulation of the interface whilst waiting for a server response. My main point if you look back is that Flash allows professional designers to do their thing, which is create great interfaces. I won't say any more either, but then again I didn't call Flash bloated and wasteful, I just asked a question as why it is sneered at when it does a damn fine job. I have no allegience to any technology, I just don't dismiss any either. -- CardinalFang You're only young once, but you can be immature forever... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25321 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
