There is no way AJAX will ever come close to what Flash can do. The only thing new by Google's asychronous XMLRequest object is the ability for the sim. requests; other than that, unless I'm missing something, these are just JavaScript tricks that have been in use for years.
I'm not saying it's not valuable in some situations, but it's not even in the same universe for production applications. Just a fad of the sort like DHTML transitions supported in a limited fashion by some browsers. Just try to use any of the examples in the latest Opera for example. If I'm missing something here, someone just say so. -r --- Rob Dickey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Just curious if you have taken a look at > http://www.osflash.org ? > > Don't know about whitepapers, abstracts, but its a > great source for ECMA > related items including javascript, actionscript, > etc., and perhaps there > are links from there to something that would suit > your needs... > > HTH > Rob > > ________________________________________ > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of JesterXL > Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 6:21 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] AJAX vs Flex whitepaper?? > anyone?? > > Don't know of one, but if you find one, please let > us ( and me know > offlist), thanks!
