It's not really a question of how strong the flash player is, but how strong 
a developer you are.


Plenty of people are doing amazing things with Flash/Flex. It's certainly up 
to your task.

Subject: [Flashcoders] How efficiently is the flash player



hi there.

for my bachelor in media design i want to develop an interface
for accessing massive data, more precisely stories people have
entered in a database.

My question is, how strong is the newest flash player? How many
symbols can be shown at the same time before the performance goes
down? When you have other limitations in mind, please note as well!

greetings,
dr.ache

This question isn't pointed for detailed answers as we're not sure  
what degraded performance means.  Its all relitive towards what kind  
of symbols and how much crap you through onto them with blend modes  
and alpha. There are some obvious overall limitations (layers, alpha)  
to the player itself overall, but applications, esp well designed  
ones, manage this gracefully through thoughtful optimization.  Good  
flash developers can tweak their code just so, in order to get the  
desired effect with minimal impact on the performance.  If you're  
looking for robustness in AS, you can get any better than Flex2+AS3  
right now.  It's execution is powerful, much more so than AS2.


I've got several sites that use AMFPHP to interact with a flash front  
end and we handle massive amounts of data.  If you're looking to  
transfer data from a database, its the way to go.

I can't really speak to the specific numbers of symbols, etc, but Flash
Player 9 (unlike previous versions) is capable of displaying as much data as
any other sort of web-driven interface, if not more. In my experience with
Flex, the limiting factors for Flash/Flex applications are no longer
specific to the player, but other (server-side) issues.
