As do I, and I'm almost never not using a big fat pipe :) But, this is again another misuse of Flash, IMO. Geez, I'm starting to sound like a Flash apologist! But really though, think of the Flash-based product pages you can find on many sites, like cell phone carriers where you can kind of play with a virtual phone. *That* is, to me, a proper usage of Flash, and one that would be difficult, if possible at all, to do without something like Flash. These are the types of things where the download time is probably tolerable. > Its a bandwidth issue..*any* technology which > attenuates > the content to minimum bandwidth of the underlying > transport will succeed (viz a viz Ajax..) > Just my 2 cents, No doubt, I agree completely there. Interestingly, frames is one of those technologies that does exactly that, and yet I see a great deal of resistance to frames. I've always found that a bit curious.
