muligheder frem for flash?

Hvilke muligheder tilbyder shockwave som flash ikke har nu snakker vi kun netapps?

Jeg savner en punktvis opstilling, hvis du kan finde dette eller selv kan skrive nogle punkter. Du må gerne sætte tal ud for dine punkter, hvis andre vil kommentere dine udsagn.

Jeg har samlet lidt info men kunne godt bruge mere:

artikel 1.
Director is a much more robust technology, but Flash is more prevalent on the Web." However, the gap between the two is closing steadily because Flash 5 (the latest release) is following in the footsteps of Director. "The advantage to using Director is that it has a more robust programming language, the ability to add video and a whole suite of third-party plug ins that allow you to add 3D interactivity. Director is a much more complex environment and requires a commitment to learn. It's a less standardized technology," Pizer says.

"Flash is Macromedia's most widely used and significant drawing and animation tool to date. You can integrate some javascripts and even use PHP (a database tool) with Flash, and most Web designers and developers think it will result in dramatic changes in the way the Web is used," Galvin says. To see some cool examples of Flash, check out this site: http://www.randinteractive.com/. Another piece of the Flash world is called Generator, which is a server technology that allows integration with a database in order to serve up customized Web site content based on individual user needs.

Just when you thought you had it all figured out, along comes another technology to shake things up. This time, it's LiveMotion from Adobe, a streaming application development tool used to create Web graphics and interactive animation. Download a beta version here and see what you think: http://www.adobe.com/products/livemotion/main.html. LiveMotion is a competing authoring environment for the Flash standard. "It allows you to compile your timeline animations and interactivity in a Flash 4 format," explains Pizer. It is being billed as an easier-to-use animation environment for authoring Flash interactions, he adds.

Percent Plugged In

The same NPD survey that said the Flash plug-in was available in 96.4% of the browsers also reported the following numbers for other plug-ins: Java at 87%; Windows Media Player at 64%; Acrobat Reader at 62%; Shockwave Media Player at 58%; RealPlayer at 52%; and the QuickTime Player at 35%. The RealPlayer number is low in comparison to the Windows Media Player, indicating that RealNetworks may be finding itself in the same position that Netscape was in, struggling to compete with Microsoft.
