Vision of Flash-based Web raises doubts
Macromedia is lobbying for designers and Web-application developers to create entire pages in Flash. One promised pay-off is easier-to-use transaction sites with content that, through Flash-enabled browsers, can be updated selectively rather than having to redraw the entire page every time new data is submitted. Another pay-off is video clips that don’t require a separate browser window. But critics say a Flash-everywhere approach carries hidden potential liabilities that could stifle innovation.
