As I started to learn Java, I came across a tutorial for making Java applets. As I read on, I found some similarities between Java applets and Flash movies. Right when I saw the source code for a checkerboard picture made in Java, I said to myself, Flash beats Java applets big time! It also took a while to load such a small applet when in Flash it instantly loaded. In my opinion, I think flash beats Java applets when it comes to convenience, appearance, load time, animation, and more (except AJAX). Here are two articles, first supporting java applets and the other flash movies: 1. http://www.winneronline.com/articles/septe...javavsflash.htm2. http://www.realchat.com/blog/java-vs-flash/What I found was that: 1. Java applet is bigger 2. Java applets takes longer to download 3. Java applets require more coding These recent times, I have barely seen any online games written in Java. Most of the times these online games have been using Flash technology instead. So what are your opinions on this?

Actually, from what I understand, java applets are used more for big games (i.e. runescape). It would be very hard to write runescape in flash as flash doesn't really have 3D capabilities. Flash I would suppose is used more for small games like wack-a-mole and stuff like that. stuf that a single developer can make. Flash is also used in website too; because, as you said, flash loads faster. I think flash and java have their strong and weak points, depending on what you plan to make depends on which language to use.

Flash has the ability to create 3 dimensional games. I've already played a handful of them. You can check out arcadepod.com to see the 3D games. I know shockwave has some. Runescape is more vector looking than flash. Flash can be realistic too.

Flash Problem
sometimes the buttons will load the wrong link. (9) Its weird but sometimes when you hit the forums or roster button on my flash banner it will load:
www.childrenofconan.trap17.com/index.html instead of what its suppost to. It works fine, but if you
mess around and click the buttons for a little bit you will notice this happening. This is a problem
because people visiting the site will sometimes click the button once and be like oh I guess the
link is broken and never come back, if anyone has a solution to what could be the problem it would
be awesome. This is one of my first custom flash banners and im just confused what....
Flash - Streaming Flv With Interactible Objects
Actionscript 3.0 - syncronising swf with flv (3) Hi Guys, I am trying to make a flash based web site. The idea is to have a flv video streaming
which has people moving around and the people need to be clickable objects. I tried tracing the
video by importing the flv to the flash time line and creating a button that follows a person in
each frame. I then remove the flv video from the timeline and stream it using actionscript. This
leads to synchronization issues. Does anyone know if this combination of swf and flv has ever been
implemented? If so could you please refer me to the source or post a link to an example, i....

Java Vs .net: Speed
(0) After researching on this topic on Google, I found no dependable page to which I come to a
conclusion. So I want to ask you guys the question: Which is faster, JVM or the .NET I already know
how slow it is to open up a Java program because of the JVM. I've used a .NET program (Visual
Studio Express) and it was quite faster to load than the Java program (NetBeans). Right now I'm
siding with Microsoft based on these two experiences, which I believe are naive to found my case on.
So to those who are familiar with either one of these frameworks, please state your ar....

Playing Flash Movies Without The One-click Activation: Simple Insertion Of Javascript

The bad thing is that if you have any flash objects at all within your web page you have to hit the
space bar or click on the flash object to activate it. Once you activate it, you then can interact
with the object or the object will then play on the website. I dont like how you have to activate
the flash player first to interact with it. here is the code to prevent that. Believe me people
notice how much better the site is after you do this. put <script type="text/java....

.swf. So I need someone who has access to a flash decompiler who can possibly help me out. After

relative paths/addresses, be changed to absolute paths, like change something.php to www.som....
