Those who choose to take the “slights and disappointments” path, meanwhile, are very generously compensated for their trouble

Plenty of interesting things here! I had no idea that Flickr originally had a flash-based setup.

I kind like flash, when I visit some website full of javascript, always have some error show up. and I can’t access that site at all!!
And my browser will be very slow.
so , flash is much better.

Good point - why make your job any harder? I recently made a nice little calendar / date range chooser in Flash in about an hour - it would have taken forever in JS/HTML!

Very well said. It is a tool - both are tools - and they have their place with different pieces. Flash excels for video/audio presentations and are (in my opinion) the best tools to use for the job. However, there are other places where it might not be the best tool. It’s not that they are purely evil (AJAX/Flash) - it’s just that they have taken so much abuse.

“looking at it from a site-wide perspective”, so is it right. Make an interesting and handy site for your visitors. Different technics to different themes. We has it done here.

You make a great point with Flickr but I think that Flash will win this cage match for photos and videos online because of the ease of use and that to me is what makes things on the web excel. Like Wordpress for example the ease of use makes it a great blogging platform and adding widgets like Flickr are as easy as 1 2 3..

While I agree that it would be a bit daffed to build an extensive application trying to utilize Javascript/AJAX to communication with Flash, and vis-a-vis, I’m not sure that was the point which was trying to be made. “The right tool for the right job” means that you look at the scope of your over-arching project and determine what the business objectives are. If those objectives would be better suited for an all Flash application, then that might be the best route. If it’s AJAX, then so be it. Some, like the Google Financial app, are most suited to a hybrid version. So perhaps the mantra is actually inaccurate, and can be better stated in this way: “The right implementation to meet the business objectives”.

ExternalInterface for javascript/flash communication - is that the way to go? Or the Flash Javascript toolkit - at http://weblogs.macromedia.com/flashjavascript/ - Is the ExternalInterface supported on linux as well?

This may be a daft question, but why would anyones default text color be white ?

By: Timo Mikkolainen

Timo Mikkolainen — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 01:31:25 +0000

Your blog defines the bg color but not the text color. As my default text color is white, this results in white-on-white text. Please add ‘color: #000000;’ to the body-element in your css.
