Thanks John, Lane & Tom,


<sigh>

Ok, I guess I'll be waiting for that then.


First, the "java loading" delay bugs me - several seconds,

and second it gives the client the impression that the flash page was done

in Java, stealing the credit from Flash.

I actually had someone write & ask me how hard it was to write that

animation in Java!


This is not to discredit the great & essential work done by MM people like

Slavik Lozben on the Java Player.  The rendering and playback on the new

mac version is *a lot* better than it used to be; I have no problems with

it except that it's still a full-third+  slower than the plug-n, but it

seems to be getting better all the time.  If it ever gets to be as fast as

the plug-n on the mac, it will really change things.  Perhaps some day

we'll see an "Export as Applet" item in the Flash file menu?  Wouldn't a

native applet be faster than a player applet interpteting a swf file?
