[Javascript] flash v dhtml

As far as I'm concerned, when using dial up connections I always skip Fla=
sh pages. They are usually very heavy 100 kb <...
Comparing to DHTML I personally think that they are almost equal, except =
some vector graphic font manipulations, nice alpha filtering, but both ar=
e two dimensional. !you can use vectors in DHTML also.
I prefer DirectX more than both, but still don't know much about it.
Same problem, user has to download the Flash engines before he can previe=
w the content if he haven't done it before. DirecX comes with windows ope=
rating system, it is also incorporated in the browser, so it gives you le=
ss trouble.

Here, for instance: try the power of the DirectX (less than 1.3 kb of cod=
e, and yet 3D manipulation), absolutely different experience.

<HTML>
<body bgcolor=3Dnavy>
<script language=3D"Jscript" for=3D"Seq" event=3D"oninit">
    Seq.item("ActionSet1").At(0.000, "RotateAll()",730, .0050);
    Seq.item("ActionSet1").Play();
</script>
<script language=3D"JScript">
function RotateAll() {
 sgMSDHTML.Rotate(1.2, -1.2, -1.2);
 sgMSDHTML.scale(1.005,1.005,1.005);
}
</script>

Hi,
   What do people think about using flash instead of dhtml? What are the
cons and pros of using both? I don't know how to use flash and I was
wondering what sort of things are capable with it? One thing that would b=
e
attractive I guess is that you do not have to worry about cross-browser
issues.
