Hello Keith,

Well, I've written this email because I figured you hadn't already spent 
so much time with flash that you could conceivably switch technologies, 
but going through your slides I can see now that you've spent a lot of 
time and effort on flash. Here is a list of flash alternatives for 
posterity, and others who might be interested:

=====
SVG - An interesting alternative, but people have to install a plugin on 
IE - and it's not quite as fast as flash in my experience.

Moonlight - Open source Silverlight implementation? Kinda scary to do 
anything in though, Microsoft has created silverlight.. Having said 
that, silverlight is supposed to be a competitor to flash.

jQuery - Javascript with a lot of really advanced animations - also has 
the benefit of being included in _EVERY_ browser ever made. (Ok I'm 
exaggerating here but ecmascript/JS is pretty common amongst browsers)
http://jquery.com/
(also see: http://docs.jquery.com/Effects)
jQuery would take a bit of work to make it reproduce 3D images like what 
you've got but it can be done.
