What are the benifits (if any) in using Ajax instead of Flash for content withn a large HTML based site? Is it easier to update images and text?
Might be a stupid question but the development team have suggested it.
I don't see the benefit myself as you can pretty much do any kind of admin/updates with flash these days anyway...
Especially as we have a shit hot flash developer and nobody in the team knows Ajax...
I suppose its not really a question more of a "venting of frustration"...
Thank fuk its friday!!!

flash.
no real cross browser issues.
easy as anything else to update content.

i do alot of both now a days
i use flash for things that are pretty difficult to do in html+css+js or that need consistency that i cannot get
an example:
on a new site, i have a way for them to feature past projects they have worked on, which on the front end is a flash movie that reads in the data it needs from a db backend i wrote
on the same site, i have an order tracking thing that fires an ajax call on submit that fetches the order status (actually returns a div with all the html content) and places it in the page without refresh
i did the featured content in flash so i can advanced animation, etc
i did the order tracking in html so i can have a backup html page that looks similar and so the text is easily selectable, etc

Both.
Doing one purely to exclude the other is stupidity.
