Flash is a good deal faster than Java, doesn't have the client-side
security nightmare involved, it doesn't take a team of 50 to develop a
small app, the binary is an open standard (with plenty of open source
tools available), there's an open-source alternative player available,
and there's an extremely fast open-source compiler available (called
MTASC), which is better than the original. Don't diss it.
