"I am a web/software developer for The Dept Of Commerce National 
Weather Service. To serve the public we have to be totally 
accesible as the information (Watches and Warnings) are of life 
saving importance. We simply cannot tolerate Macromedia's 
[failure] to support all platforms (Heck I develop web pages on 
Linux running Apache and PHP) and so we have migrated away from 
Flash all together. I have had such bad luck with Flash anyway. 
It is so clunky and slow. We have gotten a lot of positive 
feedback when we switch to generating dynamic images using php 
and the GD graphics library. Check it out:
