Ajax/JQuery Slideshow versus Flash Slideshow

Hi again,

Sorry I missed out one more question.

I noticed many people start to use Ajax/JQuery to replace the flash slideshow. Can you share with me why Ajax slideshow is better than the slideshow created from Flash (SWF format)?

All this while, I've been using flash slideshow for my website. Just wanted to know if Ajax/JQuery will do any good to the site before I decide to discontinue using flash.

Cheers,

Ajax and jQuery is lighter, and more usable.

JavaScript is already integrated into all modern browsers, as opposed to flash player which is a 20-40 MB download which not all internet users have.

I would highly recommend using JavaScript.

I hope this helps.

In addition to what Leopard said, which was completely correct, using Javascript instead of Flash will show improvement with your SEO, as you will be able to work with this quickly, using simple attributes already exisiting in HTML, as opposed to editing entire .fla files or "movies."

Furthermore, it's hot, everyone is using it. Along with that, it's a great tool for a web designer, to defend against clients asking for crazy things in Flash.
