What are the performance advantages to using Macromedia Flash MX on the client side?
Because Macromedia Flash MX is capable of performing many application activities locally, fewer server transactions are necessary. Once a Macromedia Flash application has loaded, it can be dynamically updated to reflect a change in state or new data. It is not necessary, as with HTML, to load a new page in order to show the results of a server transaction. The download process itself can be optimized so that the user only downloads the parts of the application he or she needs immediately, while additional components of the application can be downloaded in the background.
