....um...no. If Flash was MORE exact then it would BE more scalable.
For example my perfect liquid website prototypes:
http://www.backwater-productions.net/alt.2600/
http://www.backwater-productions.net/_test_platform/liquid/
(still need to add server side image caching to improve performance)
Go ahead and try resizing your browser, see what happens. My hybrid
PHP/Javascript code can accurately resize images and reposition them
with absolute precision...you can't do that with Flash...at least not
with split form images.
Why use split form images?
Well take my blog site:
http://www.backwater-productions.net/hatter-blog/
The main display is made up of nothing more than this:
http://www.backwater-productions.net/_images/all.png
And takes up only about 38 Kilobytes. If you wanted to use solid form
images, even if you relied heavily on vector objects with gradients in
Flash (which would take more time and effort to impliment and for most
complex objects wouldn't look as good) you STILL wouldn't be able to
reach that level of site compression.

So the Hare took a long stare and decided at best, to leave the rest,
to their merry little mess."

horrible it makes the angels scream in terror as they violently rip
their heads off, their blood spraying into the faces of a thousand
