As to the "bucks," dilemma, there has been a sconce of relief in that
direction: http://www.openlaszlo.org/

These animations do not appear any faster downloading for the poor
visitor than any other flash animation, however. For a plain slide show
with pauses, I still prefer javascript backed up by a<noscript>
alternative, if I cannot avoid a slide show altogether (thumbnails are
better, usually). Flash is better saved for kids games and scientific
illustrations of quantum mechanics and such.
