Hi, I'm not trying to start a flame war here (if there is that level of debate going on, which I doubt).
I have Adobe CS3, which bundles with Flash, which I've never used before.
The application I envision requires some dynamic 2D rendering, preferably just drawn on the string real time in response to function calls from JavaScript. I'd rather not have to send the request back to the server to render into an image and fetch the image.
What is the best way to use the browser page like a 2D canvas and draw on it from JavaScript, if any. I'm guessing SVG, but I read somewhere that SVG's closest competitor is Flash, and I've never thought of Flash as being the kind of tool that would do what I want in regard to what I stated above.
