I was just thinking aloud after I had a look at some demo code for animations.
Typicaly, what seems to happen, people download images one by one, and then
they animate them using some method.
Well, this seems to be a bit of a waste, why not come up with a package that
would have classes for inteligently compressing the images or sounds, downloading
just the library binary (with images and sounds), decompressing them on the
fly, and playing/animating the images for as long as they are in the context,
and after they are out of the context, they would get automaticaly deleted....
I think that a method where by only the DIFFs of images are stored, would
decrease the download times, thereby increasing the popularity of Java powered
HTML pages...
Regards, Alex.
