Silverlight is much, much more than just Flash. If the goal is a web-based
animation, Silverlight should fill the bill but it can also be used to
create a lot more. Silverlight 2.0 won't be available until March so keep
that in mind. 2.0 is where the action is, BTW.

For the computer/web medium, I've dinked around with Adobe Flash a fair
bit. It not only allows you to animate, but with some programming, that
animation can also be interactive.
Apparently, Microsoft's answer to Flash is called Silverlight. I
haven't played with that yet.
Cheers,
Ken

Dear SAS-L-ers,
Since this is a slow posting day, and kind of like a Friday, I thought
that I would throw this one out at the collective experience and
knowledge of the 'L. It is off topic, so please delete this message if
you do not want to waste your time on non-SAS-related tripe.
Offline, a civilian (a person who does not do any SAS programming) asked
me if I knew of any off-the-shelf computer software that can be used to
create animations--as in cartoons.
Though my own life is often akin to a cartoon, I do not have any ideas
in that department. However, this civilian is a friend, and I would
like to help him out. So, if you are aware of an animation/cartooning
software package, I would sure like to hear about it.
Best of luck to all of you in your SAS endeavors!
I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
