To respond to your example - first is that you really dont need java to imbed streamable flash movies - and it would just open a door that we dont want opened - same reason we got rid of the counters that used java when they started adding stuff to D/L to the surfers computers in the java code - but like I said there are very easy ways to have flv's play without the use of java
Second - you are assuming that most surfers will have flash 6.0 or later already installed which is not a good assumption - and with the amount of blockers out there that will block installations on the fly - you will be setting off the Norton that most unknowing surfers use - the two problems there are that the LL then gets a mad surfer thinking we are trying to do something to their computer, and second you dont get all of the views that you want from your approach
Overall - Im all for innovation - however - think about the tons of surfers that dont have the knowledge to configure their computers - they account for a large amount of traffic
To also go along with some other posts - try to keep your traffic from free sites as simple as possible - you only have 6 seconds max to impress someone - and Im afraid graphics wont do that for someone on 56k which still accounts for over half the surfers
The reason LL owners try to point you to keeping things within their rules is that we are selling a specific product - if you think that your approach would be a better way to do things - or even the other guy that wanted to try a different graphical approach - those are worthwhile goals to explore - but you would also have to set up link lists for your own sites to try them out on and prove the concept
