Is there a Way for Applet animations work as fast and Clear as Flash designs.

JAVA was once a very modern language but I feel it is loosing it's
importance because of Microsoft Monopoly. Why do Microsoft not give
enough support for Java.

We see Flash works better than Applets and faster, While even little
Applet takes lot of time to download. Why Browsers do not support
Applet as par as Flash.

Any animation in Flash looks 10 times better than done in Java. Why
are OS not making Java applets work as fast and clear as Flash
animations? I do not think it is technically infeasible.

I feel it is due to Microsoft's strategy to weaken Java use. As Java
is much better than "C++" and quite simpler than learning C. You are
get rid of Pointers, Linked lists etc. Which I do not understand what
is use of them other than to crash your system. Java is much safe to
use.

Perhaps that is more of a judgement of the programmer of the Java
animations you have seen, rather than the Flash animations.

It is up to the JVM writer (Sun, etc) to make Java as fast and
efficient as possible on a particular target OS -- it isn't up to the
OS programmer.

Have you tried Java animation applets on Linux? Are they still worse
than Flash? Blame MS where it is due, but MS is no more/less "in bed"
with Adobe (Flash) than it is with Sun.

here is a feature for fast animation called VolatileImage

see

the idea is you put predigested images inside the hardware regen
buffer of the video card, then shuffle them around with the video
graphics processor.

The coding is tricky, but the results are speedy since they use the
specialised gaming processor.

It was Very difficult to understand.

I have a spirit which moves from point a (x1,y1) to b (x2,y2) . I use
duble buffering. How will I use virtual Image technique.
