okay, what's the current best web solution for vector animation besides Flash?

  Canvas. Or SVG. Those are the iPhone-friendly solutions. For IE compatibility, experiment with Raphael: http://raphaeljs.com/ http://raphaeljs.com/

    Are you suggesting artists or non-programmers to create animations not by using an authoring tool, but by typing numerous for's and setTimeout's ? Also is it possible to streaming the animations in SVG?

      I think that if canvas and SVG gain some momentum, then authoring tools will follow. The biggest trouble is getting the momentum though.

        I am thinking the opposite. If HTML5 can draw the attention of more non-programming crowd, like gamers, artists, stylists, etc. it might have a shot. Currently the HTML5 canvas is just, well, a plain canvas.

      Are you suggesting artists or non-programmers to create animations not by using an authoring tool, but by typing numerous for's and setTimeout's ? 1. Write new authoring tool that outputs numerous fors and setTimouts 2. ... 3. Profit!

        That's exactly what I'm thinking as I read this whole debate. Does such a tool exist, and if not, why not?
