Since Actionscript 3 runs on AVM2, which is a JITter, it should run Processing on Flash at comparable speeds to Processing on Java. After that, they should port Processing to .NET...! ;-) Considering that Processing was easily (well, Resig _is_ a genius…) ported to run on top of Javascript, and Actionscript _is_ a Javascript implementation, a great project would be to port Processing to run on top of Actionscript 3, probably reusing Resig’s code.

Processing may good for rapid prototyping but Flash can create lighter apps with better UI elements than anything that Processing can do.

But mastering is hard in all cases. Take a look at this (masterpiece?): http://teethgrinder.co.uk/open-flash-chart/ helped me a lot... One comment: If you are doing a good visualization the footprint does not really matter much. Unless its eye candy and nothing more, of course.

The main aim is to create artistic visualisations of ecological data from live sensors in a space (building), as well as a visualisation (like a ticker) for interactive polls within that space. You can view my mock up designs here http://qleyo.is-a-geek.com/visualising-space/view I have experience with AS and that was my initial plan to build this with AS but now I've come across processing, I'm debating if this would be better suited (especially with existing projects like wefeelfine and dumster). What are your opinions, I have 4 weeks to implement these visualisations :s I'm also unware if processing has components for User interaction (buttons, forms, checkboxes) which I will need to use? Thanks in advance. Hi Guys,

I'd love to see Processing API ported to Flash (the _only_ issue seems to be the relatively slow ability Flash has to process pixel data). Am I the only person who gets a feeling of dread when I notice a page is loading an applet? I agree completely.

I've taught courses in both Flash and Processing, and I've always preferred Processing. I should mention, on point number 3 in your article, about the lack of Swing in Processing, that the AWT, while not as powerful, can be integrated into Processing: http://www.repeatwhiletrue.com/SpringGUI/ Cheers, Dr.E Great article.
