An example of too many dialogs preventing adoption is Shockwave. Even
with 60% of people having Shockwave installed, clients tend not to
want to use it because installing the plugin has opt-out add-ons, and
if you access content on another valid site for the same company,
Shockwave would show that security dialog. With the latest Shockwave
version you can now check the crossdomain.xml policy file, and so at
last can get around that issue for using content on another one of the
client's sites.
Flash security is extremely tough and limiting, and manages to do all
that without having to bother the user with permission dialogs. About
15 years of effort has gone into the thinking behind how Shockwave and
Flash security is handled, so there is a chance that some of what they
have done is a good way to work.
So, Rev stacks online for your relatives to see your work is fine, but
for real large client work it won't succeed if every user that uses
the piece has to cope with security and permissions dialogs, because
clients will tell you to use Flash instead.
