Flash or java for biology simulation?

[GregMason]

I want to program some simulations that involve a mostly static background, but potentially thousands of little animated graphics that move around on that background. Would flash be better than java for that?

Flash should be the option. Java is not suitable for such an interactive application. In Flash, you can use ActionScript to easily build the program with minimum programming knowledge, whereas with Java you will learn the language from the beginning.

Doing a flash presentation is easier and better =)
