I need to have some kind of semi-interactive graphics on my site.

Now, in this day and age, logically the solution would be Flash.

The problem is I have no idea how to develop a flash module which means I have to hire someone to do it which will subsequently mean having to fill out a bunch of paperwork and funnelling all future modifications and upgrades through this developer (not to mention having to purchase flash just for this project).

Being an experience Java developer myself it wouldn't be too difficult for me to knock up an applet that does pretty much the same thing.

However, it seems to me that nobody actually uses applets anymore these days. Would it be a bad idea for me to go the applet path?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I wasn't sure where else to put it.
