Walter,
Thanks for your clarification.
I spent some time looking for a ‘canvas’ program to try. Saw something by APC or the like for about $300. I also confused myself with several other readings and looking for a plugin that would allow the examples I found render in FireFox (browser of choice this week). I think this ‘concept (?)’ is safely out of my reach…
Man, this second guessing embedding media is pretty crazy - wonder if it will ever settle, at least for a short time.
On another note, got the Learning to Program book you recommended. So far just into the preface but a good read.
Thanks for all the 2011 help, education and edification, I to am one that looks forward to your posts.
Wishing you and all here a Happy New Year!

Canvas is the new HTML5 element that makes this possible. Canvas element - Wikipedia
Canvas can be used for lots of other things besides this drawing trick. It does quite a few 3D transformation that could previously only be done in Flash. Apple invented it in order to enable such things as the card flip effect used in Dashboard Widgets (which are written in HTML and JavaScript), and they submitted it to the standards bodies to be ratified as part of HTML5 so all browsers can use it.

Any particular meaning to the 'Canvas" in the heading - program?
