Also, for people arguing that Flash works when Javascript is disabled: there are much more Javascript-enabled browsers than Flash-enabled browsers.

I think a lot of people in this thread are confused between Java and Javascript.
You cant even compare those two plugins. It's like comparing a platform to a framework. Honestly, its REALLY sounds like you dont even understand what Flash is, what it does, how it works or how it corporate with the Web or media services

People use flash because you can be 100% sure it works in the browser, no matter what PC, browser, connection speed or security settings.

The scripts you linked to, tries to download and run a script on the local computer. Most people will have both browsersetting and security setting that prevent that from ever running

So you are left with a "Error loading script" error on a blank page
