Question

I am a Junior Web Programmer who is tasked with redesigning our website. Right now the website is made in ActionScript using the FLEX API(so its Flash based).

I am looking for advice on what technologies I can use to create interactive websites.

The website requirements I have been given are:
- must work & look the same on iOS browsers
- should include animation, element movement & show detailed graphics
- look exactly the same across browsers

What technologies are available to me to create a website with these features?

I know of so far:
- Flash based websites can achieve this (ActionScript)
- JQuery can create rich dialogs (not sure if it does graphic animation or has cross browser compatibility, does it?)
- Can I use .NET for this? Would that mean I write the website in ASP .NET? - Raphael.js - can rotate & animate images, is it cross browser?
- Any others that you know of? What other technologies are out there that I dont know of?

Explanation / Answer

All options you have(plus HTML5 canvas & CSS3) are almost capable of doing what you are tasked for,but...

IMHO, at first sight, the best technology suited for your need is Flash. You'll use only one language and IDE for doing everything, and the result will be the same everywhere.

But if you feel confident, you can archieve a good result using html related technologies, but you need to have a good experience with HTML tags, Css, Javascript and webstandards to create a full cross browser website.
