Diff bet static, dynamic & flash animated site

[parasite_xxv]

hello guys!
this is how i define a static, dynamic and a flash animated site... tell me if it's correct or not. or you could add something regarding this.

static site = could be a plain HTML site or could have a flash embeded but w/o backend integration.

dynamic site = a site using a backend applications such as ASP, PHP and Coldfusion

flash animated site = a flash animated site is also considered static but can be defined as dynamic when there is a backend integration with any kind of Server-side Scripts.

Is this correct?
Thanks :beam:

Pretty much, yeah

except flash animated sites are kinda flash animated.

doesn't static = still & dynamic = motion?

[m_andrews808]

nah dynamic simply means something that changes. So a site backended by a database is dynamic because the content of the site is defined by what's in the database

php and asp usage does not automaticaly make a site dynamic prasite. It could be php linking up with static data sources like xml or txt pages.

an animated site could be said to be dynamic, but when talking in web terms that is not what is meant by dynamic.

but isnt that still dynamic upuaut if you were using say php to write to text files, and then read and print them in flash? still has user input etc.

he means that the PHP is merely pulling data from static storage places. Like a text file that has to be re-uploaded if changed; it can't be changed thru the PHP script.

Editing and writing to a text file makes it dynamic, but just reading from a text file does not...

Vash: but isn't it still dynamic when you read or load a data from a text file??
