Generally, Flash can do anything that an Applet can do. In addition,
the Flash plugin is installed on a lot more computers than Java is. If
you link Flash to a programming language, like Java, through Flash
Remoting, than updating will be no problem as Flash will take all the
info that it needs from a database.

What language is the original app programmed in? If it is Java, the
nice thing about Flash Remoting is that you may be able to reuse a lot
of the backend components instead of having to rewrite everything from
scratch.
