Abstract: Animations of introductory physics material are now widely available on the World Wide Web. They are available in two forms: those that need a resident application to run them and those that are Java-based. Although the latter offer advantages over the former (superior graphics, no proprietory software etc.) they suffer from the drawback that they cannot be easily modified. This restriction may not be important to many educators but it can affect those who are trying to tailor their efforts to a specific audience. If this is the case, the disadvantage of Java-based simulations may be so important as to render them of minimal use.
