Although I love SVG, the current trend seems to be the use of the Canvas API, which has 
the advantage of being available out of the box in Opera and latest Safari as well.
And JS framework Dojo even allows to use an unified API on Internet Explorer as well 
(using the old VML there).

Do you mean that RealPlayer made its own Flash player, faster than Adobe one?

Well, Canvas too, to be complete (just another solution I throw in).
And to be even more complete, we cannot dismiss Java. Hey, something like Processing makes 
graphics in applets dead easy.
