Everyone move to Hollywood! ;^) Does anyone on this list have a decent stock response we could all use? I don't.
Let's be realistic. Coming up with rationale for using Flash as development platform is tougher than it used to be by far... I guess gaming is safe to decent extent... Does anyone here not think Adobe has gotten fat or at least overweight and lazy? They just had to know they weren't in great position to get plug-in for iPhone... so why as of yet have they not come out with a blow-the-doors-down release for all other platforms? Where's the 'strategy'? I guess they're too busy worrying about how to suck some more cash out of next version of photoshop... I really can't tell. As someone who likes Flash I'm stranded because it doesn't quite 'fit' the times anymore. To make things worse the heat from non-flash folks is white-hot. So much so that even perfect flash execution will take a beat-down for various reasons. Adobe's response to Jobs was weak at best - certainly doesn't come across as confident they will win 'the market'. I'd give them a (generous) grade of "C"... I wonder if Macromedia would've been in front of this years ago! If you were the Flash Product Manager what would you do now? You can't just stand there taking punches right? -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Carl Welch Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 12:44 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] and now..CLIENT now hates Flash This scenario is exactly what I was worried would start happening.
