Personally, I still love Flash. I miss that I don't use it as often these days.
A few thoughts: 1. Correct me if I'm wrong, as it's not my industry, but isn't Flash still one of the popular tools to use for video animation? 2. I love AS3! I'd take AS3 and the Flash GUI over HTML5 any day. 3. We do a lot of ad work at my company ... HTML5 animation is a LOOOOONG way off. Even if we did do HTML5 anims, then the ad serving software and ad networks would have to be on board too; I'm not holding my breath on this one (have you seen the JS these people use? Hell, they can't even get away from using multi-nested document.writes which kills it if you're trying to do responsive loading of ads). 4. This is maybe tangentially related, but several months ago, Facebook decided to go native app vs. using CSS3/HTML5 technology (as an example of HTML5 getting mud in its eye). Don't get me wrong, I think HTML5 is pretty cool stuff (compared to its predecessor) but I think there's room to grow for both technologies. Then again, I'd hate to see Flash go the way of Director. Man, it's been years since I last coded in Lingo script! :D _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
