Flash is not dead. It's the ONLY plugin left that works in all desktop browsers, and works on Mobile phone. Facebook supports it, more and more who have started in HTML5 have lived to regret the day. For many years I was a C++ snob who totally dismissed Flash, but now I really enjoy actionscript
I am working with a client who is write a phone app in Flash because of the low level cross platform abilities and it is awesome! It also lets me build web based admin tools for the backend really quickly. Only negative thing I can say about it is the garbage collection is slow...
- mikeash 11y agoFlash doesn't work in most installations of desktop Safari, nor does it work on iPhones. Many others are fleeing it because of massive ongoing security problems with it. If you're content with the audience that remains then great, but it's far from "all."
