Predominately, you're missing the same thing I missed at first, which is that SO MUCH of Flash works on mouseover -- but how do you have a mouseover event on a touch-only interface?
- ThomPete 17y agoAgain that can be applied to everything that uses mouseover as part of it's interaction flow. Tooltips, Alt Tags, slideshows and so on.
- tjogin 17y agoTooltips aren't crucial to use a webpage the way mouseover and mousemove events are crucial to most flash games.
- ThomPete 17y agoWhat do you mean not crucial? Of course it is. Quite a few online services and applications use it to hide complexity. For instance I am currently working on redesign of a netbank which involves introducing visual overview of your spending. Flash is perfect for that.

- tjogin 17y agoWhat I mean is that most flash games require mouseover and mousemove events to be used — or else they're completely void of interactivity — no more useful than a static image. Most web apps, on the other hand, are fully useable without the user ever seeing any tooltip. That's what I mean by crucial. To be honest, I thought it was pretty clear already.
