Good for them. Flash has its uses but I feel like at some point in the last 2 or 3 years web developers for many sites realized that writing something in Flash offered better job security and more billable hours than using plain ole' web standards. The other day I went to a site that used Flash for a store locator page and after you filled out the form, in Flash, it simply went to a new HTML page with an embedded HTML map quest object. There was absolutely no reason for this to be in Flash.
- tomlin 17y agoDoubtful. jQuery, CSS, HTML, JS or Flash? Flash is quicker development time hands down.
- fungi 17y agothat's a broad brush, in many cases i would absolutely disagree. really depends on what you building and how well you are building it, particularly when you want flash to work with old plugin version and on mobile devices. and maintaining flash can be a royal pain in the ass, certainly can't just ssh in to the server and poke around with your images and code on a flash site. but yeah you can bang out some fancy stuff pretty fast in flash.
