Flash.
No, really. JavaScript hasn't quite caught up to what was possible ten years ago.
I'm tire of waiting for browsers to agree on video formats and protocols.
Sometimes a benevolent dictator really is better.
- rogual 10y agoSeconded. Flash's vector engine was also superior to the Canvas 2D API. You can export to HTML/JS from Flash these days but you get artifacts and gaps at the edges because Canvas simply doesn't support things like shapes sharing an edge. Flash was "killed" before there was a viable replacement and Flash devs are still feeling the pain.
- IlPeach 10y agoFrom an animation perspective, totally agree. But there were too many downsides with it when it combined coding and it was a constant battle, so overall I'm actually very much OK since I've stopped developing with it since 2007. It's just another reason with I don't like Adobe and I'll do my best to avoid paying for their products.
