I don't.

It shouldn't, but both your questions seem quite unrelated.
- nlabs 17y agohuh? flash provides video and vector graphics in a browser. If html5 can do these then flash is doomed, hence related.
- sid0 17y agoI'd contend that the reason HTML5 actually paid attention to video and vector graphics was that Flash made them popular. I don't want Flash (or equivalent) to die because I want to see even more innovation from them, all of which eventually makes its way to standards.
