I think this goes 180 degrees in the wrong direction.
Based on what I've heard, the real reason anyone uses flash anymore is because of the authoring tools, not the runtime.
Instead of open-sourcing the flash player, build a development/authoring tool for HTML5 of equal or higher quality than the Adobe tools and open-source that...then watch this debate become irrelevant a year from now...
- loewenskind 16y agoExactly right, you should be higher on this page. :)
- cookiecaper 16y agoI agree that an equivalent IDE for HTML5 would be huge for HTML5. I don't think HTML5 has a chance of mainstream adoption until it gets one and I hope it does get one. I don't necessarily want Flash to win out, or think HTML5 should suffer, I'm just saying that the only way Adobe will keep Flash alive is open-source.
- jasongullickson 16y agoGotcha, and I agree, if the goal is to keep Flash alive, it's going to need to find some compelling way to remain competitive, and fast.
