> JS implementations have gotten hundreds of times faster in the last three years, while Flash has gotten slower. I don't know about that. Flash may be proprietary, poor coding community, etc, but to suggest it is creeping down to JS performance is pretty outlandish. Flash has two communities. One: Designers trying to do timeline animation with a mix of code snippets they've found. Two: Decent coders who implement the safest, best methods. When Flash performance is subject, it tends to be Flash's poor design that gets the bad rap even though it tends to be the poor developer community at fault. In the same way, JS-based interactive content can also be coded poorly and perform poorly as a result. Honestly, I've seen some pretty intense, balls-to-the-wall sites that I know would absolutely work at a crawl or snail's pace in JS, but work elegantly in Flash. A full open-source file format would be a great move for Adobe.
