I'm glad to see this. I for one am looking forward to the day when javascript is at the point where it offers a level of programing ease for animations, etc, that you get with flash. (It may have happened already, last time I did lingo programming it was called lingo, and I am not conversant with the state of the art in javascript.)
Or it seems that CSS is supporting animations and maybe that is a better choice over javascript? (because the browser, I presume, can optimize CSS a lot easier than javascript which can have arbitrary functionality.)
- cookiecaper 16y agoFlash is here to stay until someone creates a designer-oriented HTML5/JS/SVG IDE analogous to Adobe's designer-oriented Flash/AS IDE. Even after that point, it'll be a while before we see Flash head out the door. There's a lot that HTML5 doesn't address yet.

- Raphael_Amiard 16y agoI think it would be a dream for adobe, to be able to discharge themselves of maintaining their player on multiple architectures on browser makers.
- cookiecaper 16y agoAgreed. Adobe doesn't make much money off of the Flash Player, just the Flash IDE, so they'd be thrilled if they could offload Flash Player's functionality and the horrible reputation it gives them and just focus on creating a good IDE.
