I don’t think anything feature-wise is missing on the runtime side, but Flash’s keyframe/editor setup just let people make the most amazing things.

- gabereiser 6y agoStickdeath comes to mind. 2advanced studios work. All the amazing bitmap effects. Flash was really easy to create interactive scenes as your site. Each one different from another. Each one a masterpiece of art and layers and effects taken from gaming and VFX/Film. I miss that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad flash it dead, but I really miss the beautiful sites it enabled.
- coldtea 6y agoIsn't Adobe Animate the same thing, keyframes and everything, just with html output?
- HeckFeck 6y agoIt's probably harder to pirate now.
- patates 6y agoIt also supports Javascript now, and they seemed to have deprecated AS1 & 2 support. I've even seen some TS definitions on the internet.
- Arainach 6y agoAnimate is only available as part of a $236/yr subscription and can't be purchased. Flash was far more attainable.
- pjmlp 6y agoYeah, mostly piracy. So it doesn't matter.
- andai 6y agoI talked to several people who used to make Flash animations and games, and none of them had even heard of Animate -- they were under the impression that Flash was dead and there was nothing like it anymore. (Turns out it's literally the same thing with an uglier splash screen and includes the HTML5 plugin by default.)
