I don't think flash is going anywhere, people give Apple too much credit in it's ability to kill flash. As much as do not like Flash and developing with Flash Adobe provides a strong value for those that continue to use it. Android has help stave off Apple from running rough-shot over the mobile industry and therefore their is no eminent threat of Flash's demise. One of it's strongest points is the ability to develop in flash and export out to native application for several devices. Unity does this with their game engine and it has been very successful.
So the broader question is do you like Flash? If so, go for it; if not find something else. I am not a huge Flash fan and it would not bother me if it did die off, but I think it is foolish to predict it's demise at this time. It has strong competition from HTML 5 but still leads on the front of having the best creative tools available and Adobe behind it. As long as Adobe keeps it relevant it should have a long and healthy life.
