While I agree I think that part of the reason is that requirements are so much more complex these days. No one had to make a Flash animation responsive to different phone sizes and orientations.
- doctorpangloss 3y agoMost video content today is 9:16 or 16:9 so… I’m not sure that matters.
- afavour 3y agoFlash was a whole lot more than just video content back in the day. I have fond memories of applying wmode=transparent and having my Flash seamlessly fit into the rest of my page.
- depereo 3y agoYeah. Absolute ton of web interfaces in tech, to manage servers or VMs or storage arrays relied on flash interfaces. The transition off that was painful.
- freeone3000 3y agoFlash animation was vector-based and inherently scaled to an incredible variety of resolutions.
- afavour 3y agoResolutions, yes. Proportions, no.
- vendiddy 3y agoI don't think the added complexity is even remotely justified. Let's face it: things that used to be easy have become unnecessarily complex. PS - This project looks very cool!
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoBut that's not an insurmountable challenge, and Adobe can (has?) add functionality to their tooling to support it.
