The only reason I touch Flash at all these days is because the ad networks I have to deal with require it. And it has to be AS2 in Player 9. Flash Player 10.2 is usually listed as OK, but Flash dropped publishing to that version with the lowest being 10.3 so you have to stick with 9. And apparently AS3 ad implementations are too complex for them to figure out how to track, so it's unlikely that AS3 will ever be a thing with the greater Flash-based ad networks.
So... the above specs requires using Flash Professional CS6, which isn't going to run well forever given it's been five or more years since it was new. Whenever I ask one of our ad network reps about what they think about this they have no idea what I'm talking about (they also don't seem to understand why pop-under ads are annoying). It seems that stagnation will either force them to switch or it will all just fade away.
