I used to flash kids and their moms at the local park. It was a phase.

"online creativity has been circumscribed by just one man with a ruthless marketing plan."
Shantanu Narayen has done more to kill Flash than Steve Jobs ever did. Remember all those wasted years when they could have been innovating when they just sat back pushing Flash as a video player.
Remember when they tried to force a square peg into a round hole by pushing it as a Web 2.0 app platform when that was flavour of the day.
Remember that 2 years they wasted pushing it as a mobile app platform.All this time their animation and multimedia tool sat neglected as their own developers all just use FDT/Eclipse these days.
I haven't a fucking clue why any of you designers are defending it when Adobe hasn't given a shit about you for about 10 years now, they just tried to push it into more lucrative markets than flashy UIs and animation. Anyone who has used a decent animation tool like After Effects or any 3D software can see the animation system in Flash is a complete joke and Adobe doesn't give a shit.

those are complete different tools.

^ They all have timelines, they all use keyframes, they all animate things.
I'm talking about UI not what they output.
Thought that was obvious, sorry.

I really like the discussion so far.
For any flash coders who would like to migrate (or extend would be better put) to Javascript, I would really recommend Grant Skinner's http://createjs.com/
It uses syntax almost similar to AS3, I've had some really nice results with it.

Anyone here still use Director for anything? http://www.lingoworkshop.com/Art…
- Wow...Director. That's a throwback. I remember using that.fyoucher1
- i used that in cawledgeteh
- Look at when Director got 3D acceleration... we're just getting that in Flash now. This level of lazyness on Adobes part is why Flash is starting to flounderanimatedgif
