I don't think we'll ever see it go away, just evolve.
We'll see it used more and more for mobile devices...and again...banner ads. I know iPhone and ITampon don't support it -- yet -- but they'll be a normal workaround/compromise sometime (there is a way to run Flash on an iPhone already). There's just too much content in Flash already for companies to redo everything in another format. Plus, everyone and their mom's mom already has this plugin.
JQuery can't do 'real' animation either (more than just slides and fades, like character animation and shit like that) and video takes too long to create and creates large file sizes which is prohibitive in mobile devices.
You can create an animation in Flash much faster than you can in After Effects too. Production is much faster. Making video's for ads or anything that's animated is just going to be too costly and too time consuming. You know how agencies always need shit yesterday.
Flash will get back to its roots soon, what is was originally meant for.
- I'm not understanding the Flash vs. AE comparison. Please provide linx/info.dMullins
- Speaking of animation production time...fyoucher1
- yes... flash's animation roots are good... the re-invention of the browser through AS3 code-o-rama isn'tvaxorcist
- also scaling up vector based animations has its uses...SlashPeckham
