    Html5 with js/canvas just about approaches what Flash4 could do. Actually, it's far from there. Image rotation (ok, webkit has it), sound manipulation, editing and filtering, they were available in Flash 10 years ago and since then Flash evolved significantly.
    There is a lot of catching up all browser makers will have to do the same stuff Macromedia/Adobe went through in those years.
    Having new versions of Flash deployed to all browsers made the upgrades so fast... this will not be the case when every browser is developed independently, not in the world where most people use IE.
