    Adobe can totally be able to export to HTML5. You can target to older versions of Flash Player and if you try using a newer feature in the ide, it'll give you a warning dialog. There's no reason why they can't limit the functionality in the same way if they create a JS-based Flash runtime.

    The idea that HTML5 doesn't have the same features is a canard. What's important is that HTML5 has all the capabilities that most Flash sites do, and does it in a way that integrates the content into the page better than a plug-in can. I think Flash devs need to stop thinking of the canvas tag like it's the only thing HTML5 can offer in comparison to Flash and remember HTML 4/Ajax can already do a hell of a lot that Flash has been used to do for a long time now.

    • um, canard isn't the right word. I meant, it's besides the point.kpl

    • you're missing the point a bit. it's open vs proprietary software, flash will always have more features than HTML5kingsteven
