    Flash lost most of it's appeal to me when they brought out ActionScript 3. It suddenly became a developers app, not the designers app they originally created and drew me to use it.

    That and with all the web technologies that are around now that were not when I started to use Flash. Most Flash sites I see could be done better with HTML, CSS and some JQuery / AJAX stuff.
    Saying that, there are some incredible Flash sites, but they are in the minority...and becoming somewhat inaccessible :)

    • i don't see a reason to get rid of it here. not that that's the point you were trying to make.SteveJobs
    • If you don't like Flash/AS3 because it's a developers platform, you can't defend JQery/AJAX, etc.CyBrain
    • yep, good point cybrain,
      most of thekill flash crowd, aren't dev, I would even dare to say they aren't even designers      georgesIII
    • agree, i'm a fan of the flash aesthetic - mostly IDE/ timeline.kingsteven
    • Adobe should introduce a free/ lite version of the IDE which publishes swfs with runtime processor limitationskingsteven
    • get flash content back on forums/ cash in on the millennial content creators.kingsteven
    • it's mostly nielson's fault.kingsteven
