And I don't think cost is the reason Flash failed as the dominant medium on the "regular" web. If all-Flash sites were a better payoff for businesses they would obviously pay the slightly higher cost upfront. It's because web standards are simply a much better solution in terms of usability, SEO, and other basic factors.
I don't think you'll ever see big sites like CNN or whatever built in Flash. The only company that really tried this was F-I and they failed spectacularly at it.
- flash has always been an animation based resource right? The stuff javascript sucked at without a GUIdeathboy
- actionscript is just evolved javascript with more options and interface.deathboy
- What I meant, agencies can sell sites cheaper to produce for the same money now.raf
- Not that they're cheating clients. Their time costs the same, their devs are cheaper than Flash devs used to be.raf
- Either way...I don't think that's the reason. Companies will ultimately demand the better option, agencies can't impose it on them.ukit
- I'm not saying they're imposing it, only enjoying the trend.raf
