i think you still have to look at the reasons why flash trumped javascript back in the day. then take those reasons and apply them to today. i think mobile market with lack of flash support is the only thing that can drive the use of more javascript stuff. And i think that will only be short lived with technological improvements on the mobile markets, and the willingness of powerful companies strong arming people into licensing there closed codecs and support. And still take into consideration the evolution of AS and see it will need to offer plugin free stuff. I still see noreason to declare flash dead especially since its a far broader scripting language and does more than JS. Yes js will have its place as much as it always has... no, more place with the mobile drive. but i cant see it surpassing the usage or ability AS has. Especially with the AS to JS stuff being worked on. I can only seeing js being combined in a single gui (probably called flash++) with as3 and different export options. Much like dreamweaver does more then html. Can people in advertising not fall for advertising.
