    @utopian:

    Have to disagree with you. We're kicking off a marketing microsite/brand experience site project at work, and the decision was made to go Flash again for a few reasons:

    1) Dev time. From what we've been able to dig up, going the AS3 route – as opposed to HTML5/CSS3/JS – will mean we'll be able to turn this thing around on time;

    2) Demand. Looking at the stats for the whole life cycle of the last microsite we did, hits my non-Flash capable devices was in the low single digits. Not anywhere near close a number where I would recommend ditching Flash.

    3) Compatibility. As long as not all browsers on all platforms aren't fully supporting HTML5/CSS3 – or, at least _mostly_ supporting them – I'm not going anywhere near it. Flash is still the cross-platform/browser king.
