    My main problem with Flash is that Adobe doesn't understand its own products.

    They spent years trying to shoehorn Flash into being a web 2.0 app development platform, when recreating complex OS controls like scrollbars and combo boxes becomes really clunky and alien when recreated in Flash.

    What they should have been spending that time on is hardware acceleration and other game related features, because games are something Flash does really well... especially if you bypass the regular stage and build them with Flixel.

    Of course in true Adobe fashion they only started working on Stage3D when WebGL started popping up in the wild. When Director actually did hardware accelerated 3D around 10 years ago. That company is a fucking joke and seems obsessed with outsourcing and trying to become an enterprise service provider not a creative tools provider.

    • yes... interesting notes about stage3D, thanksvaxorcist
    • WebGL is dead and shit. Let's be honest here. Stage3D is light years ahead.monolith
    • Technology barely out of the labs "Dead and shit" haha what's wrong with you?animatedgif
