Flash sucks

No this is not I hate Flash thread. This is about how poorly coded Flash is, as an application. I'm just simply can't believe that we are at the 9th version of Flash and that they STILL haven't fixed bugs from version 6 or 7. I means seriously.
You see, this is what happens when you have market monopoly. You just don't give a crap. They've slightly improved Flash through AS 2.0 and 3.0 over the time and better video encoding and some player performance, but overall Flash is just simply a disaster. During my daily work, Flash crashes at LEAST 3-4 times. This is SIMPLY inexcusible, not to mention completely idiotic bugs that make you waste hours debugging to finally find that it's the player problem. UGHH!
I am glad that Silverlight is coming out. We need this shit to stop and some competition to happen in order for them to start improving stuff. Seriously.
P.S. I'm on a project deadline right now, flash crashed for like a 10th time today and I just had to vent. Carry on.

what are you doing when flash crashes? is it consistant? PC or Mac?
Only time flash has crashed for me is poorly constructed AS, and one project last year that had some crazy problem, that macromedia couldn't figure out either, all they said was... maybe if you upgrade it will solve the problem.

flash has never, ever crashed on me, -ever-... and i can guarantee you i'm doing much more intensive actionscript programming than you are.
either you're on a fucking shit-ass Mac, or you just don't deserve to use flash.

I suggest writing longer rants when you're on a deadline..

I've also noticed that if I leave it open overnight, my machine is unresponsive the next morning. (PC)

boz is right. flash is buggy as hell. the flash player itself is a pos.

you just don't deserve to use flash.

Doesn't crash too often for me. Every once in a while a runaway error with lock it up though.

I've had flash corrupt files when I use heavy graphics.

I cant preview a movie here, I have to publish then view in a browser. I am using MX 2004, maybe it will be better in CS3. I blame windows, it hates good apps :)

I used to have problems with it crashing before, but CS3 is a dream. I really don't get your rant about a monopoly blah blah blah - if anything when it was a dualopoly flash was shittier than it is now. Adobe did some really amazing things with it...if you want to talk about crashing, lets chat about importing ai files before Flash 9...the old - Import To Stage / Cross your heart and Kick the Dog Please Don't Crash!!
Crashing while under deadline does suck ass though. Not fun.
