Mostly wrong deathboy, what do mean you can't do simple animation in JS? Yes, Flash is the better solution for banner ads and will be for some time but that's because of the unique nature of banners needing to be embedded and so on.
For simple animation JS is clearly the better choice these days.
- i mean i personally cant script it on notepaddeathboy
- a gui is beautiful. and i think adobe will help support a javascript gui or advanced AS export thingydeathboy
- i think the reasons why flash out did js back in the day still stands to day. the only downside so far is mobile supportdeathboy
- support. thats the only reasonable reason. but that will change soon lookign at the kind of power mobile will have in a year, and flash evolutiondeathboy
- in a year and where flash will bedeathboy
- Wait you can create a flash banner with runtime blurs and all that jazz faster in javascript then flash?deathboy
- and if jpegs and such are all "embedded" for banner adds why not just the js... i must be missing somethingdeathboy

JavaScript and dhtml was proclaimed dead when standards nazis came into power around 2002-2004 and made every site look like a blog. Suddenly every website had to work without JS.
Then it re-emerged as AJAX and is stronger than ever.It could be similar with Flash. New Adobe demos suggest you will be able to dual-export in Flash for old browsers and html5 for new ones.

Its on life support, not very stable. If it comes out it will be braindead only capable of simple functions.I recommend pulling the plug.....I'm sorry for your loss.

How can you guys one minute say you don't know what HTML5 is, and then the next be absolutely sure it will never take off?
Anyone see the problem here?:)

It's amazing, you assume everyone's gone and then start a thread on Flash's potential demise and suddenly 12 responses in 2 minutes.
