the past days I've been seen many good flash websites out, with html version for tablets and mobile. I guess all of them had a good budget for that.
is the game changing, is this a new tendency or is neo finally getting out of the matrix?

there are still some things you can't do fast and right in html/js, but it's only a matter of time for this technologies to catch up with flash.
meanwhile if your client wants a highly sophisticated audio visual experience, flash is still a valid option.just don't use flash to fade some text or embed fonts nowadays.

I wonder if it is inevitable? I thought it was, like everyone else, but it has been years and we are quite a bit away from that (really, almost identical to where Flash was 13+ years ago).
It'll be interesting to see. Happy that some are still choosing Flash.

Until iOS supports flash*, it will never get its legs again...
*this will not happen.

^ exactly.
but it's nice to see agencies doing the best of it, when they obviously have budget to split between desktop and tablet/mobile versions of the same job.

I gave up on developing and design Flash based sites (circa 2009) and I will never create another one unless it is for a museum interactive or some sort of interactive kiosk.

First one could have been done in html, it's just a video player with hotspots
Second one broke after the voice over
Third isn't any more impressive than this http://demooo.com/IKEA/ikea_6s6s…
- The first and third require streaming video, which runs better/smaller fail rate in flash.instrmntl
- First one maybe, third isn't any more impressive than the Ikea pieceanimatedgif
- and how many more times do we have to say "oh but flash can do minor feature X" to pretend it still mattersanimatedgif
- HTML is constantly moving, Flash is pretty much stagnant since Stage3D failed.animatedgif
- Its the basis of the site. I'd say it matters.instrmntl
- I agree that flash is at a halt, and HTML5/JS/etc is quickly catching up.instrmntl
- I mean matters in the long term. You're talking as if HTML will never stream video.animatedgif
- flash was evolving quick, what mofos needed to do was learn how to optimize their damn filesmoldero
- i used to teach that crap at my last agency, seemed like it was anew concept for these guys, but back when flash started shit wasmoldero
- as important as knowing flash itselfmoldero
- not only for loading times, but for smooth running on cheap systemsmoldero
- maybe thats where adobe should have put their focus on, some kind of automatic optimization for newbzmoldero
- it's called Musemonospaced
- +1 on the optimisation comment, what the fuck is wrong with people. Seen so many retarded ways of doing things.animatedgif
- things that end up killing framerateanimatedgif

I won't get into the haters x lovers flash vs html, if you're still on that you're doing a shit work to your clients, my point and question was exactly why are agencies doing this. If you think something should NOT be done using tech X or tech Y, you're in the wrong job.

most of these good HTML5 sites dont even work right on IOS anyway, and if they do work, their stripped down versions, whats the fuckin point. the webs gotten boring since flash went away. theres no more "web experience" its just get your content and begone with you.
if you want to get immersed into an idea or a product a good flash micro-site does that beautifully and easily.just, fuck all those flash banners with audio, thats the flash killer right there, man i hated that crap.
- Thats so true.
immersive web experiences often went hand in hand with flash. but thats no more :(Hombre_Lobo - Weird, I was under the impression that iOS was at the forefront of HTML5 supportmonospaced
- Thats so true.

it's a flashback

i kinda felt this 2 weeks ago, i had the perception that flash is coming back.

It's true, nothing choreographs like Flash does - yet -
If you could deploy Flash to iOS, you could by-pass the Apple Store - so that may never change -
I think Flash over did it with AS3+. The stage was great - then Flash wanted to be the big solution for big dynamic web sites and made actionscript more complicated to achieve that - and adoption failed.
Even if browsers and HTML5/CSS3/Javascript come along very well and very rapidly we will still wait freaking forever for people to dump IE8, 9 etc -
or am I the pessimist?
- No, AS3 was mind blowingly complicated for designers. Developers loved it however.CyBrainX
