Oh thank god! I was wondering what I should do with all these iomega zip discs full of flash files. Anybody here have a parallel port to USB wire I can borrow?

Nice I'm going to investigate this tonight, I'm really hopeful this is going to be good, I used to love flash it was such an easy tool for me to use. Hopefully this gives me the same functionality but with the graphic interface I am used to using :D cause I can't code for shit.

I tried it and it really works well. It uses Grant Skinner's Create JS library for the code, and it's really useful if you really want to do those complex timeline animations.

Adobe should kill the name Flash, and merge the new flash with edge into a new product.
- would make sense, but then how would clients know what to ask for ? ;)monospaced
- .. and how would we know which clients to stop taking seriously?

What's never gone are the constant vulnerabilities of the god damned plugin, this is from yesterday:
Security updates available for Adobe Flash Player
Release date: February 4, 2014
Vulnerability identifier: APSB14-04
CVE number: CVE-2014-0497
Platform: All PlatformsSummary
Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.43 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh and Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.335 and earlier versions for Linux. These updates address a critical vulnerability that could potentially allow an attacker to remotely take control of the affected system.- If it's HTML5 would it not be completely away from any plug in no?

Jesus. Just bring Flash back and let's get back to an interesting web and start making progress again!!
:-)
- it was never gone, dudemonospaced
- seriously? It was killed the moment Jobs declared it soformed
- Totally agree formed, but you're wasting your breath on mono.Hombre_Lobo
- When Steve said he wouldn't support it ONE phone, it was NOT dead. Adobe killed mobile a long time after.monospaced
- I can't lose this argument.monospaced
- you lost this argument long ago mono...
Mobile Market share killed a web format. It's simple.Hombre_Lobo - That's an interesting point. I was not aware the iPhone launched with any share, or that it had the majority at any point.monospaced
- also, Flash is still an application. It's always been alive and well. You're saying that everything is mobile, and it's not.monospaced

man Im really bored of those flash video experience sites.

@fues
You're totally right about adobe should move away from the flash name. It's been given a bad rep by the short sighted. They'd do well to move it into edge or something.Html5 creation in flash looked ace! a good direction for flash to head in. Funnily enough html5 isn't all that supported, old versions of IE won't run it (as I'm sure you know). But surprise surprise IE 8 could run flash no problem. Thanks for sharing dude

So sick of the "flash will make the web cool again" line. The web changed because companies realized that a web site needs to do something other than be a large animated banner. Of all those amazing interface explorations done in flash (3d tree structures, scrolling timelines, bouncing page elements) how many are in use at all any more? Flash filled a niche until the rest of the web technologies caught up. It didn't do anything more spectacular for the web than CSS or HTML.
- The web changed because Flash could not be seen on iPhones. Design is design, not Flashformed
- the web was changing long before jobs decided flash wasn't going to be on the iphonehereswhatidid

They should rename Flash to "Advanced Banner Creations"

hwd - you are talking about Flash from 13+ years ago. The last Flash sites I saw were functional and fast. I don't know what era you are referring to, but certainly not the last 8-10 years.
- Maybe in 5 years, HTML will have the functionality of Flash..MAYBEformed
- What part does HTML not support currently?hereswhatidid
- Support? How about just not working as wellformed
- in what ways?hereswhatidid
- the only people complaining about flash being gone are flash developers/designershereswhatidid
- Flash is horrible for large, text-based sites.ukit2
- Let's no pretend it's a viable replacement for HTML, if it had been that would have actually happenedukit2
- It's not, the web was nice with optionsformed
- who said flash is gonna replace html? like formed said, its about options.Hombre_Lobo

I know! Let's rebrand Flash HTML6! It'll still be years ahead and actually deliver on what is promised! God that's brilliant.
Adobe??

The truth is the web didn't really change that much. People were already moving away from Flash before the iPad came out and Jobs made his statement. It wasn't Apple imposing their worldview on the industry so much as they just accelerated an existing trend.
If anything, the hate should be directed at Adobe for mishandling Flash. Remember that they tried to market it as a solution for data driven web applications, but no one was interested. The most interesting thing happening in Flash was Papervision, which wasn't even created by Adobe but by independent developers.
- exactly, Adobe had years to get Flash working on mobile, but they failed to get their shit togethermonospaced
