Coders still seem to have figured out how to write memory leaks in any new ad technology....

Surely this could only convert Flash ads that are solely timeline based animation and not programmatically based animations?

But the real question is....why can't we just have Flash back?? Should we let Apple continue to abuse their dictatorial powers over the world?? Sad, so sad.

- I['m no Apple fanboy, but the one thing I'm grateful to them for is lancing the plump boil on the internet that was Flashdetritus
- Yup. This. Flash sucksmarychain
- What has replaced Flash that is better?CyBrainX
- show me one single phone that runs flashmonospaced
- and then tell me only Apple is dictatingmonospaced
- and I do know it can be installed on Android, but that doesn't seem to change the fact that people call it deadmonospaced
- I'm not wholly sure what about Flash made it 'better' for the internet generally, being a proprietary closed file formatdetritus
- Don't get me wrong, Flash had its place - it's just that *everyone* started using it for *everything* = bad. Very bad.detritus
- it was just not, and is still not, ready for mobile devicesmonospaced
- A lot isn't ready for mobile. That's irrelevant. Flash still performs far more consistently. Years later and we are a decade behindformed
- Years later and we are a decade behindformed
- as for "bad" design, that's not my or Flash's fault, that's that most people suck at designformed

This won't stop people from making Flash ads. It will help people making Flash ads reach more people.

Big content sites still have flash banners on various sizes as their #1 advertising driver.
Idiots.
Banner advertising was always shit.

I am taking a break from my job building Flash ads, to let you know that HTML5 ads are not an improvement. What was 40k as flash is generally 150k + as html.
- < same for nice websites - what was once possible now costs a fortune and is less reliable.formed
- it has also become ten times more important and powerful you two! Of course it's getting more expensive. Online advertising is no niche anymoremekk
- not a nice anymoremekk
- yupfues
- No one ever made a valid argument that Flash should have been killed.CyBrainX
- because you fastidiously ignore the proprietary lock-in angle which is a massive negative to many people.detritus
- Flash could still be relevant if Adobe had made more of an effort to create an Open dev environment. They didn't.detritus
- Apple just took a hard business decision - Adobe are ultimately at fault for not keeping up. *shrug*detritus
