flash isnt going away. flash replaced javascript back in the 90s. more options better gui. hell flash player just released today i saw on wired for mobile devices. the whole argument on mobile devices was an opportunity mac thought they could exploit for purely video. they tried to make a big deal about it and in fact turned soem people to look for a html 5 video codec. but seems a lot of peopel arent down to pay the royalties to apple for there codec when there is free alternatives. it was a smart capitalistic albeit greedy opportunity to corner a market. with the free alternatives (vp3/ogg or whatever it is google has going) flash video may not be the best way anymore or simply not the best alternative or maybe it will eb fine with the new improved versions. for the rest of web content flash is still a very viable source. javascript is mro elimited then flash plain and simple. i dont know but can javascript fuck with alpha channels or have 3d imports? as3 is still a skillful tech to know, i wish i knew it.
