Comment Flash on da web... (Score 1) 76
I've composed interfaces using flash since it was FutureSplash. I agree that much of the flash sites out there are (A) crap, (B) too complicated or (C) just not worth doing in flash.
However the biggest thing that I liked about this latest release was the XML socket object in actionscript. This opens things up for useful apps even though there's no security unless you use HTTPS.
Also another angle what flash is good for it wireless devices. Flash has always had a good small file size for mostly-vector-based movies and now it has this sockets capability and there are plugins out there for the PocketPC.
I think it could really turn out some cool stuff in that arena.
