Actually flash isnt going away, maybe from a web developer’s perspective but it will not go away, because u can create games and other neat 2d/3d animations on flash, CSS3 and HTML5 cant do it. Flash is useful for other application other than for website use. Flash is good for interactive presentations.. i mean Adobe Director and shockwave player still around. duh.

In reply to piccoloprincipeazzurro. @piccoloprincipeazzurro Minimizing the number of necessary HTTP requests to load a page is normally a good thing. We're not arguing with that.

Then you should tell us why there are so many tools for concatenation of assets to *increase* the average response size as much as possible:

^ did not mean that sarcastically… they really did the industry justice, without them, flash would still be trying to get a foothold in mobile

Like comparing a car with an engine to a wheelbarrow. I’m pretty certain the flash content does more than the jpg file….

But like most, I detest flash. It’s blocked by default in my Firefox, since it is I who decides when my computer is allowed to make noise and hog cpu cycles, not some random website.

When I get stuck at Copy to clipboard, cross browser compatible multimedia players, eye catching effects that can’t do with jquery or advertisements, I think that flash is great.

Pretty much elsewhere, flash is making the overall page worse.

And mow, page size.
