From a multimedia and eLearning perspective, Flash is incredibly powerful allowing for interlinked and nested movies that can be called from a parent. It also used to run on all systems until Apple decided to throw it under the bus instead of working with Adobe.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of closed and proprietary systems, or programming for a wide array of target systems. Flash has been a huge benefit for the eLearning development community, rapid eLearning development tools like Articulate, and I will be sad to see it go, bugs and all.Benjamin Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320168591229792898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120556183800964088.post-62598766455148424622010-05-07T16:27:58.905-07:002010-05-07T16:27:58.905-07:00Very well stated.

The fear is cost of converting Flash elements to HTML5 and retooling a Flash-focused development team.<br /><br />I have a long-term relationship with Flash. It's been a great tool and opened opportunities that didn't seem probable with other tools on the market. I am somewhat mourning that it seems the market will shift away from this product, but I feel very fortunate that the forecast future standards, although not definite, seems to have clear trends. <br /><br />This enables us to retool and adapt proactively to seize opportunities that may be closed to us if we don't carefully consider the information presented.criticallearnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060824189592351671noreply@blogger.com
