"big reason for the success of Flash was Adobe's reputation for providing great tools for designers."
Adobe hates designers, now Marcomedia that was a company that loved designers Flex == the evil Flash == the great, if under supported these days Flex SDK + Elicipse + Flash == the best :) Zap -----Original Message----- Thinking about it from a different angle, I've always thought that a big reason for the success of Flash was Adobe's reputation for providing great tools for designers. (As opposed to developers, who probably all hated it until the roll-out of Flex and ActionScript 3...) I suspect that even if HTML 5 completely eats Flash's lunch in technical terms, there will still be a substantial Flash community unless and until HTML 5 (+CSS+JS+SVG) authoring tools as good as the Flash authoring tools become available.
