I think it depends on what industry you're in, but generally a developer should know how to do a lot of things and not just specialize in one thing. If you only know Flash, and it goes away then you're out of luck. Rather you show know Flash, Javascript, HTML, CSS, etc. You can specialize in Flash and generalize in the others, but the more you know the better and more desirable you'll generally be.

If I were in a design shop/agency/advertising, I'd start learning other web technologies right now. Clients will buy Apple devices and want their sites to work - or hear the hype and want their customers to reach them.

I'm in the corporate elearning field and I'm not worried about it at all. HTML5 just can't reproduce what we're doing with Flash and even if it did, we're still on IE7. It'll be a long time before we're ready to use HTML5/Canvas/etc. so the kind of output that I produce isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Flash has a lot of uses outside of advertising, but that's what draws all of the ire.

Hi Folks!

This is my first message in this forum....
Im a Brazillian Flash developer and i'd like to ask you about the future of
Flash platform.

Few times ago I became a little worried about the increasing of css/xhtml
web sites instead of flash websites. Actually I can sae many sites that
before was created using flash but now they're just using flash in some
elements on page.

I wanna know your oppinion about it. Should we really feel worry about the
css+js integration and the apple to turn off flash player inside iphone,
ipad, etc, or flash will always this

Sorry for some english errors in this message.

Thank's to everyone!
