Adobe Flash, Part II – “The Resurrection”

I’m sure most have heard about the latest announcments happening in the blog-o-sphere and from Adobe:

http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html

For many of us, we’re not surprised, although many were. The Flash plugin on mobile browsers has always been an up-hill battle. With Apple and Microsoft’s decision not to support the Flash mobile plugin, the sheer number of emerging mobile devices (with browsers) to support and the wide adoption of HTML5 for mobile browsing animations and effects – it seems this is a timely decision. It would have been nice to continue to see support, but times change. How this will affect the Flash plugin on desktop browsers remains to be seen.

The fast rise and popularity of Adobe AIR has give Flash a new life. AIR is now supported on the PC, Mac, Android, iPad/iPhone, BlackBerry, Amazon’s Kindle Fire, B&N’s NOOK, and Sony mobile devices – amongst others. Platforms that we’d never thought would support Flash now do (like televisions, cars and even alarm clocks)…with more devices to come. It’s the best option there is for deploying games or applications from one single code source to multiple platforms.

This is a step in the evolution of Flash towards amazing GPU-based 3D gaming (which we saw at Max from the Angry Birds and Unreal makers) and Enterprise-level dashboards and RIA’s and away from annoying banner ads. Although Flash “on mobile” is officially dead, Flash in essence will have been resurrected through Adobe AIR.

I’m anxious to see what Flash 12 brings us as it will help bridge the gap between HTML5 and Flash.

Flash Player 11.1 and AIR 3.1 were just released today: http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2011/11/adobe-flash-player-11-1-and-adobe-air-3-1-are-now-available.html

    My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress
    on various websites for about a year and am anxious
    about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.

    Ashe also has a talent known as Hawkshot which lets you see whats infront of you by firing an arrow inside the direction you would
    like to determine. I am sure you will agree that
    too many times recently the UFC fights are really example of “bad boxing” rather than good MMA.

    Undeniably feel that that you simply stated. Your preferred reason appeared to be about the web the
    easiest thing to be familiar with. I say to you personally, I definitely get annoyed while people consider
    worries that they can just do not know about.
    You was able to hit the nail upon the top as well
    as defined out everything without the need of side-effects
    , people could have a signal. Will probably be back to get additional.
    Thanks

    Jesus asked the question: And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Why do people think they are saved, when they will not study and obey the Gospel.
