Re: Flash vs. HTML 5

Show all headers | View raw

Since some audiences don't use flash (or don't like it), I think I would do HTML5. However there are things that flash does better than HTML. For example large javascript applications often takes longer to develop than flash due to cross-browser issues. Flash is an overall "package" that lets you design and develop pretty fast, integrated with the other programs adobe has. I also think flash is better for doing cartoon movies if you're into that. Development programs are available for the more design oriented HTML5 developer, but I haven't tried them.

I already have *some* knowledge about Flash, but seriously getting into it will obviously be an investment of my time, and I want to know whether it'll be worth it. From what I know about HTML 5, it IS possible to do a lot of what Flash does, but I don't see, for example, how greetings cards could be made in it - i.e. a creator would HAVE to have a "Creator Tool", in which stuff can be drawn, audio added, etc. , if the only way to achieve that in HTML 5 is to *program* everything, then that will never make people switch to it, i.e. creators of cool multimedia will never be able to get to grips with such a geeky entity. I *do* know that it is possible for example, to create stuff in say, Illustrator, and have it output stuff which can be put into a <canvas>, but I'd like to know how far that kind of thing has gone - in short, will HTML 5 replace Flash altogether? What does everyone here think?
