- Our clients loved flash; they wanted those cool animations on the site. But the problem was that the flash development was not so easy to get into. Most graphics people we got were good at Photoshop and could do basic tweens in Flash. ActionScript was pretty complicated for them. For a non-flash developer, Flash was not that intuitive. Even simple things like accessing a database was quite complicated, like using intermediate XML files etc. Overall, Flash was a pain in the back. Luckily, JavaScript evolved over time. Using jQuery, we can do many cool transitions and animations, without using a separate plugin like Flash. I had problems with Flash on my 64 bit Vista.
We now hear that Apple is not supporting Flash on its iPod, iPhone and iPad. You can read Steve Job’s letter here.
Websites, without plugins are always welcome!
