Hello Mark Allums,

Flash may not be a priority, sense it performs two functions.  One,
it acts as the standard web video player.  Two, it tries to be a
standard web programming interface and SDK.

The former is becoming mooted by the advent of HTML5.  The latter is
boring, since there are 1000s of other ways to write programs that
run in web browsers, e.g., Javascript.  No one really wants Flash to
be the go-to standard for programming, even if it offers a few shiny
gewgaws. Don't you hate Flash-based sites?  I know I do.

...and I hate websites using a 200 kByte JavaScript,  sucking  500 MByte
of memory and  consuming  100%  CPU  resources  to  implement  the  same
functionality as the Adobe Flash-Pluging.

Yes, I know a bunch of Websites claiming there are  Flash-Free...  Using
JavaScript for this purpose is the same crap as using Flash.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

I am not so much pro Javascript as I am anti-Flash. And I concede that there is room for improvement.

In fact, that is what I advocate:  Improving Javascript.

Also, note: Do not confuse Javascript with Java. Two entirely different animals.

MAA
