![]() | Is Adobe Flash Software Going Away Forever? |
![]() |
Currently in 2012, there have been benchmarks done and HTML5 runs even more poorly than flash. One advantage that I feel Adobe Flash currently has is that it is simply much faster than HTML5's and Javascript. It uses less CPU processing and memory. Flash is based off the C++ Object Oriented Language and that in of itself is much faster than Javascript. It may take standard PC computers another 5 to 10 years for processing and graphics speed for HTML5 to get to what Flash can do today in 2012. So in that time frame don't you think mobile devices will also pick up speed and that flash content will run better on them?
If you want to see another example of flash vs. html you can go to our front page animation and compare for yourself: Also in that time don't you think there will be just that much more flash based content on the web? Don't you think that maybe Adobe will come out with another way to deliver Flash based content to mobile devices? If they do not, they will lose a lot of money. It comes down to the all mighty dollar and to simply abandon it would not be a good business decision, at least not one I would make. Are they just going to forget about the developers when they can offer Flash Professional upgrades and new releases to them and make more money? If I was running the company, I wouldn't just abandon the existing market place? That is like throwing money down the drain and certainly doesn't seem like a wise decision. One of the biggest complaints by Apple was that flash is proprietary and that is unfair to the web. Well, ok, you can make that argument but in order to make a game for the iPad or iPhone, you also need to have proprietary software and a Mac. So they are just being hypocritical in my opinion. Mac's aren't cheap. Now I am not against phone and tablet applications by no means but quite frankly, a lot of good iPhone and iPad games also run slowly because the lack of CPU power currently! Currently the demand for Adobe's creative suite is extremely high. If they were going out of business then they would not be releasing new version of their software. They may adjust their software to work with different platforms like HTML5 so that in the event that when someday HTML5 will perform what Flash can do today then developers have multiple options. To me, it sounds like Adobe is preparing for the future not abandoning it! |
... however these games previously done in Flash, now HTML5, will live on:
