I don't know if anyone else on the bottom of their screen has an ad saying "Create Free FLASH Websites"... but it was on mine and I thought it was quite ironic.
No, the UI seems to be based on After Effects, not Flash. Thank God.
Adobe providing tools for Web design surprises you ? What has Dreamweaver been all this time ?
I cant wait for the day when im blocking HTML5 ads instead of Flash.
Not quite. COBOL worked very well.... there is still a lot of it running today. Flash never worked well.
Adobe should have done this a long time ago. It would have been much better for them to have just gone "Actually, you're right... Flash is kind of crappy. Let's embrace HTML5". They just chose the hard way. They've ended up going down the HTML5 road anyway.
Maybe they would if HTML5 would be capable of doing interactive vector animations, something Flash is doing since 1996. Well, maybe HTML5 will catch up till 2036, who knows.
But this is still the direction Adobe should be going. They're great tool makers. They should focus on what they do well, which is content creation tools. They don't need a runtime. It's just trouble for them now - let the browser makers handle the actual implementations.
Uh, no. The reason Apple is still around is because of the introduction of the iPod/ iTunes ecosystem and then the continuing innovation of new products like iPhone, iPad, etc.
Though many professionals (me included) use Adobe products (Photoshop) Adobe has done almost everything possible to hinder the development of the Mac versions of their products (again, Photoshop; it not being 64bit when it's Windows counterpart is, the crap that is Flash, etc.)
How ? It's not like HTML5 is a long-lived standard here...![]()
Photoshop wasn't 64-bit because Apple played fast and loose with its developers, pulling previously announced and supported features at the last minute, arguably for political reasons. Seeing as Apple just introduced a 64-bit version of iTunes is pretty telling—if you're going to yank developers around, at least lead by example.Adobe has done almost everything possible to hinder the development of the Mac versions of their products (again, Photoshop; it not being 64bit when it's Windows counterpart is, the crap that is Flash, etc.)

Flash with a better timeline, ui, etc. is not Flash anymore... its a new tool. Why build a new tool with new capabilities on an old codebase?
It's not a standard yet, but it's been in the works for quite awhile (2005?), and browsers began incorporating the working drafts in '07-'08.
It's been around long enough that adobe could have been proactive about it. Either way, it's nice to see them finally offer something like this.
Flash is teh suck.
I used it back with it was first created in the 90s as Futuresplash.
It's still a god awful program. It's about time it's being flushed and a new product set up like After Effects is taking it's place...
Why do I feel we are going backward! Every example of html animation I've seen has been possible in flash for decades! Why replace flash!? Adobe should be improving FLASH.
I don't care what previous UI the tool is based on.
That has nothing to do with it.
Seems silly to focus on the UI except to let Adobe know (in specific terms) whether you think it is effective or not.
Wow, spoken like a true expert. lol
I don't mind seeing ads. I understand their purpose, even if I never click on them. I just wish they were static rather than dynamic. I don't need to accidentally hover over something only for it to START FLASHING AND TAKE OVER THE WHOLE SCREEN!![]()
Yeah, because as a big software vendor, you want to be implementing a moving target.
That's seriously naive and a good way to throw money away.
Yeah, right. Maybe Adobe paid from their own pockets to save Apple? Apple have nothing to be grateful about. 1998, 2003 and if you count the Flash debacle from Apple's point of view, that is 3 times that Adobe turns their back to the Mac platform.Actually, there was a time where Apple was in such in bad shape that if Adobe had dropped support for all of their apps on the platform it could have meant the start of the end for Apple. The design industry was almost ALL apple, so if that industry had to move over to Windows it would have hurt Apple even more.
Fact is, Apple is completely ungrateful for the past contributions of other software companies.
