1/12/2020 - Flash died ...
How did this happen?
After all, once flash was the main tool of advertisers, the main means of playing video / audio on media sites. Well, games, games, games ... it wasn't until iOS and Android mobile platforms appeared that did not implement this miracle on their platform 🙁 so they began to develop the HTML5 format, which eventually ruined both Flash and the entire modern WEB :(
Today HTML5, along with WebGL, has confidently and finally defeated Flash and all other third-party browser plugins. But there are a lot of browsers - that's why everything works everywhere through crutches - there is still no clear standard for so many years. With flash it was easier - it was either enabled or disabled, and the plugin worked the same everywhere and the speed and capabilities were no worse, but where something better!
What did Adobe give us? : Adobe Animate ... this is some kind of Flash only in terms of capabilities at the level of 2003, i.e. Macromedia Flash8 was 3 heads HIGHER !!
All Adobe Animate did was to retain the familiar flasher interface, and that's it ... and the rest is done by the CreateJS library. This is just a graphical editor - that is more correct to call it 🙁 all scripts in ActionScript, both 2.0 and 3.0, everything goes to hell - everything needs to be rewritten. In addition, the problem with 3D is essentially gone. How to work with WebGL - in the documentation, there are no examples either, although the capabilities of WebGL have no limitations. Game engines such as Unity3D were able to fully implement the project porting to WebGL. Adobe did nothing :( The question arises - why and why this flaw of the 2000 level weighs like a cast-iron elephant, eats resources, strains the computer and constantly falls ??
Was WEB good without Flash?
And this is how you look ... Everyone scolded this very Flash for the fact that funny web designers shoved it where it was not necessary and all the sites shone like Christmas trees. But all this masquerade was a simple solution - DISABLE THE PLUGIN and that's it! Now everyone writes in JS. Hundreds of libraries ... For graphics on the web now both Canvas and WebGL for 3D as well as audio / video codecs. As a result, the browser has become gluttonous at times worse than games. Funny web designers stuffed the sites with "beauty" and if you want / don't want to, you can't go anywhere - turn off JS and the site will die altogether :(
