A program that will significantly influence the development site: Future Splash Animator. That same year, Macromedia acquired Future Wave and launches the program with the name of Macromedia Flash. Macromedia is in charge of the program to version 8. In 2005, Adobe acquired Macromedia, and since that time, it manages the program, currently under the name of Adobe Flash Professional CS5.
The inability of the HTML standard prior to version 5 to manage videos and motion graphics strengthens Flash multimedia technology as used on the web. Suffice it to say that until last year almost the entire video on the Internet using this technology exclusively. This situation began to change in October last year and 56% of videos on the internet offering its version HTML5.
The development of version 5 of HTML and CSS version 3 has been raised in various ways, questions about the future of Flash. It has also been influential harsh criticism of Steve Jobs to Flash.
Since then, the combination HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript can offer quality media experience but does this mean the end of flash?
1. Adobe Flash is the most widely used tool for creating multimedia on the network. According to data from Adobe, 99% of the systems of Internet-connected desktops have installed flash player files.
2. In the environment of Flash mobile phones has not achieved the same penetration in computers. Apple does not allow third-party runtimes. Therefore, do not let you play flash files: phone (60% of smart phones), iPod touch (95% of Internet devices) and the iPod, with over 4 million iPods sold during the first half of 2010.
3. HTML 5 is not a closed standard. Ian Hick son, editor of the HTML 5 specification, estimates that 100% will not be until 2022 or later. Anyway, some specifications can be tested since last year. In conclusion, we assess whether the solution can be offered in HTML 5 or Flash is still needed. This will depend on project needs.
4. Only the latest versions of browsers are capable of interpreting the new HTML and CSS. When launching a new version of a browser a minority of users is updated. Most are reluctant to change. The average user delay updating an average of two years. And it is the maximum time. Currently still 13.06% of users who use Internet Explorer 6.0 (released in March 2001). In conclusion, a large number of desktop computer users can not access HTML pages 5.
5. Adobe Flash and Adobe Flash Builder are environments for developing Flash applications with high performance. There is currently no similar development environment for HTML 5-CSS-JavaScript. In conclusion, HTML 5 draft will be more expensive than a similar Flash project.
My advice is that we must assess the needs of the project and choosing the technology. Contact to evaluate your web project.
