The best way for Adobe to save Flash is by killing it - Uncompiled Thoughts
In my opinion, the best way for Adobe to save Flash (the development and authoring environment) is by killing Flash (the plugin), and targeting a HTML5 runtime directly.
Flash CS4 is one of the best authoring environments for designers and illustrators to easily create and animate rich, graphical media on the web. No, it is *the* best. Being able to easily import vector artwork from Illustrator, drag and drop PNGs around, resize things and manipulate them in a WYSIWYG editor, without mucking around in the world of HTML/CSS/Javascript?
Not that I believe that authoring CSS, HTML and JS is easy on a technical level, or that Adobe is likely to give up the advantage of control over its proprietary formats. But maybe that's not such a bad idea, after all.
