- yocouchdigga, on 06/10/2009, -2/+34you are a physical embodiment of Search Engine Optimization?
- ShadeRF, on 06/10/2009, -2/+29How about just giving us a 64bit version of flash player?
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -1/+21what's it like being an SEO? is it hard? I bet it's hard.
- Balanced, on 06/10/2009, -2/+22I'm just hoping they release a less crash-happy version of Flash for Mac OS X. I can see why Apple doesn't want it on the iPhone.
- htiawe, on 06/10/2009, -1/+16It's just a matter of time before Flash totally overtakes Real for the position of most crappy software ever created.
- blackjack75, on 06/10/2009, -0/+14I'd like to reply to your comment but my mac is still swapping due to the flash ad on this page.
- macslut, on 06/10/2009, -0/+14HTML5 FTW!!!
I recently moved my sites over to h.264 .mp4 files. I'm still using a Flash based player, but will soon be rolling out an HTML5 player for browsers that support it.
Since Flash supports .mp4 with h.264, I highly encourage content providers to move to this format instead of .FLV and of course providing direct links to the .mp4 file so that Flash can be avoided all together. With a little template magic, you can have your site work transparently for users without Flash...including smartphone users. - inactive, on 06/10/2009, -2/+16Informative article, Flash Catalyst seems to be a gift for non-coding designers. Adobe is best in everything except prices ;)
- arunforce, on 06/10/2009, -2/+15How about native 3D support for Flash and not pseudo 3D?
- GraceHead, on 06/10/2009, -1/+11will someone hurry and develop an alternative flash player for browsers?
- dagamer34, on 06/10/2009, -4/+14Flash for video needs to die.
That is all. - noboot, on 06/10/2009, -3/+12Why do we even need flash? Why can't we standardize on a video format that all platforms can play. h.264 with Windows7 and OSX. Vista and XP users can install whatever they like to bring that compatibility. I want to use my native OS video players. I want video card acceleration. I do not want ***** flash.
Browser developers advertise process separation in such a way that just makes flash look horrible. "If a plugin like flash crashes, your whole browser will not come down". 80% of people can relate to flash related crashes. - sully213, on 06/10/2009, -0/+9***** Eating Ogre? Severely Elongated Ovary? Super Ego Otter? Your acronyms confuse me.
- captainchris, on 06/10/2009, -3/+12the adobe™ experience defined:
http://adobegripes.tumblr.com
i can't believe they are making another program with that broken interface - monkeyrun, on 06/10/2009, -2/+8Seems it's going in the wrong direction.
Stop reinventing the wheel. - noboot, on 06/10/2009, -0/+5Yeah, but many developers use it when it isn't necessary. Such as for menu animations. A MIX Online like menu http://visitmix.com/
Home, Articles, Labs, Opinions. They have a nice hover effect. I have seen this done in flash so many times. - UnbannedAccount, on 06/10/2009, -0/+5Buried for being misleading. The title makes it seem like it is objective, when the actual article is a big circle jerk for flash.
Also, I read half of it and I still don't get what actually makes it so revolutionary as it claims. - LiquidIse, on 06/10/2009, -2/+7Silverlight? People are still hesitant about flash due to its market injection. And you suggest silverlight??
- mrBitch, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4@ MtheoryX, RE: ".. mpeg-4, h.264 video encoding, AAC audio encoding.
Well established, nearly every media player supports it, exceptional quality, you don't *need* quicktime for it, and none of flash's suck."
AND, h.264 video + AAC audio ARE a better standard. - gametavern, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4Then you're not using flash design right, because Google can index the text in there.
- etx313, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4You're against poorly coded flash web sites...
- MtheoryX, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4"Then find a better standard that isn't the awful ogg theora or quicktime..."
mpeg-4, h.264 video encoding, AAC audio encoding.
Well established, nearly every media player supports it, exceptional quality, you don't *need* quicktime for it, and none of flash's suck.
There. - gemlarin, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4Great, now the laymen has access to Flash to ruin the web even more with Flash Based Websites. And I say that as a Flash Developer that insists on never using Flash for much more than interactive games, media viewers(very limited), and learning tools.
Flash Catalyst is going to be a blight on the web. At least before Actionscript kept people away from using Flash incorrectly in web design and "uglying" it up. Web 2.0 becomes Myspace 2.0. - shifty2, on 06/10/2009, -1/+4still waiting for GPU accelerated Flash...
So far Adobe/Nvidia is on board for a release this summer. This will be great for ION based netbooks/tops - thefreehunter, on 06/10/2009, -2/+5It would be nice to be able to have two flash videos open at once without them dropping to 5FPS and using 100% of my processor. If I have American Dad buffering in on tab, I want to be able to watch keyboard cat in another.
- prolikewhoa, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Google can index flash now
- serif69, on 06/10/2009, -1/+4So you're like a web designer, but evil.
- TyrannousDotNet, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3he is obviously a "Seasoned equity offering".
- AngelBunny, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3you will have to wait for a very very long time. flash still is hardly supported with 64 bit and that is an easy jump compared to gpu accelerated processing.
- eitup, on 06/10/2009, -1/+4Dugg for keyboard cat reference
- Mootabolife, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Why must they force me to use a 32-bit browser on my flashy new 64-bit box?
- mooninite, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3They have given you a 64-bit Flash player.
Install Gentoo.
(I run Fedora though, to each his own) - redbergy, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Uh... Flash Builder is basically Eclipse with a plugin installed, Eclipse runs on Linux as does Flash Builder see: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilde ... Catalyst is built on Eclipse as well, I see no reason why they can't offer Linux support with this program as well. The Flex framework is Open Source BTW
- yocouchdigga, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2@game - is that anything like a social-network-web 2.0-9001 guru?
- splatter, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2Did you read the article?
It's about the Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst betas, not the CS4 suite. - freeforall079, on 06/11/2009, -1/+3Linux Mint 7 Gloria x64 comes with the 64bit version of flash.
It also has the 64 bit version of Java.
You just need a better OS. - Schiffy, on 06/10/2009, -3/+5Yes, Flash websites are difficult to optimize for search engines, but strides are being made…
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/s ...
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/a ... - MtheoryX, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Sounds like you're an ignorant spammer trying to sound like you ***** do something for a living... and failing at that.
- captainchris, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2flash is a windows 95 app with a nice icon
- serif69, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2But I like the SBBOD. It's pretty.
- gametavern, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2yes please.
- snake1025, on 06/10/2009, -1/+3I think that *there* is a course for spelling at the University of Phoenix.
- LiquidHelium, on 06/10/2009, -3/+5If you build your website in flash you don't deserve to be on a search engine.
- amitait, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2I'm a designer.
I want Adobe FB/Flash/Photoshop on Linux. - mrBitch, on 06/11/2009, -1/+3@ Liquidise, RE: " ... @ Unbanned, Silverlight? People are still hesitant about flash due to its market injection. And you suggest silverlight?"
Yeah, Unbanned is an MS astroturfer :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing - MtheoryX, on 06/11/2009, -0/+21) Tiny pic fail
2) Yeah, we know what a database connection error looks like.
3) You use the diggbar? lame. - logic, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2We don't need an alternative to AJAX. We do need proper SVG support and faster javascript engines, though.
- theaceoffire, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1I'm just hoping they release a less crash-happy (CPU hoggin) version of flash for (any non-MS os).
- theaceoffire, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1We need it to be less round! And why do we need a full circle?
