“Battle for developers” is a short and sharp description of the situation that has emerged recently in the environment that we all live in – the Internet. The Web audience can’t stop buzzing about the “Epic Battle” between Flash and HTML 5. Here are some facts of this confrontation. The cornerstone of this struggle lies in a rivalry between Apple and Adobe. But now it is not a simple fight between two of the world’s leading IT companies – it is more of a struggle for the future of the web itself. Internet never stops evolving and HTML 5 is the evident results of this process – along with Adobe Flash.

t is not a secret that most of the web standards are very much tied to Flash technology and when such media giants as YouTube and Vimeo have started playing their content with the help of HMTL 5 in addition to the good old Flash and it was a huge surprise for some companies. Here are examples of two players that are avaliable on YouTube. The designs are almost identical but there are several details that are worth being mentioned. HTML5 player has original feature that allows to choose the connection speed – you can see this panel in the bottom left corner. Plus, since it’s HTML 5 the player is so far supported by just a few browsers – but that’s more like a problem of a browser, not the player. What’s also important is that the HTML 5 player is faster than the Flash player.

so people still use flash ?

Yes bro, flash rocks, it is rich. and with AS3, it has no match.

html5 still has a lot of work to complete.

The popularity of search engine optimization has lead to the decline of flash.

i think seun needs to give up on his inefficient bot. it killed my last post and yet some spam still make it to the boards.
here is it again


google now indexes flash.
http://googlewebmastercentral..com/2008/06/improved-flash-indexing.html

the trick is, put SEO tags in dynamic fields and change it programmatically.


Many of we developers just spread rumours without actually putting it to test.
one of such widely believed ones is that flash is heavy.

try this.
go to http://www.mediamagixng.com/
save that 100% flash page including all dependencies

go to http://www.google.com/
save it too with all dependencies

check the size of both.
on my system,

mediamagixng =213KB (6 page website in 1 flash file)
google=191KB (1 very simple webpage)

at times, the JS files necesary to produce animations comes at a price,  in Kilobyte.
my 2cents.

yeah google indexes flash, the only problem is that mobile phones cant view it,

flash was not developed for the mobile platform
replacing html5 with flash on the web is like replacing paint with photoshop
