sup, bitch?
flash literally would have been 1000000% better if they just deleted the source code and let someone competent rewrite it from scratch. silverlight managed to do the same things without murdering your CPU. they had almost 20 years to do that but instead kept polishing that same buggy turd. so gently caress you, adobe, your poo poo is garbage

same, probably.


videos and games are one thing, then there were sites that were entirely based in flash. actually been a while since I've come across one of those, even restaurants have moved away from that crap

the restaurant website thing is so funny because once people had smartphones there was this mad rush to fix them because it turns out if someone can't see your menu they're not going to bother showing up

now if they could just cut it out with the pdf menus

flahs is and will still be used for the forseeable future to make ui in video games
ui artists know how to use it and work with it and scaleform (the flash runtime implementation from autodesk used in games) is a huge pile of poo poo but hand rolling something equivalent would be tons of work and would still have to use flash movies as input data anyway because of the above

Lol if flash isn't even going to be available for download after 2020, what graphic designer would even consider learning it now

Chances are you'll have a slowly dwindling supply of designers who still know flash, and new designers will just move on to using something else

it used c# instead of javascript which instantly makes it better by itself but it also used XAML/mvvm which made it way nicer to do UI work on. UWP is the continuation of Silverlight, basically.

it was made by microsoft and was probably easy to develop for if you were used to writing windows code so shaggar decided it was actually good and not just another "microsoft skating to where the puck was a decade ago" exercise

I'd guess that the gm of a restaurant has absolutely no desire to update a loving website on top of the other 2000 things they have to accomplish during their average 18 hour workday so they just get the designer who does their menus to upload a copy when it changes so at least there's no chance the site and physical menu are different

Microsoft collected all the data on web development and then created the best web application development platform possible at the time. of course web "developers" are all retards so they decided on javascript instead.

Reminder: System Center still requires deprecated ol' Silverlight to use the software center.

that explains why video game interfaces are so bad

back when id was making rage they rolled their own flash renderer to do the ui (it's in the doom3 bfg repo). iirc during the last few months of rage development they ended up rewriting much of the flash ui in native code because rendering those few flash bits ended up taking something like 1/3 of the frame time budget

there was a point where adobe themselves were bundling some lovely av software with flash that you had to check a box to opt out of during the download

silverlight was a containerized runtime, nothing web about it except that with a third party addon it happened to run in some web browsers

web = html
