Get off my lawn! Damn kids.
mosez thinks there is no ****ing future at all.
This thread will survive all advances in web design platforms.
Use Unity for games and JS for anything else.
Honestly I'm not too worried about it. Adobe doesn't have to do alot to maintain the flash player. Even though they still are very active with the updates. Your older scripting should still be safe for awhile at least.
It did however piss me off to no end when they didn't update for android.
Last time when I asked this question, i think someone said there's still AS2 in the next few versions of Flash.. but now i've not even heard of the new version of Flash yet.... i'd hate it to be just Flex.. right now there are things that i've done for my GUI enhancements like animations, transitions and FX, that one can't do in FLex (some for flare only but some are actually useful) .
