... those are the same reasons I stopped working with JavaScript and moved to Flash about 10 years ago. It doesn't look like there have been any significant improvements since then.

It seems as though people who are talking up the virtues of "HTML 5" over Flash don't actually understand or work with the technology. Also, nobody has solved the video codec licensing issues.

Or maybe I'm missing something??
