I'm still not convinced.

Yes, color cycling is pretty cool, I agree. Those examples are very nice ...but we are still talking primarily animation, Flash is a good animation tool and it has a very powerful scripting language all of its own.

Until HTML5 can make animations that are truly interactive and make calls to databases and have complex script-driven animation and methods, I think that there will be a place for SWF. Using a menu to change parameters is not always what is needed.

If you visit - http://www.effectgames.com/effect/ar...ing_with_HTML5 ...you can download the source code for the color cycling engine.

The artist who made those examples is famous and they were done a fair while ago, they have just been used by the maker of the color cycling engine.
