[citation][nom]RunStart[/nom]I can not speak about flash for mobile phones, tablets, etc. But for PC's, Flash has always worked flawlessly for me. Never had problems ever and I can honestly say that for the last 8 years even when Flash was still owned and Developed by Macromedia. Never had crashes, issues or viruses through flash. I use only the FireFox web-browser though and before that I used Mozilla. Also my friend uses Goolge Chrome with flash and no Problems. So if Flash has had issues with IE or other browsers I wouldn't know. On average a full dynamic flash site uses 15-30% cpu for me using a Core 2 Duo processor. The most dynamic flash effects and animation bordering on almost looking like rendered 3D particle effects, waves and distortion effects, uses around 50% CPU but that's going over the top. Never had issues with Flash Video either. Its never been hard for me to update flash and shockwave or uninstall. So I don't know whats up with peoples comments Quite frankly, after hearing complaints from Mac users about flash being sh@#y or Steve Jobs feelings about adobe, I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Jobs made sure Flash sucked hard using the Safari web-browser and Mac OSX. Other than that, I don't understand why people want Flash to die so hard. Only because of Flash video? Those are obviously from people who are users and not people who are web developers that have used Flash. Flash and the Flash CS Development program form Adobe is actually pretty impressive. You can develop a website that looks like it could only exist in a video game with out knowing any web-site code. And I'm still not sold on HTML 5's true potential to out due Flash. Flash has a lot of abilities, can HTML 5 use masking techniques to hide a predefined shape or use masking to create transparency transitions as animations for web effects? can you create particle effects and add physics to them and sound effects to them but program them to only show up when its midnight in your timezone and then the particles explode into pieces when you click on them? and then re-arrange the particles to form the correct shape to win points for a browser based game, but without knowing any Javascript and very little programming knowledge? Maybe when Adobe Integrates HTML 5 into their programs, but then HTML 5 will be synonymous with Adobe, not Apple.[/citation]
Agreed, Flash has ever given me issues.
