Flash websites - Dead or what?

gotta love it when "s/w of the future" is buried.
i used to work for a s/w house that decided to rebuild their main market leading product in silverlight.
no sooner was it good to go when MS pulled the plug.
a rewrite in HTML literally killed the company as replicating the functionality in HTML5 proved to be very costly
- and took years of development costs hence several takeovers/redundancies (hello) etc.
in fact, the HTML5 version i believe still has nowhere near the depth as the original silverlight version, meaning that there are customers still using old browsers just for their application.

We had our entire training course for Pension on Flash. We knew about the deadline all year. Although we came close to creating a new Flashless version, we didn't quite finish in time.

Given that we have multiple partner sites who may have newer versions of Firefox since we can't control their software, really hope nobody needs to take the course til Feb

Thanks for using Adobe Flash Player. We're proud that Flash had a key role in evolving web content across animation, interactivity, audio, and video -- and we're excited to help lead the next era of digital experiences.

Flash spam, sorry.
