| I code Flash too, on 2.26 Ghz laptop running 4gb and multiple distro's, no real problems here.. A lot of us Flash coders actually want to drop Flash from our websites, widgets and resumes. It performs bad and puts a lot of stress on the CPU, blocking my vital programs from running. I also dont like Flash because Flex Builder is not a free tool and because of all the security issues in Flash that Adobe just never seems to get fixed. http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-20.ht.... Potentially leaving my computer including webcam feed and microphone wide open to anyone having an exploit before I update. http://blog.guya.net/2008/10/07/malicious-camera-spying-usin.... However, I think Flash (or read Actionscript 3.0) is a necessary evil to be able to do what you want to do.. fast and to a mass audience, see this table for statistics http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/vers.... I've been coding Actionscript for some time now, but only started really liking it when 3.0 came out. I remember when the Papervision project became popular I loved coding Actionscript.... I still do and I dont think JS has the right properties to become anything close to Flash. Adobe really is on the right way by including hardware accelerated graphics. http://www.tgdaily.com/software-features/38273-adobe-flash-p.... I hope they improve upon this a bit though.. |
