I think the only two that work everywhere are: font-weight:normal; font-weight:bold; blarg to lack of font weights. something crazy is the whole font-weight:100, 200… only works on Firefox 3.0 on Mac.

Flash is built on the idea of sequential media. Everything about it is a metaphor for objects that change over time. Yes there are "timers" that can do things like fades and even super intelligent things like inertia (JQuery). However the Flash IDE is a great metaphor that allows a developer, animator, or anyone for that matter to create meaningful presentations over time. The HTML and JavaScript alternatives have yet to mature in this kind of way. It probably will but it's just not there yet. Right out of the box today flash can be used to create and tell stories. HTML5 will do a lot of things, but it won't do that. That's why I stand behind it. Flash, today is best at creating memorable experiences. But I'm sure my opinions will change as this story continues to unfold. I agree and disagree. Flash is built on the idea of sequential media.

I don't think Flash has any inherent properties that make it about "storytelling." The right combination of tools in HTML, CSS, and Javascript can and will do the same thing. It may be just a matter of tooling. My <a href="http://www.fullstopinteractive.com/blog/2010/02/the-withering-away-of-flash/" rel="nofollow">full thoughts</a>. Hey, Josh.

I'm not familiar with it, but will check it out now. On the Flash IDE part that's more or less what I mean. I could care less if the technology was called Flash, Spiderman, or Silverlight for that matter. Just as you said Flash won't die unless another interactive storytelling software comes around. And it probably will, but HTML5 is not it. As for the JavaScript libraries I think it's amazing how far they have come and how widely accepted they are. As a development platform I say go for it, but the thing that Flash did form me that those libraries are yet to do for the up and coming generation is give application level power to non-developers. I know it sounds crazy, but non-developers think in communication rather than specs. Flash bridged the gap and lead many artist into the world of development and I think helped shape web design as we know it today. It has it's place as a communication media as well as a creative gateway to development. Thanks for reading BTW :) And also thanks for the comment.
