Of HTML 5 being a good transition, as embedding audio and video is something that HTML certainly needs to natively support, but at the same time I realize that HTML 5 still has its shortcomings, and will continue to have its shortcomings for quite a while. Videos can be played at a higher quality in Flash, as it offloads properly onto the GPU. HTML 5 essentially offloads the job of Flash onto the browserĭevelopers, whereas the browser developers have not worked with the technology like Adobe has, so HTML 5 fails to be as powerful as Flash.

Flash is optimized for GPU acceleration and Flash supports a wider range of interactive content.

Flash is still relevant, and will continue to be relevant. Flash had its moments but there is a reason why 50% of the time its on i've developed in ActionScript before and its like a jungle without exits, spaghetti without the sauce. there's nothing flash can do that html5 cant do better. name one browser that doesnt support html5 with its lastest

having windows 8 support html5 natively, flash will have no place in the world in 5 years time. I dont understand why anyone is still developing under flash. In today's Linux binary are libcrystalhd.so and Broadcom,H264, references.Dont install flash. It appears that for hardware-assisted video playback that, for the moment at least, it's still bound to NVIDIA VDPAU under Linux.īut one new addition to Flash Player 11 for Linux does appear to be Broadcom Crystal HD support, which was available in previous Flash Player 10 versions to Windows users. In poking around the libflashplayer.so binary from this first Flash Player 11 Beta, it doesn't appear that it yet supports the VA-API acceleration interface available to the open-source Intel driver and AMD Catalyst users, among other drivers/hardware. Up until now, 64-bit users have been stuck with an outdated Flash 'Square' Beta. To cut to the chase, over on Adobe Labs is the Adobe Flash Player 11 Beta 1 (v11.0.1.60) where the 32-bit and 64-bit plug-ins can be obtained. This is the first public beta release of the Adobe Flash Player 11 that offers both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries to Linux users, along with 64-bit binaries for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X users. As we have been expecting since May, the next Adobe Flash Player release finally re-syncs the 64-bit build with the Flash updates in the mainline code available to 32-bit users.
