There are lots of great Flash sites out there in the world. There are also just as many bad Flash sites that leave a bad impression of Flash in users' minds. One of my rules of thumb is that if a "skip" button is necessary, the application is probably not necessary.
Flash enables designers to develop, developers to design, and novices to create professional experiences. No other application available today can rival Flash for its ease of use, powerful development capabilities, multimedia features, and design power.
Mac users will notice increased performance within the Player, which is a welcome update. ActionScript gurus will appreciate the ability to control design elements at run-time, and improved debug and file uploading capabilities. Video performance and quality have been vastly improved over previous versions. Dynamic loading of GIFs and PNGs are a welcome addition as is the alpha channel support for video, stand-alone video encoder, and all the other video improvements. Robert explains how to make the most of these updates in clear and concise language.
