Week 1: Flash
use to be fun based on my experience
In DMA205 - Introduction to Flash, I
struggled learning the use of Adobe Flash CS5 software in the beginning, but I
still manage to survive in the end by getting extra help from others. I had fun
doing animation in Flash, such as creating a Bell commercial using lots of
texts and images. The word "Fun" disappeared when I reached DMA355 -
Advanced Flash because we had to create a web content or a game, and we must
use Action Script which was hard to learn by ourselves. Therefore, based on my
experience, I would say Action Script
with Flash is Dead because it was very complicated to use, no wonder why it's
not good enough for iPads, iPhones, and other smartphones.

"Apple.
With this move, Adobe has conceded that Flash was never going to make it to
iPads or iPhones. "
http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/14/3241727/flash-for-android-dies
"Adobe
never really had a chance with iOS, but it faltered where it did have a chance
— on Android."
Flash
"was not going to achieve the same ubiquity on mobile that it has on the
desktop."

Jobs wrote.
“Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact
the opposite is true.”
"Flash
is the main reason Mac computers crash, is a drain on batteries and was
designed for traditional desktop computers, not touchscreens."
Week 2: The
Disadvantages of Incorporating Flash Designs
http://www.netstarter.com.au/services/web-design/what-is-flash-design
- Websites with
Flash designs may experience incompatibility with certain web browsers.
- Flash designs
often require the user to have the latest version of Flash plug-ins to be
compatible.
- Search
engines are often unable to process and rank a website which predominantly uses
Flash designs. Thus a text only or html web page design may need to be produced
to calculate SEO.
- Flash designs
often take longer to load than simple html web pages.
- Flash designs
are widely used in web advertisements, and thus some browsers may contain tools
to block Flash content from appearing.
- Not all web
browsers may have a flash player installed and so it may limit the number of
clients who can actually view your web page design.
- Websites
created using only Flash designs often contain very small fonts thus making
them very hard to read.
Week 3:
Versions of Flash
I think it's smart and helpful that the company of adobe creates many
versions of flash every 8 months or year, such as creating Adobe Flash CS6 from
CS5.5. Every version has its own new features - so just see if those new
features are what we need. Check this site to see.

Week 4: HYPE
Framework
- Just before
Adobe Max I had the opportunity to visit the Joshua Davis workshop about
the HYPE Framework.
- The
HYPE-framework is a easy framework for creating digital art.
- It makes it
easy to build computer based art in Actionscript 3.
- Josh is a
very outgoing and super friendly person. All of us had really good fun with
him.
- It was build by Branden Hall &Joshua
Davis.
- HYPE is just for people who are new to
programming.
- HYPE is for
anyone, regardless of skill, who wants to play with code.
- The point of
HYPE is to make Flash fun again.
- We made HYPE
to help bring back the playfulness that once defined our community.

Week 5: It's
Not Dead, Flash can deal with those format without any problems
Even Adobe
have decide to move away of Flash, but lot of web designer also still using
Flash, and all the action strip is strongly being use in this work area. For
closing, Indeed Flash may not be the official standard during this moment, but
we still need using Flash for our PC, smart phone and all those tablets,and
even for Video such as Youtube, we still need Flash
Week 6: Flush is not working in chrome
Adobe Flash
Player is directly integrated with Google Chrome and enabled by default.
Available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome
system updates. If you want to use Adobe Flash Player in other browsers, you’ll
need to separately download the Adobe Flash Player for those browsers.

Week 7: Enable or disable Adobe Flash Player
These
instructions apply to Google Chrome on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome OS.Type
chrome:plugins in the address bar to open the Plug-ins page.On the Plug-ins
page that appears, find the "Flash" listing. To enable Adobe Flash
Player, click the Enable link under its name. To disable Adobe Flash Player
completely, click the Disable link under its name.
Note: If
you've previously installed Adobe Flash Player separately, you'll see two files
listed for the plug-in. If both are listed as enabled, the version bundled with
Chrome will be used. To enable a specific version of Adobe Flash Player, click
Details in the upper-right corner of the page. Then click the Enable link for
the version of Adobe Flash Player you want to enable. The table below shows the
filename for the version that is integrated with Google Chrome.

Week 8: Chopy and slow Flash Player.
I have the same
problem all the time. The problem you may be facing is as follows: after
upgrading to Flash Player 11.3 or higher, you may be seeing choppy playback in
Flash movies on some websites, under some situations. For example, Youtube
movies might be all smooth and dandy when viewed on the organic website,
however embedded instances might not.
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/flash-slow-performance.html
Week 9: Flash Player performance
If you're seeing a
choppy playback in embedded videos but not organic ones, this probably means
there's something in the Flash Player that restricts the playback of embedded
content, probably because it points to third-party sites. So a word comes to
mind, security. After seeing the phenomenon affect my box, I realized there
might be a new feature in Flash Player 11.3, which may not have been existed or
may not have been activated before, which is causing the performance problems.
So, some research is needed.

Week 10: Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols for Networking
Sure, Adobe
is moving away from Flash, and I too once thought that meant that HTML5 was
going to magically do away with Flash. I was wrong. All HTML5 video really does
is sweep the question of which video containers and codecs under the the rug.
Today, Web designers must support not just Flash, but several video formats to
be sure that their visitors can watch their videos.

Week 11: Flash Go away
On the
laptop, some Flash sites burn through battery and kick in the fan. I'm fine
seeing Flash go away. If HTML5 and h.264 work with iOS and Android, I am just
reasoning they can work fine on most computers and laptops.
Week 12: Why Flash is Dying?
It will be completely dead very soon. Because
even though the HTML5 standard does not formally define a standard video codec,
there's already a de facto standard codec, which is supported by practically
100% of all HTML5-capable devices.
Week 13-14: Flash is not really important to me
So, I don't really give a damn about Flash, it's up to the society and the people.
