I'm a little worried about losing what is to me one of the main advantages of Flash: that it can be blocked. So your all singing, all dancing website shuts the hell up and behaves like a sedate page full of text and static images. I mean, I can block JS, but it's irritating to have to. That's generally used for useful things like navigation. Flash marks something up as useless pizazz.

Very interesting point here. Maybe Adobe's next ad campaign will feature this idea: Flash is better because you can turn it off. In fact, if you turn it off, you remove 99% of all truly annoying ads on the web. Thinking ahead, maybe we need a ClickToJS...

In Safari:

1. File -> Preferences -> Show Develop menu in menu bar

2. Develop -> Disable JavaScript

One should note that if you pull the site up in IE it still uses flash, which means we still need flash. Unless you're willing to say goodbye to 40% of your customers.

Oh whatever. I can see it on me iPad. And iPhone. And Android. Who uses a fucking computer these days anyway? Programmers? ;-)

All I get on my nexus one with android 2.2 is a popup "need svg or vml" plus some non-content parts of the site

Having used both (flash extensively, js less so), I agree that flash's closed plugin status completely sucks, and this is major. That said, for nearly every other aspect of developing thick client RIAs and complex visual experiences, flash/flex/as3 wins by a mile. From IDEs to the display api to as3 apis in general to the true object oriented architecture to lack of browser inconsistencies to client side storage to s…

"true object oriented architecture"? I agree with that, but what are you comparing it to?

Anyone know how they created the scrollbar in the popup dialog boxes? It works in IE6 as well, though doesn't look as pretty as in Chrome/FF.

JScrollpane: http://jscrollpane.kelvinluck.com/ Good stuff, but doesn't work with touch/mobile devices. It would have been nice if they would have detected the userAgent before calling JScrollpane, as default scrollbars do work with mobile.
