Flash player

[FTON]

Do you use Flash player?
I use it for drawing, probably i would make an animated cartoon.

 

[Rihtar]

I use Flash player for playing flash games and browsing flash websites, but that's all that I use it for

It might be reliable, but it doesn't change the fact that you need a special software to see it and that's the main reason why most designers avoid flash - it's inconvenient for the end-user.

 

[FTON]

Like what for example?

Well, in order to view flash on websites you need Adobe Flash Player if I'm not mistaken.

I'm already usimg Adobe flash player CS5.

I'm pretty sure you're using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and not Adobe Flash Player, because I don't think that Flash Player allows you to do anything else than playing flash files in your browser.

If you search Macromedia Flash Player on Google, all results point to the Adobe Flash Player. This probably means that Macromedia was bought by Adobe and the product was renamed to Adobe Flash Player.

Are you sure its adbe flash player c5?
I think you're mistaken with Adobe Flash Professional CS5!
And yeah its great software for creating animations, I have heard a few of my friends say it. But there are a lot other tools too which supports other formats apart from flash!

I think for his purpose that wouldn't be an issue. Once he creates his animated cartoon, he can simply convert it to mp4 or anything else for that matter to use with html5.(only if he doesn't need user inputs in his videos)

True, but so far most of the websites that are running flash have required me to have flash player installed on my machine - only reason why I have it installed.

Yeah we need flash player on windows(I don't know any other software to do that in windows) for watching those videos. HTML5 is the future!

BTW youtube has an HTML5 version(which has some bugs apparently, so I switched back to flash videos version).

Check out my flash game website to see a few I made.

Microsoft Silverlight is used for Netflix, not much else though...

Btw what kind of videos are played by using silverlight?
Is it flash or some other format?

Not sure, they're all encrypted. That's how nobody pirates stuff on Netflix (unless they use a screen recorder).
