Re: [orca-list] is flash accessable in linux?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Flash is still very much alive in my industry.  E-learning content creators
love it for some obscure reason and just about every authoring package out
there for stuff like Scorm/AICC and Ims Common Cartridge which are packaging
conventions for courseware are just chalk full of flash content.  Tests,
simulations, even simple informative content is frequently rendered in
flash.  It's dying will take longer than you may think in some circles.  One
of the most common ways to make a course is to create a powerpoint
presentation and then export it to flash along with assessment content
interwoven into it.  It's been done this way for years.

Flash also adds a lot of security risks.
And html5 and ogg together is such a nice combo that any browser can run it.
Happy hacking.

they are killing it on mobile platforms now. They will likely kill it
completely sooner rather than later. Well, I never liked Flash anyway, and
HTML5, Ogg Vorbis and WebM have combined to make Flash completely
unnecessary for my web design needs. Free and open formats FTW!
