Under the Hood: The Nuts and Bolts of Flash Video
“But as open standards like HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly have matured over the past several years, most now provide many of the capabilities and functionalities that plugins pioneered and have become a viable alternative for content on the web.
Adobe is planning to end-of-life Flash. Specifically, we will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new open formats.”

“Besides the fact that Flash is closed and proprietary, has major technical drawbacks, and doesn’t support touch based devices, there is an even more important reason we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. We
have discussed the downsides of using Flash to play video and interactive content from websites, but Adobe also wants developers to adopt Flash to create apps that run on our mobile devices.
We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform.”

Do you think Flash is here to stay?
“Definitely. With the latest browsers and three or four plug-ins you can
achieve maybe 75% of what you could do in Flash 7 on the web.
With Flash 8, and the upcoming 8.5 player it bumps down to maybe 50%.
I'm a fan of open standards for HTML and the broader web, but Macromedia's
(Adobe's) unilateral control of the Flash platform is what enables them to
innovate so quickly.”

Robert Penner’s Easing Equations
///////////// QUADRATIC EASING: t^2 ///////////////////
// quadratic easing in - accelerating from zero velocity// t: current time, b: beginning value, c: change in value, d: duration// t and d can be in frames or seconds/millisecondsMath.easeInQuad = function (t, b, c, d) {
return c*(t/=d)*t + b;};
// quadratic easing out - decelerating to zero velocityMath.easeOutQuad = function (t, b, c, d) {
return -c *(t/=d)*(t-2) + b;};
// quadratic easing in/out - acceleration until halfway, then decelerationMath.easeInOutQuad = function (t, b, c, d) {
if ((t/=d/2) < 1) return c/2*t*t + b;return -c/2 * ((--t)*(t-2) - 1) + b;
};

Petition to Open Source Flash

“Flash along with its sister project Shockwave is an important piece of Internet history and killing Flash and Shockwave means future generations can't access the past. Games, experiments and websites would be forgotten.”

● 84000 Flash games● 150000 Flash animations● Created a swf to video exporter years ago● In 2012 re-designed the site to remove mentions of
Flash● Hoping that by 2020 someone has either a SWF to
JavaScript crosscompiler, or a SWF player that runs in WebAssembly
