Flash is dying out

Question

Since upgraing my flash player i'm amazed at how much flash
content is now unavailable. today's 10 min surf added
http://www.indianajones.com,
http://www.hgtv.com, to the list.
And why?
Detection scripts.
Developers out there are not updating detection scripts
whenever a new version is available. Even the boys/girls at lucas
arts don't have enough time to update the scripts.
So why oh why can't flash handle its own updates? autoinstall
updates? with permission of course?
leaving it in the hands of the developer just isn't working.
Whilst flash was once an invisible enhancement, its now a barrier
to a lot of sites.
Flash can't get too big for its own boots here. First things
first, its a plug-in that has to act as a plug-in, that means it
just can't ignore its environment.
People aren't going to keep using flash regardless. As soon
as it means they can't see the lasted movie trailer, or get some
diy tips, its days are numbered.

Answer 1

Have you tried Silverlight
http://www.silverlight.net/
and Expression Blend
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/overview.aspx?key=blend
This is one fantastic tool that most web developers can
easily pick up.
Javascript is what makes actions in silverlight based sites
tick. So this
makes silverlight more closer to the web platform. I have
been using and its
pretty cool.
