I know some Android flash developers will interest as well. They now want to focus
on HTML5. So far, their FLA to HTML5 sucks so bad, hope they work can do a great conversion someday so Adobe would have taken such a great decision after all.
An old NG boomer who refuses to accept that Flash 8 is not longer viable for gamedev. I just want to make some games and live peacefully. I once placed in the top 5 of the month. Started with sprite animations, then learned music, game design and coding.

Adobe ceases development on mobile browser Flash, refocuses efforts on HTML5

It took a while for the flash to cocoa conversion for iphone apps, then Jobs chopped Adobe's cock off right at the launch of CS5, negating the usage of the feature.
HTML5 is shaky as it is, is making really big leaps ... whether it's because many developers are "convinced it's the future" or they're just fanboys riding the most popular "phase" interweb evolution... progress has been quick.
Adobe already has an HTML5 animation program for simple web graphics. I'm gonna guess CS6 (whatever it's called) is going to have some decent HTML5 tools.
Still, I don't see HTML5 solid at all. There are some conversors which are pretty nice so far, but no ActionScript conversion, still, there are ways to protect your AS code, but if we do a conversion to HTML5 it seems there's no way to hide it. Adobe needs to work hard, not only in HTML5 conversion, because what Flash needs is some better CPU performance and a nice idea would be incorporate DirectX or Graphic Card memory, etc...
Miss an opportunity to gain an opportunity.
Holy living shit my heart jumped. I actually missed the word "mobile"!
Nah, Flash will still be used on Web browser for a long time. Everybody said, gif will die when flash comes out, and look around, gifs everywhere. Still, when Flash dies from browsers, lot of people will still use it. Adobe knows what mathers, they are working on making it better.
