Flash is not an open web standards technology.

Actionscript, however, is open source. One of these days someone will do an API port of Actionscript to Javascript...much as 280 North did a Javascript implementation of Objective-C to create their Cappuccino framework - Then things will start to get interesting!

"Today’s internet content is dependant on Flash," said Grønvold. "If you remove Flash you do not have today’s internet. We are trying to give the best internet experience for our users therefore we need Flash – there is no way to beat around that bush."

Exactly.

The thing I hate about Flash is that when you send HTTP Requests from a client, they only recognize GET and POST, which makes it a pain for Flash clients to call RESTful services.
