5 Reasons Flash is NOT dying...give me a break!
1.Flash is a cross-platform software. Flash will work the same on PCs, Macs, and in any browser with very little testing needed which isn't the same for HTML5.
2.Flash has thousands of companies worldwide that have built their business on Flash technology. It will be expensive for many companies to switch.
3.Flash is more secure than HTML5. HTML5 is easier to take the code when you can view the source. Flash's content is more secured which gives the creator to have the upper hand and protect their work.
4. 98% of Internet users has Flash and even then it's a simple download.
5. Adobe is a large company and they will not let Flash die, but will probably move to make it work on iPhone and iPads in the future. The reason is that there's more Androids that uses Flash which Apple will want to share in the future.
I like that Flash is easy to download and that there's always updates to it. Most of my peers and friends has Androids because they can have touch screen service, download applications, and can have widgets. My friend can make pictures in his text message with having that application. Apple products are specific in what content they will allow so your choices are limited. I also looked at a site where you can have different galleries of showing your pictures for example. There was one that was a 3D template where the demonstration showed that the picture was broken up in several tile pieces, but each piece rotated, flipped, or slide in to make one composition. This simple effect gives a dynamic and static personality than just a flat surface.

Here's a video that actually discussed how HYPE works and the code with it. It was similar to playing with values on x and y axis, rotation, scaling, positioning, changing colours, fixed and variable vibration, and capture the clip to the canvas. I like that Joshua Davis has been in the industry when Flash was just getting started and he's a traditional artist that was really curious to see what programming could lead to. He has worked with AS1, AS2, and AS3. He breaks down the code and explain it in simple terms and easy to explain. I remember when I was in second semester when you (Andrew) showed us Hype frameworks, but I had no idea. I just know it was hypnotic to look at, but learning action script and understanding how it works with functions, variables, and operators was similar to Hype. It's so simple to be interactive with Hype that you can work with audio, to blur filters, trace bitmap, and just change the properties of an oscillator to make text appear to have motion, feeling, and energy.
