There is an option to set Flash to "on demand" mode on mobile devices.
There is so much flash content out there on the web, and being able to play flash content on-the-move, on-demand is obviously a good thing.

Omegle and chatroulette, both use Adobe Stratus . Both sites depend on advertising revenue.
I dont think Adobe actively bans commercial projects/products from using Straus. Stratus is in beta, and Adobe doesnt provide any official support. So if you want to run a business that uses RTMFP with Adobe support, then LCCS (LiveCycle Collaboration Services) is the way to go.

Chatroulette uses Stratus and RTMP. RTMP, when Stratus fails because of firewall restrictions.

In my opinion, web based documents should have certain level of semantic purity. Of course there will be technical difficulties to achieve it, but that is what hackers are for. Right?
While you have the right to justify the lack of semantic markup in Scribd html docs, he has the right to expect a non-messy markup underneath.
Calling someone's expectation "ignorance" isnt very fair.

Apart from the links 'geeymb' posted, FlashDevelop is a popular free tool to create flash content [flashdevelop.org]
Scribd uses 'pdf2swf' from swftools.org to convert pdfs(Not sure if they still use it. ref: http://www.swftools.org/references.html )
Scaleform depends heavily on Flash[scaleform.com]. Ming library is a nice option to create dynamic swf files on server side[libming.org].
A nice little online editor and compiler can be found here: http://www.victordramba.com/?p=31
Although there are so many nice, robust open source tools built around Flash, i haven't heard of Adobe actively promoting any of them.

>The $600 Flash authoring tool is the only way to produce Flash applications.
That statement is wrong. Anyone can create tools that can 'create' and/or 'run' swf files. Adobe itself provides Flex SDK cost free. It is an opensourced framework.
http://osflash.org/projects has a list of opensource tools available to create flash content.

I would like to know what Flash game are you comparing this simple game with.

It is more of a (biased?) demonstration than a debate, and obviously video is a better choice.

I dont think Scribd made too much investment in Flash developers. On server side they were using "PDF2SWF" released under GPL by Swftools.org. My understanding is that, initially they were using 'FlashPaper' to display documents in front end.

I like the idea of mandatory comment to downvote. I dont see any reason why someone should give an offtopic explanation for downvotes.

Same here on Firefox 3.6.3+ OSX 10.5.6
Looks like a badly timed choppy slideshow even after 3rd load. The preloader looked very nice.

'it wasn’t “Apple” that rejected his app initially — it was some nameless individual App Store reviewer.'
Speechless!

That page crashed Firefox 3.6.3 on OSX 10.5.6! You need to have some ridiculously embarrassing development skills to build something like this.
Learn to use Flash, Adobe.
ilike | 16 years ago | on: Why Apple did what they did
Author's points would have been valid if Apple didnt charge developers for App approval process.
But there is a developer fee, which obviously go towards approval/rejection of submitted apps. Apple's existing app approval process is more than enough to not let in crappy apps.The fee will cover extra cost arising from influx of new developers.
