Looking forward to hearing more about this!

It would be great to have a well understood and accepted road map for the Flash Player.

Also it would be great to hear more about Adobe’s plans to help developers and content creators transition rich media and casual games to HTML5.

Thanks again for your post!

@HB

The Flash Player is not being abandoned. We will be releasing a whitepaper shortly which will lay out the long term roadmap for the player.

I’ve recently seen at least a couple of persons around LinkedIn saying they know people working at Adobe, and that received internal memos saying Flash Player is soon to be abandoned.

I’m skeptical about those “I have a friend that…” comments, and even if they are true, I guess we won’t be able to know for sure in some time, but if it’s the case, well, it would be nice if you start preparing some info because someone is then leaking some information and you don’t want to have another PR nightmare.

I don’t think the Flash Player plugin as we know it will stay too long, but still has some years before doing so.
