Publishers criticize Apple’s anti-Flash stance "Using Flash for interactive graphics is irreplaceable," the producer "Not just slideshows, but special section graphics and interactive presentations can be embedded on story pages quickly and easily. Oh, sure, just use Javascript: well guess what, we don't have a bunch of code junkies in our newsroom. We do have some great designers who've picked up Flash and enough Actionscript to be very effective." *As much as I am pro-HTML5/Canvas/JavaScript and anti-Flash, I like “real world” examples like this. The fact is there are a lot more people that know Flash right now and better tools for it to boot.
