I agree with you 100%, unfortunately I am one that learned AS3 before Javascript. They are very similar but because I learned it the other way around I'm more fluent with AS3. I am just getting accustomed to Javascript, I'm not fluent in it. I must agree with you though, Javascript and HTML 5 is the way to go. I will try to apply your advice and take that route.
I want to thank you Ben for your time and guidance
