Questions about flash

[Kervtuza]

Hey Guys,

 

I am currently learning flash as part of a course I am taking and I was wonder what all flash is used for other than just nice looking websites? I have also been told that html5 and css3 are replacing the need for flash...is this true? Also are any mobile applications for android or iphone made with Flash?

Flash has definitely been losing popularity -- probably the only place you'll see it nowadays is gaming websites or movie related websites. HTML5/CSS3 and Javascript/jquery have generally taken over a lot of the things that Flash used to be used for (animations, slideshows, etc.) You probably won't find mobile websites made in Flash since modern mobile devices generally don't support Flash.
