im bad with computers... i dont think i have either of the two...
FLASH
HTML
Let's face it there are different tools for different jobs. Flash performs jobs that Html, etc. cant do.
Flash is not something you can learn over night and I think this is something else that makes people not like it. Many people enjoy the benefits of using Flash; just because some don't isn't a reason to dismiss it as useful piece of software. Sweeping generalizations are never good to make and quite often are the sign of ignorance.
Flash can be merged with any macromedia product such as dreamwaver (php or asp..ect + javascript + asc .. to create databases with flash's swf) just like http://www.webagent007.com/ and http://chill.coca-cola.com/ creating games, video live chats, no page refreshing and much more ! Since its vector graphics, it should not take much time to load compared to jpgs..ect
HTML was born since in 1979 and now it can also be merged with php or asp..ect + javascript for its database just like flash but the only problem is the page refreshing and 404 errors and usualy takes too much time to load large image layouts. Peoples click everywhere and bandwidth is wasted due to page refreshing here and there. Also you can only add text, images, and some javascripts
I dont know that do you peoples think about html website like this site. But flash is awsome. Im sick of boring html.
HTML is not a language.

Flash is cool, but I have an annoying time running Flash. I use 64-bit Linux as my desktop system, and there is no plugin for 64-bit Mozilla Firefox on Linux. I'm reduced to using 32-bit Firefox which works like crap in a 64-bit environment. HTML rendering is available on every platform, not just 32-bit stuff. Now, I realize most people dont' give a damn, as 32-bit Windows is used by 95% of normal computer users. Just explaning my reasons though.
Dont make your sig that big again or I'll de-brain you---administration
Everything has it's own purpose, and Flash only serves one: convey images and sound to the end user.
HTML is necessary to display web pages to every single end user. Without HTML your Flash sites wouldn't even exist. Flash sits nice and cozy inside HTML's little embed tags. Granted, the added graphical details by using Flash over something like a table or a DIV tag is great, but you don't need a sledgehammer to open a pecan.

I gotta roll with HTML . I just find it more important....
Not really an opinion/debate topic. Moving to website design area.
Most of this site is coded in PHP. HTML is used for the appearance.Originally Posted by ???
So I guess it's called Hypertext Markup Language just to make a cool acronym, eh?HTML is not a language.
Clan? What Clan?
I'm the Master. I need no Clan.

From a security point of view, Flash is almost as bad as JAVA. Security 'Features' have been found in the past with both the Flash interpreter, and the JAVA sandbox, and no doubt more 'Features' will be found in the future.
The other problems with both Flash and JAVA, is that not all viewing platforms have these installed by default. (And who knows what new cell phone/PDA/set top box/wristwatch will be developed in the future to view your website with...) Since HTML, and it's descendent XML are World Wide Web standards, these will always be the default data formats supported...
