Tumult Hype or Flash

Recently purchased Backdraft and they have a tutorial to show how to integrate Hype. I looked at Hype and it seems just as complicated to use as Flash which I have a little knowledge of.
Is one better than the other for web usage?

Hype is the future. It’s based on HTML and is enshrined in W3 standards. Flash is dead, or dying, except for a few hold-out markets where it rules (game development for non-native games, basically).

iOS doesn’t allow Flash by fiat. Android doesn’t use Flash by consensus (performance was so bad that if you had installed it while it was popular/new, you would either have uninstalled it or figured that your phone was “broken”). Everyone who was trumpeting Android as the savior of Flash (rallying cry: the “real” Web) has noticeably gone silent for several years now. Even Adobe have a whole tool-chain dedicated to translating Flash animations to HTML5 so they truly WILL play anywhere.

Kevin,

I love hype. it is not as hard as it may seem. It works well with backdraft and my freeway sites I use it on.

Thanks guys. I’ll get a bit more serious about learning Hype then (and bin Flash).

Hype is incredibly easy to use and learn, give the tutorials a try. There really is no reason at all for learning flash now.

And to help make it easier bolting your Hype animations into a Freeway site, I’ve written a couple of Actions to help you along the way.
