I kind of miss flash. Security issues aside, Actionscript 3 and the graphics api felt a lot easier to use than js/canvas and was more performant.
It felt like adobe just rolled over once Steve Jobs declared flash dead. They even bundled mcafee antivirus with the flash download, it's like they just want it to be over.
You can check out Adobe AIR; it uses Actionscript 3 and it deploys to web, desktop, Android, and iOS. In practice you can straight up copy-paste an AS3 codebase into an AIR project and have it work 99%. And I like to think that Adobe is more committed to supporting AIR since it's available for mobile.
in actionscript? I haven't worked with it for a while but I don't think so. Even if it was possible I wouldn't want yet another layer of abstraction to compile to html.
it's not the graphical authoring environment that really matters. I just prefer the OOP style of AS3 to Javascript.
Open standards are great and all, but the result is that we've had to wait years just for html to catch up to where flash was.
