HTML 5 is not a Flash replacement, yet.

Flash is not the best choice for video playback and a poor choice for a host of things that it is used for.

Flash evolved to what it is because Macromedia/Adobe were able to wrap a GUI around Actionscript so that designers with no scripting skills could build really bad, bloated crap with it.

Good Actionscript guys like MCA on this board can create great Flash content with not much more than a text editor.

Unfortunately the value of guys like him is devalued because someones neighbors cousins paperboy has a brother who has a copy of Adobe Flash and is willing to make you crap for $10 an hour.
