Nice quick read, but this isn't a proper oral history of Flash.

I've chatted with a colleague who used to work at Macromedia, and she has some great stories.

Also any history of Flash which doesn't mention shockwave.com (or Princess[1]) is incomplete.

I'd love to hear an actual oral history of Flash. Your colleague's stories would likely be great. The Computer History Museum has archived some oral histories. There might be an opportunity there to have her recollections recorded.


Or mBED. But who's counting. Future Splash sold to Macromedia and it did become dominant.

Shockwave died pretty quickly after that.
