Flash was great for a lot of things 10 years ago that you couldn&#x27;t to with HTML.<p>Custom fonts? -&gt; Flash<p>Sound? -&gt; Flash<p>Text Shadow? -&gt; Flash<p>Dynamically blur images? -&gt; Flash<p>3D? -&gt; Flash (well, more like Director&#x2F;Lingo back then)<p>it took some time to reinvent the wheel with HTML. Once in a while I come across an HTML page with a &quot;loading&quot; screen... oh wait most, lot&#x27;s of SPA do this… :)<p>(edit: formatting)
