It's not abandoned, it has transformed into Adobe Flex which is the industry leader in RIA development at the moment. BTW with Flex 4.5 you can create Desktop applications that will run on Mac, Win and Linux, web applications that will run exactly the same on all known browsers and systems, as well as apps for Android, iOS and Blackberry playbook (or whatever it's called). While with HTML5 you need to adjust your code to every browser, which is why HTML5 is years behind Flash engine.
