It was first in the cascade with the newer HTML5 as fallbacks. Hell, Netflix is still using Silverlight -- Microsoft's Flash "killer app"

We still detect flash = 0,1 and will offer flash were available for now. Flash is still smoother than HLS for streaming live video -- the tween makes the difference.

However, there are new HTML5 streaming technologies coming out shortly -- their will be a major shake out soon

"flash" from the GFY no-so-wayback machine -- anybody want to eat their words?
