From the report I have seen, html5 and flash will be as good as each
other on the same hardware (ie, not optimised).

Hopefully though they will get the security improved

You wouldn't see the security issues, until your machine is compromised.
As long as you are not running IE6, flash is probably the biggest
security risk on your computer.

Do what I do and use a browser that doesn't have the capability to
display it. If you come across a website that doesn't work without it,
stuff that website and its products and go to another supplier.

Wrong approach, I think.

Use a browser that can display Flash, but it you don't want to see Flash
movies then use a plugin that either blocks Flash entirely, or allows
you to stop them playing until you okay them.

Your approach is deliberately limiting, I think excessively so. Of
course it's your choice, but the alternative I'm suggesting gives you
more capabilities if you need them, at no cost.

Wow... all that hatred of Flash and nothing but text based websites...
it still exists?
Flash is a tool, if it works and is right for the message delivery and
the targeted audience... use it!

Back to my OP... the tools (apart from flash) used to create the
animation are... ?
