No. Macromedia Flash and HTML fulfill two different roles and HTML will be the dominant model for web interaction for the foreseeable future. However, while HTML is an excellent language for sharing documents, it is not well-suited to complex user interaction. Technologies like JavaScript and DHTML do not work reliably across browsers and platforms. The ubiquitous Macromedia Flash Player handles user interaction on the client smoothly, easily, and predictably across a wide variety of platforms and browsers.
