Flash is dead. Or so it has been rumored for a couple of years and still ongoing (See this Discussion here). But I still do things in flash. I think it's still a better game making tool than many other alternatives. Starling + Flash also makes an awesome combination for Android, iOS and GPU powered web games. High Speed Road cross Flash…
