I created a World Cup version of Robby Macdonell's NHL HTML 5 piece

I copied almost all of his code, used data from wikipedia, created a new sprite, learned a lot, at it took me a while.

With the advent of things like smokescreen and the widespread usage of ie 6,7,8,9?, i wonder if this is not still worth doing in flash/actionscript for the forseable future.

hmm looks like i added the comment incorrectly. anyway I just wanted to share that while i learned a lot doing this, i wonder whether it still just makes sense to do things like this in flash as ie usage is around 70 to 98% for all the sites i track (usa and international).
