I dunno, WebGL and other open browser standards have come a long way and do things now that I don't think were ever possible in Flash.

When done right (for example: http://awards.paris/new-micra-experience/ ) 3D in the browser can be impressive.

Flash had a 3D API (Stage3D) seven years ago, which was quite similar to WebGL. It wasn't used much, because Flash was already on its way out.

I remember seeing 3D in Flash, but it never had the equivalent performance of WebGL..

Although maybe that's just a result of computing power and GPU progress..

Also WebGL has been around at least that long, if not longer..
