Flash player vs Flash IDE

Article text: "The key value of the Flash player is that you go to content on the Web and it works. And we don't want to break anything."

And Yen replied: "Not exactly. Most of the time it works. Sometimes it fails miserably to work."

Sounds like you're assuming the problem is in the platform/player/vm. Flash is also a development environment, with an integrated language based on ECMA script. Having a development language means that people can write bad code in Flash just like they can write bad code in C, VB, or Java. So the problems you described on the site in question might have nothing to do with Flash or Macromedia and might have everything to do with the way the application was programmed. In fact, from what you have said about the skill-level of the developers in question, it sounds like this is more likely the case than not.
