The best way to get the pulse for Flash is probably by comparing the number and quality of Flash projects received this year, with the ones received in the past years. Here’s what some of our oldest customers are saying, when asked about Flash projects:

I’ll be sure to contact you if I get any flash work (which I haven’t in a long long time though)Peder
(finding an available Flash Developer before the mobile boom) … but it was our final thing that made me decide never to take part in a flash project again.Peter
They want to completely rewrite the website from Flash, in html5.
I can continue with many examples from our best customers, but I’d rather not. If the market does not require any Flash work, I guess that’s when things will get worse for Flash Development in general – even if it keeps being used for writing games for the web, that’s not good enough to support as many Flash Developers as there are now.
What to do in this case? Don’t put all your eggs in a single basket. Start playing with Objective-C and Java. Mobile is the new kid in town. And if Flash survives, than you got multiple skills, and that’s only a good thing.
