Hi Riya,

There is no doubt that when it comes to presentations, graphics and attraction then Flash is better choice as its graphics are much clear and attractive but when it is concerned about SEO, Google tracking/listing then you need to go with HTML 5.
If you are concerned with normal comparison then both have some advantages and disadvantages different from the other one. I would suggest you to read a post at readwritewebdotcom 'Does HTML5 Really Beat Flash? The Surprising Results of New Tests'. I am sure you will find you answer.

Thanks

flash is something and html5 is totally different

flash can build very powerful websites without even using html/css/php 1 line code

that because flash designing have its own programming languages (ActionScript)

but html5 is just new generation of markup languages gives you more tools/power/time saving to design same web pages in the paste but with more features

thats it, Good Luck

If you don't need to care about SEO, Flash could be your option at the moment as not many browsers support HTML5 yet!

They're completely different.

I can't stand Flash though (slow, sometimes crashes my browser, etc), so I'll go for HTML 5.

HTML5 is better. Never use flash for a website because Google can't locate it. If you want some animations, use JQuery

flash images take a long time to load when you open a site. visitors leave immediately if they lose patience waiting.

When you concern to the attractiveness of your site, then flash is better. But for the concern of SEO rankings, you will have to turn for HTML5.

Use HTML if you want to your site to be ranked in search engines. And you can use flash if you just want to make a website for yourself to make something flashy to eyes.

Hands down without a doubt HTML 5. Flash is absolutely nowhere near HTML 5. Also google can't read it as mentioned above which is a sole reason in itself why not to use flash.

For a website, certainly HTML5, however if you're talking videos, Flash still has a hand.

My company uses a lot of long videos and we use flash where possible because they are a lot smaller than the HTML5 mp4. The flash vids load faster and don't have buffering issues. On Apple devices the vids must fully load to begin playing, and that can cause confusion to customers who think the video is broken--no, it just hasn't loaded yet...

Our solution is to use a player that detects the device type and then serves the right one, Flash for computers and HTML5 for idevices.

Thanks

For better SEO prospects HTML5 is very much recommended. but if you care only about looks and innovation flash will come handy. Flash has numerous facilities and innovative functionality to make the animations really good. Also we cannot just write off flash sites, i think there are sites built completely on flash and does really well in SEO (sites of famous Brands).

You better ask yourself who is your target client. Apple doesn't like flash. Flash won't work on iphone, ipad and... So, if you are targeting those users, you better consider HTML5. Flash consumes a lot of CPU power (based on your graphic or animation), which consumes battery.

They do some test on it but it weren't scientific completely, they just did find that HTML5 clearly performed than Flash in Safari on a Mac but the differences were less clear cut in Google Chrome or Firefox.
