install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

David Heinemeier Hansson (creator of Ruby on Rails) actually surprised us all at the Canada on Rails conference it seems; he took the insanity about Rails to the next level giving a talk about having pride in being arrogant, not liking SOAP, yet using Flash in order to push data to the client.
This is his response to people playing down Rails and wanting it to go in different directions.

	f.svehla says: Rails does not uses Adobe Flash do put data to the client, it merely uses a facility it calls a "flash" to store to data temporary in a session. Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )

	blandname says: Sorry f.svehla, but he actually did mean Flash at the time, though things changed as it was implemented. Posted 13 months ago. ( permalink )
	Gabriel says: @blandname - Please explain further, the idea that Rails' flash would be implemented with Adobe Flash is hilariously nonsensical. Are you just pulling that out of your ass or are you actually talking about something else (eg. using Flash instead of AJAX)? Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )
	blandname says: Yeah, hilarious indeed. He was saying he would put data in a flash container... pretty sure he even said clip. Similar to what f.svehla said, but really in a Flash object. of course he was just thinking aloud, and nothing came of it... Posted 8 months ago. ( permalink )
