When Adobe bought Macromedia, my hope was for the flash format to largely become a Zip file with SVG, JS and other assets as a package.

MS Silverlight was close, but too late as flash died and people stopped installing browser plugins.

Right there with you. I was a huge fan of AS3 and build some great client projects with it. When using types, it very closely resemble Typescript in a lot of ways. I was hoping for open standards and eventual direct browser integration.
