Thats a problem with Flash and you have a point here. For me the
tutorials are just another medium of pointing out how things work.
Jimmac made in the early days of GIMP 2.0 videos which where greatly
accepted by the users. Why not Flash as well? 

Is it, because Flash is a propriatory format? The licenses to create the
contributions are already paid, so why not use what we have to make
things easier for users?
