TL;DR — The first paragraph is about dissatisfaction with Adobe.
The second paragraph is about two issues... frustration with HTML5 and perhaps a custom cursor. Although, I'm not sure if she wants her project to have a custom cursor or Hype to have a custom cursor.
If it's a custom cursor for her project, there was a lot of discussion about that here... Make my cursor an image when user hovers over an icon
The early days of the Internet were easier. Flash was easy to use and it was way ahead of its time. Hype is very good, but it's not exact replacement for Flash. Even after 10 years, I still miss Flash.
