Adobe is gearing up to release CS5 to the public, and during their presentation showed off a new tool that will export Flash animations into HTML5 Canvas.
Flash CS5 will allow for Flash developers to export their old and new animations directly into HTML5 Canvas code to paste onto their websites. This will enable users with HTML5 supported browsers to experience Flash animations without the need for Flash installed.
With Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 in the works, supporting HTML5, all the top browsers now support the HTML5 Canvas code. Developers will now be able to get their flash animations and websites to work on any browser, without the need for Flash to be installed.

This is pretty great. Not only the speed of HTML5 but them there iDevices can work with it (I would assume perfectly). Great work Adobe.
Sweet!
Cool
That is really awesome that means Adobe isn't being a douche and trying to kill HTML5.
Now, just gotta hope it isn't horribly unoptimized and dirty code :v:
Damn. That's awesome Adobe.

This.
I wouldn't expect anything less from CS5, HTML5 is becoming standard. It's a shame Firefox hasn't integrated the support for it yet.

There is a reason behind it though, I've just forgotten where my source was.
But it involved Mozilla actually getting some licences to intergrate codecs into the browser (or something along those lines) and they are trying to fight that.
I can't wait to be unable to stop lovely ads making weird noises whenever I move my mouse over some dude's nose.

Figures it would be something as retarded as licensing, holding back an important web standard feature. Thanks mucho for the info! :smile: :h:

Happy reading :)
Surprised about this, but it's great to see Adobe supporting HTML5.
Rather than being all proprietary like Apple, Adobe are actually supporting other formats.
So this means that Apple products lack of Flash support wont even matter anymore right?
And to think, Steve Jobs was saying shit about Adobe.
I'm glad that Adobe's not being a TOTAL douche about this.
Adobe +1 for good sportsmanship.
So Flash CS5 should be able to both export as HTML5 *AND* iPhone formats? That's pretty awesome.

Maybe not the iPhone thing anymore but hey we will see.
Also it is funny. Steve jobs was talking about iads Thursday and how it supported HTML5 and when he said that you could see he was poking fun at adobe for it. But now the tables have turned.
While this is great news indeed, I don't get why you think this goes against Adobe's Flash. They actually profit from this. The flash player itself is free, so if it doesn't get used as much anymore doesn't matter. They make all the money with Flash CS5 getting sold and it will probably have a positive effect on sales since you can now use to make HTML5 animations too.
You are all mocking Apple because Adobe are playing into exactly what Apple wanted in the first place. This is just Adobe planning for a flashless future since people are beginning to diverge from flash for general web content
It won't be missed.
About damn time, even Adobe can see that this a grave that needs to be dug now. :D

The only HTML5 not integrated into firefox yet is it's lack of support for the codec used by youtube's implementation.
I used HTML5 on cinematic facepunch to embed the music, and it plays perfectly in firefox.

I don't really think Apple wants thousands of free games available on the web, a lot of the stuff in the app store can easily be replaced with something flash.
This sounds pretty sick. Will make me more interested in getting a portable device which supports HTML5.

It was a douchebag move to do it like that though.

True, but you have to start somewhere I suppose.

Apple didn't even want apps for iPhone in the first place. It was always supposed to be web content which is why Mobile Safari was designed to be as powerful as it is. Granted the App Store has turned into a massive cash cow for them, but they planned for free content on the iPhone before, and I'm sure they could go back to it again if there is an app to web exodus

Given how Adobe have treated Apple in the past I can't really blame them for extracting some revenge at last

Specially with a single egomaniac at the helm of the company
I really don't think there will be a flash-less future. HTML5 is nice but Flash will remain, it's still a widely used in the industry.

You forget mozilla also only integrate things that they think will be lasting for a long time as well as the licensing, wouldn't be a surprise if they are the last to support HTML5 fully.
Also this is a epic move by Adobe, canvas is really gonna show its colours in the next few years, I mean it can already be [url=http://blackrose.reager.org/banana/]twisted with javascript[/url] so this could pull off some nicer effects.

When youtube fully implements html5 I probably won't be missing it.
I'm already not particularly missing quicktime, and that used to be essential.

When was QT essential?
Back when .mov/sorenson was the de facto video format on the webs I think.
