Should i take the courses with flash or should I look elsewhere for web devlopment colleges?
View 2 RepliesI'm just trying to understand how once HTML5 enters the picture, the current concerns about browser incompatibility and other issues go away? Wouldn't HTML5 simply add another set of browsers to the large list of current browsers that the application must target?
That is, assuming the enterprise web app requires one of these new HTML5 features (e.g. playing audio and/or video, integrating SVG or vector graphics, etc.). If such a feature isn't critical then graceful degradation may be acceptable and then my question is moot.
But for those apps that require one of these new HTML5 features, are you planning to support older browsers, or expecting it's acceptable to restrict to HTML5 browsers because the enterprise in question has made one of them their new corporate standard (or other scenario, etc.)?
This is an issue that I've run into over and over again, and it just drives me insane. Whenever I make a game which stays on one frame for a while (lots of dynamic objects are made, particle effects, bla bla), the framerate very very slowly starts to drag. After a few minutes, it's at about half what it started at, and it steadily drops until the game is unplayable.I use some variation of the following code to clean up dead movieclips:
Code:
e.currentTarget.visible=false;
e.currentTarget.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveThing);
e.currentTarget.parent.removeChild(e.currentTarget);
I guess I should mention that I do contain references to the movieclips in arrays, but I splice them out. Is that ok?I'm almost positive that somehow Flash is still keeping track of my old movie clips, even though I feel like I'm getting rid of them. Is there something wrong? Do I have to do some extra special magic to totally banish them forever? Please help. This has been driving me insane.
I've looked high and low for an answer to this and I'm hoping someone has an answer, or at least a tip on how to avoid it.I'm loading a static HTML file into a container via the jQuery load() method. This static HTML file has a script which loads a swf. When I load that particular file, I get the white screen of death (WSOD) and the page explodes and everyone in the room dies a horrible death.I've had this happen also when using the jQuery wrap methods (wrap, wrapOuter, etc.) when a swf is present.It seems manipulating the DOM with a container that has a swf object causes this. Does anyone have a solution or a way that I can prevent it happening?

View 2 RepliesWe have an ASP.NET 4 website that displays flash files. It has come to our attention that these are not fully supported on HTML5, and that they will not play on HTML5 platforms such as the iPad.So, in order to support such platforms, my thinking is that we need to try and display the video using the HTML5 <video> tag if the browser supports HTML5, or fall back to flash if it does not.However, it would seem that this requires our site to provide two video formats (flash format and video such as MP4). That presents problems because A), we need to store multiple video formats on the site, and B) our existing flash data will no longer work.Can anyone recommend information about the best way to support as many platforms as possible. And is there any way to do so without having to support multiple video formats?

View 1 RepliesI currently have a working Brightcove Smart Player implementation, with Flash as the default and an HTML5 fallback where Flash is not supported (read: iOS). I would like to reverse this: prefer HTML5 video, and use Flash as the fallback.Is this possible, and if so, how? Brightcove seems to have entirely missed the point of providing an HTML5 option by using it as the fallback instead of the preferred format.Additionally, although Brightcove announced plans to support WebM as well as H.264 18 months ago, it seems that the HTML5 player still only supports H.264. Firefox can't (and likely will never) support H.264 for patent (and, IMO, ideological) reasons. Firefox is used far too widel

how to easily convert a .SWF file to HTML5? I tried SWIFFy and that doesn't work.
I just downloaded adobe Wallaby and it requires a FLA file. That makes sense, but I don't know how to make the SWF file a FLA one so that I can see if Wallaby will in fact convert it.

I was wondering, if I have a proprietary flash code (e.g: some cool animation which is really just client side stuff, its just example), and about to rewrite it using HTML5, is it possible to hide the code? or at least make it harder to see (unlike right click, view source, then you can just copy paste the code).
View 2 RepliesI am creating a flash animation which has to be converted into Html 5. The reason for the conversion is the i-pad, so that my animation can run on i-pad or i-phone. I have tried using the WALLABY tool from adobe but haven't get the accurate animations. Though I have saw some adobe videos in which these people are perfectly running their flash animations through this WALLABY tool.

View 3 RepliesI told my boss to use HTML5 with a fallback on FLASH.But he said he wants FLASH as the first option, and if the browser (ipad or any other) can't recognize the FLASH , it should play the MP4 file we got. I suggested HTML5 with fallback on Flash. But he wants the opposite.
Using SWFObject (google it) and a SWF Controller (like FlashMediaPlayback.swf).It's very important to understand that the iPad has limitations with video size. So the MP4 file can't be bigger than 720p and 160kbps for audio.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to have a flash video, with fallback to the html5 video element for those browsers which don't support flash, such as iPhone. I'd also like to have valid html5. The issue I see is that in html5, object doesn't support the classid attribute anymore, but this would be required for a user to get flash if they don't have it but want it.
It seems my options are to accept invalid html5 but not have the flash work properly, or have the classid and not have valid html5.
I am trying to switch my doctype to HTML5 to play around with some of the new stuff, but I am running into an issue with flash.
The following code works ONLY when the doctype is set to PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN". When I switch it to just HTML, it works in chrome, doesn't work at all in Firefox, and renders a small crappy looking thing in IE9.

This is such a common thing that I imagine there must be a "good" way of cleanly embedding Flash into HTML5? I'm only interested in supporting the following browsers: FF3, FF4, IE7, IE8, IE9, Chrome and Safari.
I know there's some Javascript solutions like SWFObject, but that seems like overkill. Isn't there just a clean, quick and easy way using HTML?
Additionally: Is there any downside to just using <embed>? It was previously depreciated by the W3C, but I understand it's back in HTML5. So why not just use it instead of faffing around with <object>?
So now Adobe has pulled the plug on Mobile Flash and are pushing more for HTML5, and Silverlight has pulled the plug too, what's next for interactive video content. So if they die out (as they are currently trying to do) how do we access web cams (or even phone cams) on websites. The HTML5 Media Capture looks like it doesn't support streams only Files, so that could be out, is there any alternatives at the moment, or in the near future?

I'm trying to build a website that looks the same (or at least very similar) even with different resolutions. I know it's a pretty simple thing to do with Adobe Flash, but I'm kinda trying to get into the whole "HTML5 scene" so I thought I could try building it without using flash at all. I know I can resize the canvas to fit the window of the browser it's being viewed in, but can I also resize images, text and other HTML structures that I place inside the canvas? Like s, s, s or images?
