Re: [Swftools-common] Swftools, PDF and HTML5

[filip sound]

thats an interesting point. open source flash would be unbeatable.
i was thinking a lot about what steve jobs wrote in his letter about flash ... now its just nonsense to me because flash on the iPad would result in native apps and html5 "apps" would run in the safari browser (web view) which is not native on the cpu but interpreted by the browser ... so this is absolute bullshit. its just that he dont want to let developers work with other systems than apple. thats all. 

html5 is in no way comparable to flash - i have to state that again. html5 is interpreted by the browser and flash is a plugin that natively runs on the cpu (just like any plugin, for example "quake live" - which has full access to the cpu) ... this hype is about nothing. and who wants to make big projects where everyone is be able to read the sourcecode of ???

maybe i'm a hardliner but in this case i just can't see what it's all about,

Yep, I don't like the idea of having all the document in a very long page. And sometimes I don't like the idea of text being easily copied. I believe that this move was caused by the iPad. I'm usually in favor of W3C standards, if they were correctly implemented by every browser. I think this situation will force Adobe to make Flash an open source technology.
