Flash and HTML5 ???

Hi everyone
Does anyone know if the iPad is going to have flash or html5 soon?
It's annoying how they can create and implement technology like this and yet I get frustrated when I want to go on a website and tells me I need flash.
Help!!!

1. The iPad has a bigger screen, I have an iPhone that is much more comfortable than something that is roughly half the size of the iPad/more than twice the size of the iPhone, flash is slow, drains battery, and hogs RAM
2. price is $1000 UNSUBSIDIZED. The iPad is $829 at most UNSUBSIDIZED. The high end iPad in the US also maxes out at 64GB while the highest end Tab maxes out at 34GB (after purchasing a separate 32GB SD card). So you get more for less with the iPad (storage wise).
3. The Tab is still yet to actually ship. I have had an iPad since April 30th.
4. Flash is fairly easy. I learned it in 8th grade. I have built several websites with it...about the same level of difficulty as building a website in MS Publisher... It costs a lot more to make an HTML5/CSS3 website than for a flash site due to all the coding involved.
5. The tools to secure an android device for enterprise are very limited.
6. Android 2.2 (aka Froyo) is not designed for tablets, nor are any of the apps in the official app market. (Google themselves have said this). The version optimized for tablets is 3.0 and is not due to be released until next year.
Now that all that has been said, google searches, or use of the search box on the right will turn up around 50 different threads for the iPad alone. People need to use those first...

  • Does iOS 7's Safari Convert Youtube Flash and HTML5 Videos to Quicktime? How Is it Playing?

    Hi. It's good to see Safari (I have iOS 7) playing videos on sites like Youtube. Is it converting Flash and HTML5 to Quicktime or is the video playing because it's only using HTML5? How does Safari go about playing Youtube and Flash videos? Apple has solved the Flash for mobile problem then?
    Thank you. Have a great upcoming sunday mass/ great week.
    God bless.

    there is no flash for mobile problem since adobe has discontinued flash for any mobile device.
    Safari is not converting anything.
    HTML5 facilitates streaming video in a format that ios devices can natively play(mp4).
    Youtube/google is putting stuff up in html5.

  • Flash and HTML5 on PB G4?

    I was recently in another thread and people were saying that they had really good speed on their PB on youtube, web browsing, and itunes performance. I have a very different experience! I'm running a 15" 1.67ghz 2GB Ram PB G4, literally the top of the line, fully loaded but it is horribly slow! I used to have a 1.25 ghz iMac G4 and it was way faster than this which I just contributed to a laptop versus a desktop.
    Anyway, what can I do to increase speed. I've done a fresh install of Leopard which didn't seem to help. Would it do me any good to downgrade to Tiger? Also on youtube is it better run in HTML5 or in flash? Currently I have to wait for all the flash adds to load (and if it is a video like add wait for it to quit moving) before the youtube video will play without stutter and it is very common for safari to crash on youtube!
    It's maddening if this is just me because others seem to have better luck! What can I do?
    Also where is the download for the latest available flash player? This is where I downloaded from and I'm running 10.2   http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

    Hi, HTML5 breathes new life into the PowerPC based machines.. at least for me it does.. and I own a G5 Quad, and Hi-res PB G4 1.67 with an SSD drive which is NOT legacy ssd. I can send you later on today or tomorrow a hacked flash 10.3 or 10.2 which will work on PPC macs, if you like.
    Also, an alternative instead of Youtube directly, download MacTubes which I find plays much better anyway. Just do a google search for it.

  • HTTP Live streaming test in Flash Player, HTML5 player, iphone, android and other smart phones.

    Hi,
    Can anyone please tell me how can I play http live streaming from FMLE 3.2 to Flash player, iphone, ipdad, HTML5 player, Android and other devices?
    I have tried my best to play live streaming usine FMLE 3.2 with help of "http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html" but not able to play video using HTTP.
    When I tried to play url-  "http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" even in in Strobe Media Player it was showing "Buffering" that's it. But I can play same RTMP URL in Flash AS3 using the netstream very fine.
    Now I want to test the livepkgr content via HTTP to Flash Player, HTML5 Player (on Web browser and smartphones), iphone and other devices.
    Thanks
    Best regards,

    Hi Sunil,
    It's difficult to debug an issue when you don't have access to the machine and you can't see what's happening, so I request you to please have a little patience.
    For playback just check the following steps and make sure if you have followed them :
    1) Delete the streams folder and any .stream file in the livepkgr
    2) Restart FMS
    3) Make sure you have a crossdomain.xml under root_install/webroot
    4) Publish a stream from FMLE as 'livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent'
    5) Use this player to playback the stream : http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.html?src=http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
    If there is no playback, here are some checks you can do :
    1) Request for the http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m in your browser. You should receive an xml that looks something like this :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
         <manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
              <id>livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent</id>
                      <mimeType />
              <streamType>live</streamType>
              <duration>0</duration>
              <bootstrapInfo profile="named" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.bootstrap" id="bootstrap7158" />
              <media streamId="livestream" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream" bootstrapInfoId="bootstrap7158">  
                          <metadata>AgAKb25NZXRhRGF0YQgAAAAAAAhkdXJhdGlvbgBAJUUeuFHrhQAFd2lkdGgAQHQAAAAAAA=</m etadata>
                </media>
    </manifest>
    2) Check the access log under Apache to see if the .f4m, .bootstrap and Frag files have been requested and delivered. If a particular entry has a status code of 200 then the file has been served by FMS. You can confirm the same on the client side using a software like fiddler.
    Coming to the player issue, a playback of *f4v via the vod directive is a progressive download, whereas playback of an *f4m file via hds-vod is HTTP streaming. 
    I have personally used Spark VideoPlayer and hence suggested the same.
    You need to add a component like :
    <s:VideoPlayer width="100%" height="30%" chromeColor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000"
                     fontSize="12"
                     source="http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m"
                        symbolColor="#000000"/>
    Let me know if any of these suggestions help.
    Thanks,

  • How to Create a trigger code for turning on light bulbs in flash and animate images professional cs6

    hi,
        i designed a very interactive music website in illustrator and photoshop and i am trying to animate the main page design in flash professional and eventually publish it as HTML5. There are couple of questions i need to ask before starting
    1) should i import my design in differnet layers from illustrator into flash professional in order to make it easier to isolate and animate specific parts of the web page?
    2) i want to have a roll over effect that allows certain features in the page to turn on and off when the mouse hovers over them. can you explain how to do that? any tutorial videos i could follow
    3) what format should i use when importing my illustrator design into flash professional
    4) how should i animate the content pop out from the safe box into the main screen in flash professional (i have never used this program before, so i will be going off video tutorials and whatever suggestions/help you would have)
    **The idea is to have a content frame fly out of the safe into the screen (the size will increase rapidly and it will fade into the screen as well while rotating 360 degrees for one revolution). The content is a basic rectangular frame i designed in illustrator. The body of this frame will be transparent allowing me to embed the main page features into it eg music, videos, bio etc. All this will be done in the later process, the main issue is figuring out how to animate the content frame into the screen and also creating a click feature that allows the content to fly back into the safe and then the safe closing in.
    Secondly, the trigger code rollover effect that allows certain features light to turn on when the mouse hovers over it and turn over when its not.****

    I think you'll get most flexibility by turning on the feature that lets you keep your Illustrator layers as Flash layers. You'll also want to check the box that lets you make an Illustrator object into a MovieClip for anything that you want to interact with or address through code.
    Add an event listener for MOUSE_OVER that triggers whatever functions you need to create to turn on the features. This means that your object that you will mouse over will need to be a MC, as well as any other objects that will be addressed (for example, calling play()) will need to be a MC. You'll want to have a matching MOUSE_OUT handler that stops MC's, hides them, or whatever.
    You should probably organize your Illustrator file so that the objects you need to address are on their own layers. This includes nested objects. Name things informatively. Remember, if the first import doesn't give you exactly what you want, you don't have to save the change--you can edit your settings or the Illustrator file and try again.
    Look into motion tweens. I highly recommend the books "How to Cheat at Flash" and "Animation with Scripting." I don't really think the way they tell you to script will advance your career if you want to be a software architect, but if you just want to animate the occasional widget, it's fine.

  • My iBook Flash and Youtube Tips!

    Welcome!
    I noticed that a lot of people are having problems with Youtube/Adobe Flash, and I have managed to get it working at a fairly decent speed by doing the following things. This thread is just for the tips that I have gathered, and those of anyone who has something to contribute or say. So, here is what I have found.
    Youtube:
    For Youtube videos, I have found that using html5 really helps playback.
    To enable it, go to this address in Safari:
    http://www.youtube.com/html5
    (It will not work in any other browser at this point in time) and click "Join the HTML5 trial" at the bottom of the page.
    Only some videos (those without ads) will work in this trial now, but you will notice how much more smoothly and how much more quickly the videos load in the trial.
    Another option is a Youtube video downloader like MacTubes, available here:
    http://download.cnet.com/MacTubes/3000-2139_4-204278.html
    Flash:
    The best way I have found to use flash is a Browser developed by Mozilla, called Camino (Developed by the Firefox people at Mozilla, but only for Mac. You can go into preferences and disable flash entirely (you can view the flash item by clicking the little icon in the middle of it).
    You can also block webpage ads which speeds up webpage loading a TON!
    Get Camino here:

    Thanks for reading, and I hope that this helps!

  • Flash content flashing and crashing mac

    Hello,
    Since the latest FF and Flash update (37 and 17) I can't watch any videos or flash content - like (annoying ad) banners. Everything literally FLASHES. Like a strobe light. Then videos get stuck, the cursor jumps/freezes, sound stutters and eventually mac crashes (panic). The fans are constantly hyperventilating but nothing weird is running in activity monitor.
    I have:
    * Uninstalled and reinstalled flash; same for Firefox; cleaned flash cache - nothing
    * I only have flash, java and QuickTime plugins installed
    * Downgraded flash to previous version (16) - better, no flashes, but still stutters and crashes after watching video for 10-15 minutes most (sometimes not even that)
    * Tried to watch using VPN but after a while graphics and sound go crazy
    * Decided to upgrade again to flash 17. Now it flashes again and I can't watch videos for even 1 minute.
    * Tried the about:config media.mediasource.enabled (change to true); dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode (change to false); Firefox "get info" open with 32-bit mode; - nothing worked
    What can I do? Any idea?
    Thanks

    mms.cfg = Flash Player
    Go to your plugins page. Set everything video to '''Ask.'''
    You could try disabling Flash plugin's protected mode. The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new hidden setting for this:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the search box above the list, type or paste flash and pause while the list is filtered
    (C) Double-click the dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode preference to switch its value from false to true.
    This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.
    1) Enter the config by typing about:config in the address bar.
    2) Enter media.mediasource.webm.enabled and press enter.
    3) Right click on it and change to true, for some reason it is set as "false" which makes MSE & WebM VP9 not work properly.
    4) Visit: https://www.youtube.com/html5 and check that everything is OK.
    5) Try to watch a video. It should work now.

  • Exporting flash cc html5 animation to edge animate

    I want to create an interactive animation for PC, cellphones tablets etc. Since most cellphones do not support flash I decided to do this in HTML5. Flash cc supports html5 canvas but the response time of the simple buttons I created is just awful and buggy. After researching I found out that everyone suggest Edge for html5 content. My problem is in edge I do not have any brush or pen tools which I need for my animations. So I would have to create vector animations in flash and export them to edge. I have found absolutely nothing to do this. I can either export as swf which the majority of cellphones do not support or videos that are non vector or non vector image sequences. I can publish flash cc html5 canvas as html/js but I cant Import it to edge. Am I missing something or why isn't this possible?

    Hi Alhab
    One way to do this is, exporting your content from Flash to Edge Animate as sprite sheets. The following discussion might help you to bring your content from Flash to Animate.

  • Can you use html text in flash cc html5 project type?

    I'm attempting to dynamically change font color of various words inside a dynamic text field.
    I have tried both these lines of code below. have you dont this can you correct my code please?
    I'm using flash cc and html5 project type. This was possible in previous versions of flash.
    this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText = "<font color='#000000' size='-1'>"+MyGreatNumber+" "+"</font><BR>"+this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText;
    this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText = "<p style="color:#ff0000">"+MyGreatNumber+"</p><br>"+this.Logger.Log_File.htmlText;

    from the easeljs docs: Please note that Text does not support HTML text, and can only display one font style at a time. To use multiple font styles, you will need to create multiple text instances, and position them manually.
    to resolve, edit text in the js file where it's relatively easy to even use rtl text.

  • Javascript, Flash and Bookmarks

    We are using Captivate 8 to create our courses.  On slide 3 through 12 I have one web object per slide which brings up a web page containing a streaming video player that points at a video hosting company that we rent space on.  Our website is hosting the HTML containing the steaming video player used for each slide.
    On each of these slides (3 through 12) I have some JavaScript (upon page load) which is trying to set the suspend data and making sure that the current slide is being bookmarked.  I have tried calling the suspend data call and even the set Bookmark call and both have the same results:  Nothing happens.
    I am testing it out on a PC running Flash and am using Fiddler to watch the transactions.  Once the videos have started (starting on slide 3), I do not detect any activity to update the bookmark information going back to our LMS.
    Once the student is past all of the slides containing the video web objects, then the bookmarking seems to start working correctly again.
    It appears that Captivate is converting the slides to a Flash Movie with iframes used to display the video itself.  But it appears that while the flash movie is playing the slides with the videos, no communication goes on between the course and the LMS.
    The videos on each slide is only about 5 to 10 minute long.
    We are having more and more students who get somewhere past the 3rd video slide and then their session times out for some reason (usually inactivity) but when they attempt to restart the course, they taken back to the first video slide again.
    We are not ready to go exclusively HTML5, so I need our bookmarking to work with the Flash-version of our course.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have used 2 different approaches and neither one seems to work.

      try {
      this.currSetExitResult = SCORM2004_CallSetValue("cmi.exit", SCORM2004_SUSPEND);
      if (this.showConsoleLogs == 'yes') {
      console.log("Result is type of " + typeof this.currSetExitResult);
      console.log("Set Exit to Susspend worked =  " + this.currSetExitResult);
      if (this.currSetExitResult || this.currSetExitResult == 'true' ) {

      if (this.showConsoleLogs == 'yes') {
      console.log("The Catch of the try-catch feature was activated");
      KeepItActive.checkComms();

  • Flash To HTML5

    Can adobe flash CS6 export Project to HTML5?
    Giorgi Siphrashvili
    [personal info removed]

    AS2 will look a bit more 'foreign' than the AS3 code, if you're just porting it straight across.  The CreateJS libraries look a little more like the AS3 classes, but are very different to either AS2 or AS3.
    AS3 can almost, sort-of work, if you strip all of the type safety off, and translate the classes. 
    If it was all just 'stop' and 'gotoAndPlay' kinds of junk in the frames, you actually get off lucky; you can write the AS code, then write the JS code in the same boxes.  It's still awful, but it's less awful than doing bigger projects.
    import flash.media.*
    /* js
    var anim_main=this;
    this.title_loop=createjs.Sound.play("Title_Music",'none',0,0,1001);
    anim_main.stop();
    anim_main.bNext.onClick= continue_prank;
    anim_main.bPlayAgain.onClick= continue_prank;
    function continue_prank(e)
              anim_main.play();
    var title_loop:SoundChannel = (new Title_Music()).play(0,1001);
    stop();
    bNext.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, continue_prank );
    bPlayAgain.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, continue_prank );
    function continue_prank(e:Event):void
              play();
    But either way, it's the identical task of taking things that are made to work with Flash, and 'fix them' for the CreateJS libraries.

    Hi
    The graphic which you posted seems to be non-interactive flash content which draws an animated graph when the user plays it.
    Since it's non-interactive, one solution, which works on mobile devices as wekk is to convert yoru flash content to video, then use the HTML5 <video> tag to embed the video in a webpage.
    With this solution, your animated content will be visible on all popular HTML 5 devices / mobile devices.
    If this solution interests you, try out FLABACO (www.Flash-Banner-Converter.com).  It's a Free, online Flash (SWF) to video converter which generates great quality video.
    Flabaco supports action script, maintains the frame rate (fps) and is capable of handling professional HD content.
    The only thing you need to ensure is that the flash content auto-plays as soon as it is loaded.  (autoplay / autostart.)
    Let me know if you need any help.

  • Does ipad 3 support adobe flash and other various video formats?

    does ipad 3 support adobe flash and other various video formats? Thanks/////!

    Flash is not a video format. Flash is a platform that consists of a scripting language, and plug-in or application that presents a canvas and resources to run the scripts. It is possible for Flash to load video and play them in the canvas, but the video itself is a separate resource. Flash became a popular mechanism for video plaback mostly because the plugin was available for multiple browsers and the video codecs that Flash could load were consistent across multiple platforms, which made coding easier. It also made it simpler to add advertising overlays (especially before CSS3), and it was also a popular mechanism to distribute viruses.
    In November of 2011, Adobe stopped development of and licensing of the use of Flash on mobile platforms, citing that HTML5 makes the primary uses for Flash obsolete. There is no version of Flash for iOS, or new or future versions of Android.
    Adobe further indicated that they will be phasing out Flash plug-in support as well (such as the plugins used in Desktop web browsers), instead aiming to make Flash applications stand-along applications running on the desktop. No time table for that has been set, though they've just recently phased out Linux development. However, Flash is being actively developer for native applications and Adobe makes Flash Builder and AIR that allow you to make native applications for iOS and Android using the Flash development tools.
    With regard to video formats... iOS natively supports MPEG-4 and various profiles thereof, and it supports the use of the HTML5 <video> tag to embed video in pages and in applications that leverage the WebKit environment to implement their UI. There are also apps that display other video formats.

  • My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

    My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?
