What do you think of it?

Fuckin-a, Adobe. You sit waste your time whining about Apple not supporting your shit and meanwhile some nerds figured out a way to get Flash running on the iPhone OS. Way to step it up.
- It's not flash though. It's Javascript and HTML 5 converted from a Flash file.Amicus
- Yeah, I know. And?monospaced
- it's only running till apple finds out, then they will cut the resources just like they did to adobeMiguex
- this point is pertinent, Adobe having doing f#@k all for yearsAncillary

i have to admit, that's some pretty impressive shit. someone has an immense amount of time on their hands (and probably a lot of job offers too right now).

Works on the iPad
But I won't be satisfied until someone successfully ports the entire 2Advanced website.

Really nice sluggish animations and transitions.
Animated gifs look smoother.

^ seriously? do you realize what kind of an achievement this is? does anything impress you?
- haters. what can you do.kpl
- agreed, Steve, some people are failing to see the significance of this stepmonospaced

Fucking banner ads, fuck flash

great achievement - but useless until it moves quicker than 3 fps.

We <3 Apple.
Now we can put more Ads onto their mobile experience... imagine all the people we can annoy!

"^ seriously? do you realize what kind of an achievement this is? does anything impress you?" &c.
It's a tech demo - program enough layers and you can get anything to 'work' on anything. If the end result is something that is functionally unusable, then it's a proof of concept for techwienies and nothing more.

^ Agree. It is one hell of a technical achievement

It is usable enough, from what I see. If you were to use it, you would be checking your swf against it so even if it has limitations, you could code your Flash with them in mind. It is not like it will be used with untested swfs I think (the dev needs to add smokescreen JS to the site I understand).

from the tech demo, it showed how they can convert flash to html5 to make an ad work without flash. Delivering what is comparable to the animated gif.

"if it has limitations, you could code your Flash with them in mind"
mm, i figured the point at which this'd be usable would the exact same point you may as well just use Canvas etc anyway.
Still, if it means that Flash can be used, all be it in a horrifically round-about way, to create 'HTML5' content, then this 'small step' might shunt Adobe into diversifying Flash's output options.
Someone's going to need to make a wysiwyg* Canvas/svg/JS animation editor sometime anyway.
.
* yes, I have just stepped out of the late 1980s.
- Technically, this makes Flash a JS/SVG compatible wysiwyg toolraf

Its performance issues aside, it's important to see the significance of this move. If Adobe wants ANY chance of having Flash content running on the iPhone OS, this is probably it, and somebody beat them to it. This step, albeit a small one, will keep Flash relevant. I'm hoping that over time--seeing as its completely open source--it will become more efficient. The end result could be Adobe clamoring to incorporate this into their Creative Suite with a buyout. We'll see.
