    There's no reason Flash couldn't be used, almost as-is, to output Flash-like animations using Canvas/SVG/CSS/JS/whatever. It'd be a bit harder to output all the complex tweening (etc) functionality, but as Stewdio's pointed out with the Processing JS library, not impossible.

    Just massively impractical!

    'HTML5' isn't proclaiming to be a complete Flash replacement - it just fills in the multimedia gap between it and existing expectations from HTML.

    I mean, it's ludicrous that we should have to rely on Flash (etc) to play a simple movie or create basic graphics on the fly.

    • What I mean is - there's no reason for there not to be an 'HTML5' authoring tool with timeline functionality.detritus
    • ..though that would be getting a little ahead of ourselves.detritus
    • WYSIWYG doesn't work well with HTML .. which is why dreamweaver was seen as such a clusterfuck.

    • Sure, I was thinking more like a Flash2.0 basic animation editor.detritus
    • yeah, I reckon tools could be produced to do specific things like animation with canvas
