"Delivering what is comparable to the animated gif"
indeed. because as we all know animated gifs are both accessible and SEO indexable.

^ Whoa there, mr.. "My ad has mucho-information that people would want to search for".
Why would you want to index a Flash ad's tag line, slogan, pick-up line bringing irrelevancy to the page that it is on in the first place?
- If you think this is only for ads, you're horribly mistaken. I think he's talking about Flash content in general.monospaced
- sadly smokescreen is focusing on the money network of ads...********
- not flash content in general... the demos they provide are for ads********
- because they're eager to cash in, who can blame them?raf
- They chose ads because they're the least demanding! They aren't going to tackle games, ffs. READ!monospaced

This is probably done by the dude on the video, maybe with a roommate. If Adobe hasn't had this technology for years, they're completely backwards. I hope they have, only didn't want to release it.
Next, garage geniuses, I would love a web comping photoshop killer tool please.

I do not recall mentioning anything about an ad.
Sure, that's a use for it and maybe they are pushing it's relevancy to that because they like money and want to get paid.
That does not diminish the fact that they have made an important technical discovery and maybe, just maybe Adobe or another company will sit down with them and come up with a way to refine it and make something that is a viable way to play Flash content without the need for a flash player.

They reason they're focusing on ads is mostly because they are everywhere, and they are relatively small (not a 2advanced site, for example).
If they went all-out supporting the conversion of complex Flash, they wouldn't get anywhere. A side effect is that there is money involved in the ads.

i shall give the boffins a thumbs up when I see video and games running.

they'll get this thing working smoother and more efficiently over time. if i were the one to have developed this i would be showing the world this early too for bragging rights and to make sure nobody beats me to it.
i'm sure adobe is holding meetings right now on the viability of bringing this guy in for some serious talks about partnerships as this could be the one key to getting their code on the ipad/iphone.

Forget Apple ... here a real open mind OS for smartphones:
Adobe AIR for Android OS, Native apps (.apk)

How come this guy gets zero credit, looks like he pulled off the same thing a few months ago?

He should have built a cooler site

God, all this desperate clutching at straws. This is not necessarily good news for Adobe or Flash. Adobe have always had an advantage because only their players could be guaranteed to replay Flash content (however inefficiently).
Now a translator exists, it opens the way to 3rd party Flash generators. Now the proof of concept exists, it opens the way to other generation systems, which would almost certainly produce a better translated end result than Flash. So, no this is lose-lose for Adobe.
Adobe's only rational response is to buy this out and shut it down.
- ukit0
Actually, they allow third party players and have for a while so I don't think it's much of an issue.
The only thing that prevented any of them from gaining traction in the past is that there was absolutely no reason to use them over Adobe's:)
- I said *guaranteed*, 3rd party players can be flaky. Alternatives to Flash is the big deal here.comicsans

@comicsans
adobe doesn't make money off their runtime. they make their money on the flash authoring tool/ide. if it can be created outside of a plug-in technology, that would be a HUGE win for them. they could still sell their flash authoring tool, developers could continue writing as3 and designers could continue creating vector-based animations and related content.this is actually a win for everyone if you think about it.
- "a win"????

JS is coming of age, huh?
Check this out, a JS barcode scanner that "uses canvas to read the pixels from an image, and prints out the UPC code that the barcode represents."

Here's another crazy one - music notation rendered via JS and CANVAS.

Pulled both of those from the Gordon developer's blog.
- SteveJobs0
also these js runtimes are just alternatives. it will be several years before they can compete with what a browser plug-in can do with regards to hardware accelleration, multi-threading, peripheral device input, and things like that. when you write one of these plug-ins (which i have), you pretty much have full access to the os's api, so you're not constrained to the limitations of a client-side scripting technology.

It's cool tech for sure...
... but it's lame someone even had to come up with it... ... how 'bout Mr. Jobs get his shit together so flash runs clean on a mac product?... ... again - windows xp (old laptop I pulled out the other day)... 32 bit system.... ... flash looks BEAUTIFUL.
... and the players seems to run well on other mobile devices...
- Puhleease, don't make this Apple's responsibility. It really is Adobe's job to keep up with the times.monospaced
