Re: [flexcoders] OpenGL vs DirectX / Vista vs. Flash Player 9 MS comments about Flash re Vista

[Robert Thompson]

Yeah, but can you make it integrated in Flash.I hate Director development.What sucks is that the new Sparkle Designer is awesome; and it's a damn shame to have to use anything Microsoft.  They've just done too many low-down things...I need to stop myself there.JesterXL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:         They did that in another product, Director, and it  runs hardware accelerated 3D on the web.   ----- Original Message -----  From: Robert Thompson  To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com  Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 6:54 AM Subject: [flexcoders] OpenGL vs DirectX / Vista vs. Flash Player 9  MS comments about Flash re Vista PRE-TEXT: Just  some encouragement.  You guys at Adobe are smart and I know you can put in  a DirectX like API that is perhaps a triggered add-on to the normal Flash  Player, something that says "This site includes high-end real time graphics; do  you want
 to download the OpenGL Flash Player support extension?"I  just saw a Video this morning after reading Dvorak's article that IE is now an  albatross due to their loss to Eolas in December and the 11th of this month  requiring a huge change to ActiveX control interaction.The video was a  cross link and discussed the lack of real 3D with texturing etc. (DirectX) in  Flash and a hint that "our technology you can't do on a browser".Well,  you can in an ActiveX control but now that's Screwed :-)So Vista WinFX  and the Macintosh "Viewer" (i.e. not designer app) will be this coming "Headon  Collision between Adobe and Microsoft".I just want to encourage the FLEX  and Flash 9 developers to try and bust Mickeysoft's bubble when it comes to the  fact that they are an old man who is slowly dying -- they will be kept alive for  a long time by their Cash Reserve which, some say has a lot of money in it  through dirty tricks -- but in the
 end, I believe Adobe will come out  ahead.Again, the FLEX group and FLASH group are full of very smart guys  enough so to put in a DirectX like API that is perhaps a triggered add-on to the  normal Flash Player, something that says "This site includes high-end real time  graphics; do you want to download the OpenGL Flash Player support  extension?"-r-r   Yahoo!
