Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML

I second the GSAP proposal, and regarding point 3) I never had Haxe rebuild my 
HTML file, so I am wondering how this happened.

Since I told you I would show my tests with HTML5 vs Flash, here they are:

FLASH
http://www.benga.li/mcd/versailles/banner_de_chili_1600x490.html
HTML
http://www.benga.li/mcd/versailles/html5/royal.html

The only remaining Flash advantage lies on the size of the overall production. 
This was done using Haxe (for HTML5) and Haxe/Flash for Flash part.

 (the build).  Then, Haxe seems somewhat monolithic:  it's good for handling 
 the core interactive canvas area, but the HTML has to live in a separate

 good way to preserve custom HTML in the same file between builds.  Again, not 
 a show-stopper, but I find workflow quicker without the build, and editing 
 the HTML/JS directly.
 
 CreateJS seems to work well across all browsers I've tested on so far (with, 
 of course, the exception of IE8)... as did Haxe.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML

2014-08-08 Thread David Cohn

Hmmm... that's very strange re: the HTML file-- but it's definitely getting 
rebuilt during the build process.  Are you modifying the index.html file in the 
Export/html5/bin directory?  Anyway, as I said, this is the least important 
gripe...

I'll take a further look at greensock-- it look especially good for complex 
animation, whereas I often do complex interactions.  It doesn't seem as much 
directed towards mouse/touch detection/dragging for canvas elements (although 
it looks like tweaking Draggable may allow that)...

Thanks,

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML

2014-07-31 Thread David Cohn
@Cedric,

Finally got a chance to play around a bit with Haxe-- really looks promising!

I'm wondering how you approach combining HTML with the more complex Flash-style 
content-- do you compile your Haxe files and then add the appropriate div's etc 
into a separate HTML file?  I.e. it looks like Haxe is best used to embed 
(canvas) content, rather than for full page display?

If this is so, have you played around with multiple canvases on a single page?

...and thanks for lead!  I'm looking forward to investigating further...

 John,
 
 Flash HTML5 Canvas publishing uses createJS.  If, like me, you're using CS6 
 instead of doing the CC subscription route, there's a Toolkit for that as 
 well (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs.html).  I'm just beginning to look 
 at this, and additionally I have the luxury of starting with some simple 
 content.  I fear that if your content is very complex, especially time-based, 
 that it will be at best a publish-and-tweak scenario, with the tweaking being 
 arduous.  I also wonder about performance.  Check out 
 http://www.createjs.com/#!/CreateJS for more understanding of what's going on 
 under the hood.
 
 That having been said, tom 's mention of haxe looks interesting.  Have you 
 done any serious graphics with it, and does it perform well?  Does it use 
 OpenGL for vector rendering?  How about bitmap animation?  Is there a robust 
 actionScript exporter, or is it more of a re-implementation?
 
 Thanks,
 --Dave

 week bases). Just a ton of stuff going on and being tracked.

 Our clients TOO often hear create once and deploy everywhere. We are
 already ahead of the game delivering about a dozen apps/games on the three
 platforms. But I don’t see a way to do it on the fourth and then your
 forced to maintain two codebases of each game. That also sucks. :(

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML

2014-06-20 Thread David Cohn
John,

Flash HTML5 Canvas publishing uses createJS.  If, like me, you're using CS6 
instead of doing the CC subscription route, there's a Toolkit for that as well 
(http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs.html).  I'm just beginning to look at 
this, and additionally I have the luxury of starting with some simple content.  
I fear that if your content is very complex, especially time-based, that it 
will be at best a publish-and-tweak scenario, with the tweaking being arduous.  
I also wonder about performance.  Check out http://www.createjs.com/#!/CreateJS 
for more understanding of what's going on under the hood.

That having been said, tom 's mention of haxe looks interesting.  Have you done 
any serious graphics with it, and does it perform well?  Does it use OpenGL for 
vector rendering?  How about bitmap animation?  Is there a robust actionScript 
exporter, or is it more of a re-implementation?

Thanks,
--Dave

 Look at Haxe, www.haxe.org and in particular OpenFL lib (
 http://www.openfl.org/) to use with it, port your AS3 to Haxe (there are
 automated tools for this, but you'll probably still have to get your hands
 dirty) and from there you should be good with a few tweaks to compile with
 OpenFL to HTML5, iOS, Android and lots of other targets all from the same
 codebase.
 
 Seriously I've been using Haxe for years now, mostly to make programming
 server side and javascript much much easier coming from AS3. I've tapped
 prbably 5% of it's potential ;) It's awesome.

Hi Mike,

Not sure what you mean? I have a game that is written in AS3 and deployed via 
AIR to PC and MAC desktop, iPad’s and Android. Now my client wants to take it 
online, but I can’t use it as a Flash site, but then IOS and Android tablets 
won’t be able to access the app. So it will have to go to HTML5/CSS/jQuery. I’m 
just curious if there are any conversion tools to either automate that process 
or at least convert most of it and I’ll code the rest. 

Thanks,
John

I would really consider saying no to that request, and suggesting a rebuild
that uses modern web standards. There are a lot of web optimizations that I
would almost guarantee an export wouldn't consider... You'd definitely want
to be lazy loading a lot of those assets so the preloading is reasonable.
Ultimately, do you want to be refactoring and fixing AS3 code that Adobe
will hopefully support in the future, or dealing with loads of Javascript.
It's a tough choice :/

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash to HTML

2014-06-19 Thread Kerry Thompson
It doesn't sound that tough a choice to me. Adobe will support Flash for
years, for sure--it still supports Director, with regular Shlockwave
updates. Whether there will be a market for us coders is another question.
I have a job, with a real salary (I had to put the retirement thing on hold
when I found out how much I would have to pay in taxes for IRA withdrawals
and my wife still working), and there seem to be plenty of opportunities
around for the time being, but more and more companies are discontinuing
Flash development.

I agree that the code probably wouldn't be production quality, but I've
found taking somebody's code and optimizing it to be a great way to learn a
new language. And, of course, JavaScript isn't that tough--it's ECMA 5,
while AS3 is ECMA 3. There aren't a lot of surprises in JavaScript for a
seasoned AS programmer.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

The toughest choice for them is cost. This game was expensive and took about a 
year to build and then don’t want to shell out the same amount for a complete

It's wishful thinking that there is a magic button anywhere that is

I think Adobe are making strides in this area, but it's nowhere near 
what you need. If it was, Adobe would be blasting it from the rooftops.


I have seen a simple game built in Flash CC and generating 
HTML/Javascript but not a conversion from an existing codebase.

Howdy,

I know that and I’m sure most developers do too, but I promised the client I 
would do my best to look into it, before I give him the inevitable bad news. 
The assets are the problem as much as the extensive coding. This is a real-time 
simulation of living on your own for a year (52 weeks on a per week bases). 
Just a ton of stuff going on and being tracked. 

Our clients TOO often hear create once and deploy everywhere. We are already

Am not very sure about CSS, but, z-index = 1 is below z-index =2, isnt it?

So, from your CSS, I understand that flashcontentis definitely gonna be
below the html in 'izizu_div_content'.  Shouldn't 'flashcontent' have a
higher depth than the other layers?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash in HTML and the Object Embed tags ...

2006-04-04 Thread Stephen Ford
It's a flash movie that replaces the broken icon, not an image.
 
There's nothing else on the HTML page other than one flash movie.
 
Thanks if anyone can help.

Well, from my understanding, that image comes up as a place holder while 
the movie gets found and loaded.  Without  seeing what your movie is, or 
how the html page is set up, it isn't easy to know what might be wrong 
other than that.


You might want to put a loading page up to fill the space while the 
movie loads... could be a small graphic that lets people know there's 
actually something else coming or a loading bar so they'll know 
something is happening.


Good luck.
