>> [_] Anon 2867203 nice loli
>> [_] Anon 2867204 >># I personally think so not because it is better per se but because I think that a lot of people wont bother learning flash in the future seeing as how it no longer is useful for regular websites that require smartphone compability
>> [_] Anon 2867205 >># >># How difficult would it be to make a program that converts HTML5 to Flash? This is coming from someone who knows nothing about either format
>> [_] Anon 2867207 >># >HTML5 why would we use that DRM piece of shit
>> [_] Anon 2867214 >># pretty hard, im guessing, and what would be the point of that? flash is not better
>> [_] Anon 2867277 >># >DRM >HTML5 Are you retarded?
>> [_] Anon 2867278 >># SHUT YOUR FUCKING PLEBE MOUTH FLASH IS CASH
>> [_] Anon 2867303 >># It doesn't matter which one is better, if the fact is that HTML5 will replace flash, we really should be able to convert.
>> [_] Anon 2867316 /f/ - HTML5/WebM Oh the humanity~
>> [_] Anon 2867321 >># Well not really. Their only real common feature is that they show up as pixels on a screen. Even then it would be exceedingly difficult to do certain flash things with html without cheating and using a Canvas element. They arent even the same kind of thing, HTML is typesetting adapted into the internet, and flash is an animation platform. You could convert from one to the other, but not without cheating or greatly misleading people with what you mean by 'converting'. >># > squinting_confusedly_at_retard.png

They both provide facilities for drawing primitives to a screen and are complemented by a virtual machine to run scripts and events. What makes the key difference is only a matter of commercial support. Flash CS6, for example, is just a fancy WYSIWYG that allows animators to do less programming and work with a medium they are comfortable in. Until recently, HTML5+Javascript didn't have that. Since Flash now has an HTML5 export option for practical applications and video output for animations the flash format has become fairly unimportant. >Using canvas is cheating No, that is there to compete with the likes of Flash. Same with WebGL.
