sortie

Well, I have experimented with HTML5.

Conclusion :

- from a programmers point of view, no advantage achieved except not having to
buy CS4.

- But then again you don't have to buy it now since there are very good programs
for only $50 that do all that CS4 does. There are even free programs that work well.

- The code needed to really maximize the features of HTML5 is almost identical to
Action Script!!!!!! .....so WTF is "easier" for the "non-programmer"?
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKing Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- I'll still have to do your HTML5 scripting instead of your flash scripting. So fucking fail!

- they make it sound like it's so smooth and easy but look at the script on that page
that actually makes the player do what you want. HTML5 should be named JS5!!!
As in javascript 5, since the power of it is in the commands that are embedded in the
javascript :

That's less code than I put in my flv players, but what does that do for you who
wants an easy interface to plug in your video? Nothing.

And you look at it and say "but I only have to add this code".
And I say you only need to add embed code for a flash video!

But, oh shit! You = "I'm actually in business and need something I can expand on and be
unique and competitive with, so just embedding some generic thing is not working".

So you are "back to square one" but with a new name...."HTML5".


Just pisses me off because I went into it thinking it might be faster than a browser
using the flash engine but it wasn't. It was no where even close to being as fast
as flash in my test. Hey; let me know if you found out different. Be glad to here it and
see how you did it.


All Hail to HTML5 for being a valid way to do things differently.
But All Fail to HTML5 for replacing anything that I needed.

This motherfucker failed hard on animation.


Code = Rotate image. LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Good luck to noobs on that one.
