Open-Source JavaScript Flash Player (HTML5/SVG)

Posted by Soulskill on from the it's-called-gordon-get-it dept.

gbutler69 writes "Someone has gone and done it. Tobias Schneider has created a Flash player written in JavaScript targeting SVG/HTML5-capable browsers. It's not a complete implementation yet, but it shows real promise. A few demos have been posted online. How long before HTML5/SVG next-generation browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Epiphany, and other Web-Kit based browsers completely supplant Flash and Silverlight/Moonlight?"

    The language needs better ways of manipulating bits and bytes.

    A hidden canvas element?
