Adobe Flash CS5 Exports Animations To HTML5 Canvas

Posted by timothy on from the take-this-jobs-and-shove-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Adobe's Flash CS5 will seek to make the Flash runtime less relevant with support for exporting animations to HTML5 canvas. Seth Weintraub from 9to5mac writes, 'In a previous post, I'd wondered why Adobe didn't spend its time building HTML5 authoring tools rather than putting so much time/energy/money into its Flash -> iPhone Apps exporter tool for Flash CS5. As it turns out, Adobe does have some, albeit rudimentary, HTML5 Canvas exporting tools, as demonstrated in the video above.'"

    What does this mean for Flashblock and Flash cookies?

    What a strange question. It seems about as relevant as asking what this means for Flashdance.

    Or rather, can't view TF video - FlashBlock prevented it.
