Flash IDE Can Now Reach Non-Flash Targets (Including Open Source)

lars_doucet (2853771) writes Flash CC now has an SDK for creating custom project file formats; this lets you use the Flash IDE to prepare and publish content for (not-the-flash-player) compile targets. Among these new platforms is OpenFL, a fully open-source re-implementation of the Flash API that exports to Javascript and C++ (no Flash Player!), among other targets: When Adobe demoed the custom project feature at Adobe MAX the other night, they brought out Joshua Granick (lead maintainer of OpenFL) to show off a custom OpenFL project format that lets you make Flash Art in Flash CC, then compile it out to Flash, HTML5, and native C++ (desktop+mobile) targets. Maybe Adobe heard us after all?

Hilarious. No, they heard the bell tolling, and they didn't have to ask for whom it was doing that. Flash is hated by everyone but some of the people who make flash movies and its influence has been waning as people leave it behind. They know that their days are numbered if they don't give up on the Flash runtime.
