Two days ago Adobe Systems demonstrated the first time its an experimental technology Wallaby. It enables specialists in Flash to convert their projects artwork and animation contained in Adobe® Flash® Professional (FLA) files into packages HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, which will operate the device without Flash support – in practice it is all about Apple’s mobile devices, like the iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches.
Most of your Flash file should be converted including most drawing elements, fills, shape tweens, motion tweens, symbol names and instance names. Adobe’s Tom Barclay, senior product manager for the Adobe Creative Suite business, tells that, for now, the primary use case for Wallaby is converting simple Flash banner ads into something iOS users can see. For that use case, Wallaby works well. For anything beyond it, you’ll have to wait for better version.
They choose HTML5 because this language will be appropriate for any WebKit-based mobile browser. By the way, Android’s default browser is also built on WebKit. More information and dowload file you will find on this page: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/
Adobe knows that HTML5 will eventually render Flash useless for most of its current applications. They also knows that without HTML5 can lose it over and worked for many years, leadership positions, because this type of action is to save them. Wallaby project – if it is expanded and improved, only facilitate the transition from one technology to another. The main reason for migration are just mobile devices, the market is still dominated by Apple, also thanks to the million-selling new products with the logo of an apple, with the latest iPad at the helm.
