Digital Workshop

With Apple and now Microsoft moving away from Flash in their browsers (the next Internet Explorer and the current iPad and iPhone do not support Flash) I would like to see Opus Flex able to publish in the new HTML 5 replacement for Adobe Flash.

Not so. What Microsoft have said is that Flash will not be a native element but will continue to be available through the activeX Plug-in. As they go on to say, using plug-ins is an important method for developers and designers to deliver cutting edge technologies ahead of the standards. Yes HTML5 is, IMHO, great and is the future for standardisation but what sort of company would seriously kill outright access to an accepted technology regardless of it's issues - it's churlish and frightens and confuses people trying to develop and distribute solutions to the widest number of people.

Being able to create HTML5 output with Opus will only add to the problem at the present because what MS have said is that IE9, will not work under XP, so 3/4 of their operating systems will have to have a different browser to access the technology anyway.

The market is moving to non-plugin solutions aka HTML5 for various practical and political reasons from some of the companies involved.
Plugins like Flash give a reasonably constant experience across browsers, HTML5 does not.

The abilities of HTML5 have been blown up out of all proportion by Apple (or Jobs) and it's dislike of Adobe and Flash.
Most of the HTML5 demos you find are highly optimized for a particular browser.
Apple's HTML5 demos look great in Safari, and terrible in anything else.

Maybe in the future, sometime...
