FLASH: OpenFLA Project

[dave matthews]

dave,

  i too would like to participate in an 'open scource' effort focused on

building flash tools.

  in addition to developing 3d we ALL NEED HTML IMPORT, for the following

reasons...


   *being able to import HTML as a 'load movie' function would allow us to

add complete and wonderful navigation systems to the billions of existing

web sites.


   *we could the zoom, pan, reorganize, tint,color and add overlays with

hidden buttons and movies to AUGMENT the billions of dollors already

invested in the presently operating on the web.


   *as flash designers we would become helpers and collaborators with those

in the existing web structure rather than thier greatest threat.


  *existing page systems could add too, rather than replace, thier exist

successful web efforts and those doing the information management would be

able to keep thier jobs and continue using thier existing skills... let the

html people keep being responsible for the price list changes!


  *voice overs, cues, sound effects, and music could be added to the

EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.


  *flash/swf could ALSO PRELOAD HTML, thus greatly enhancing the value of

existing html through much more rapid delivery. imagine html sites that swap

pages as fast as the best flash photo galeries!


  = swf would then expload across the existing web system and we would all

get rich as teachers and consultants., if we could import and contain html

as an object [ie: a url as a 'loaded movie'].


  i have no idea whether or not this would be possible.

  i don't understand why it hasn't been done...


please help me understand...


thanks,


dave matthews

Subject: FLASH: OpenFLA Project


Hi Flashers,


Thought I might repost this message with a new subject because I have an

idea.


Wouldn't it be nice to start an open source project involving the flasher

community.

Such as building a very fast and small 3d "flash" engine that can parse a

VRML file to create a complex 3d object.

A tough idea I know but I like a challenge.  There are so many ways to

approach this.


So my offer is this:


I have a server running linux and php3.

I have webspace for building a project site.

I have a very patient but lovely network administrator and web guru.

Everything can be configured.

A searchable message board etc... even chat.

I just don't have enough time in the day and way too much enthusiasm.


If I get enough people interested I can get the ball rolling... let's see if

we can get it off the ground.

So if you are interested.... all ideas and suggestions are truly welcome.


email me at

openflaeleven1 [dot] com

 ...see I even set up a special mail account

for it.  ; )


cheers
