Google just released a tool called Swiffy. It will convert swf files
into HTML5 files.
They have a few examples in their post:

Not sure how relevant to LiveCode, but is another example of

Thanks for the heads-up. Keep 'em coming.

Terry,
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. A couple of thoughts crossed my mind

Years ago, in a former life, I used to attend various CEO conferences. At
one of them, I had a chance to visit with Eric Schmidt, now of Google, but
then he was with Sun. We got to talking about

Very nice! Of course your challenge will be how to add a geometry manager to
the stack-- and the resulting website! It might be interesting to have it
pop out a WordPress theme ;-)
Good stuff for sure. I look forward to hearing more about it.

Chipp,
You know what? I already have part of the geometry manager somewhat working.
You can see that rectangle graphics, it has a geometry setting for absolute
position on the right side, I use that as a hint that the given object
should have width: 100% instead of its actual width... it is all
I don't expect that some LiveCard HC equivalent will ever help us to build
professional grade HTML5/CSS3 LC powered client-side apps. On the other hand,
in about server-side LC-server driven apps, i expect that a full revamped set
of htmltext and unicode LC-engine features would greatly help us

That is Fedora 15 running Gnome 3.0. It is very good and it will replace Mac
OS X as my main machine as soon as we get feature parity between the

I am running vanilla Fedora 15, with no tweaks or anything, just the plain

Actually there is a compile step. The beauty is that it happens in the dev
environment as the app is running, and only to script objects that have been
edited. Try to execute an uncompiled script and it will run like the previously
compiled script.
However, we are talking about a conversion

Hi Chipp,
This sheds some other light upon this topic. I think the reason why it is such
a torture to work with HTML5 is the lack of a good RAD tool. The guy who
figures out how to do that, is a soon to be rich guy. A development environment
with the ease of use LiveCode offers, that makes

I guess I'm not as concerned who codes it at this point, but rather is it
something needed? And if so, what are the challenges? Andre once started on
a javascript compiler for Rev, so he may know more about this.

Well, I talked with Chris. He said he remembers years ago someone built or
started to build a language tree parser for Rev so they could transcode
Transcript to another language. Once a Transcript language parser is
created, you can move it to other languages-- or so the theory goes.

Hi Chipp,
You bring up some interesting points. But still, in my opinion, HTML5 is (as of
now) too limited. In spite of everything Apple is trying to say about it, it is
not a standard. And considering the approach it is taking, it never will be.
What I mean is that there is still room to add
