You should take a look on these samples:

http://raphaeljs.com/

You can also animate vector (svg is native i modern browsers, some gpu accelrated even) with fallback for older browsers, (which raphael takes care of) Maybe not there yet, but another sign that flash plugin will die.

About the open source project, sure, but no one have bothered making a good plugin then, why bother.

Comment Protocol instead of plugin (Score 2) 507

I think they should open it, and it should not be plugin, but a protocol, as in flash://adobe.com would launch the app/anim/advanced air application/whatever in flash.app / flash.exe or your open source choice for executing flash.

And at this time when you can do everything for the most in html (html5/csse3/js) it just need skills., why should you embed the really advanced stuff flash could do like 3d games etc. For HTML pages, html is the best.

Then I do not need to restart the browser everytime there is an update to flash either, much safer than a forced execution of flash (I use flashblocking), I do not see the reason for a page to have a lot of different flash animations one page, that scenario would usually be just ads.

And you do not need flash for playing video, that era is over. If you are a developer and can not manage to make a cross platform player / solution and a worst case fallback to flash, you should not develop that page.

So there is not any sensational about this. The zip, unzips on a "unsecured" computer (opens "safe" files), but you have to run a mpkg manually that resides in your download folder, little chance that this happens, if the user are not aware of what a mpkg is anyway. Safari gives you few indications other than the download manager that a file is downloaded.

Safari / Mac OS X latest versions as 08.05.2011 CET As I happen to use the Google image search a lot, and open each image (from google results) in a tabs (collect them) and after that reviewing them. Today I searched for different architecture related things and managed to open this this FAKE AV page, a lot of times, differnt pages. And the file that is downloaded is "anti-malware.zip" [1,9 MB on disk (1 872 571 bytes)]. This file contain "MacProtector.mpkg." I am sure I do not have the default settings, because I review every programs settings before I am starting using it, as a common proceedure. I have the open secure files automatically option off, it was not opened. As far as I know Safari does not consider a zip a secure file, and there is not an automatic execution of mpkg inside a zip as standard?
