[Xerte] Re: Mobile flash news

[Andrew Molloy]

The separation of data is probably the most important thing. It should
become irrelevant which tool you use or what you're publishing to. Xerte is
obviously a prime example of that ethos. Digital preservation is becoming a
really big deal and I think big organizations are starting to realize that
too.

 

And with the increasing number of platforms and configurations to cater for,
not only is it important for the data to be easily accessed and manipulated
but also a single form of logic creation and rely on the tool to take care
of publishing to those different formats. That Xerte is actionscript based
almost doesn't matter as long as the tool can translate that to Android/iOS
etc. I'm seeing the same trend in 3D gaming/simulation with Unity where it's
(almost) create once and "single click" publish to a variety of platforms.
In the case of Unity they're adding an export to Flash!

We need to remember that for Xerte, essentially nothing has changed.
Delivering content to desktops is still supported, Flash Player on the
desktop is going nowhere and adobe are still actively developing the flash
player for desktops. Nothing really changes.

 

The announcement does put the issue of how to deliver content to mobile
devices in the spotlight (it already was), essentially it means we have to
treat all devices as we treat iOS where there is, already, no browser based
flash player to get content to, so nothing changes as we couldn't ignore iOS
anyway.

 

We have a really powerful thing on our side: the separation of the data and
the logic in toolkits. Already we are starting to use that data to drive the
delivery of the content onto different platforms (mobile xerte) and plan to
think about HTML5 as well.

An ad blocker written in HTML 5, or an ad blocker to block adverts for
HTML5? ;-)
