There is a way, but no one seems interested. ;-)

Quite. When Authorware went away, a lot of people were left with an awful lot of proprietary content that didn't work well on the web and was difficult to do anything with to get it into a different format. That should have been a major lesson learned. From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Andrew Molloy

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Mobile flash news 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!  From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Julian Tenney

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Mobile flash news 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.
