I think it would be unacceptable to stay chained to Flash.

Subject: [Xerte-dev] The future for rlm files?

Looking at the discussions at present regarding the next version of XOT there is a fair amount of consideration given to allowing HTML 5 projects to fall back gracefully to Flash if HTML 5 is not supported, also to allow the optional publication of projects as HTML5 or Flash (unless I have misunderstood the discussions).


Is it intended that there will always be an .rlm flash based model and a .html html5 based model for every page?
As flash falls more by the wayside is it going to be acceptable to develop new page types that are defined only with a html5 model and an xwd file, and no flash based .rlm model?

If this is acceptable then does anything need to change in XOT to accommodate this? e.g. what happens if you try to publish your project as a flash project when it contains a page that has no .rlm file for that page?

Kind regards
Johnathan
