Why this analysis? During an internship at IBM Germany back in 2009, I had to develop a Visualizer based on Flex that heavily relied on its charting library API. Even on strong machines, it was […]

Check out smokescreen.us for demos and more info (Thanks to Antonio for the link). Seems like it works pretty decently regarding movies and animations but I wonder if “real” applications would work with it, like for example such which […]

Since a lot of time has passed and many things changed since then, I think it’s time for an updated sight on this technology. Back in the days when […]

Lightspark is a 3rd-party implementation of Adobe’s Flash Player, written by Alessandro Pignotti and entirely created from scratch using the open specification of the Flash-format SWF. No reverse-engineering was done. It is being said, that even hardware-acceleration is supported using OpenGL. Lightspark is claimed […]

What I don’t like is the target platform: The Flash Player. So, after all these debates about Flash, isn’t it time to simply drop the Flash Player […]

It seems like Google started bundling the Flash Player together with Chrome, which has an automatic updating engine (in the background) and thus you probably didn’t notice the update. This integrated version of Flash Player is the […]
